Experienced Cat Caregiver
Pet care experience
All around animal lover!!! I have spent many years volunteering at local animal rescue(s) primarily focused on cats. I've cleaned cages, scooped litter boxes, fed, brushed, and played with a variety of cats while getting to know their personalities! Working at the shelters has given me experience in handling all types of temperaments. I'm also experienced in administering topical and oral medication as well as SubQ injections (such as insulin). I have fostered cats and have two cats of my own. My current volunteer job is at a wild life rehabilitation center where I continue to learn so much about our area's wildlife. I am a get down on the floor with my pets kind of pet parent and I'll do the same with your pets. Caring for your pets and providing them love and comfort while you are away is my priority. Reading their body language and following their queues is of the upmost importance in a happy relationship between the sitter and the pet. My goal is to provide you ease of mind while you are away and I promise to send photos and updates with every visit letting you know how your pets are doing.

Reviews
Laura is always so lovely to our boys!!
We were concerned about our last surviving cat being alone five days for the first time in her life. Laura provided excellent care, comfort and friendship. Isis was relaxed and happy when we arrived home. Thanks for the great care.
We are so grateful to have found Laura to drop in on our kitty while we were gone for a week! Allowed us so much peace of mind to know Max was well taken care of since he is a very social kitty and likes a lot of attention. 10/10 recommend!
Laura was so kind and professional. We were at complete ease leaving our furbabies in her care. She sent pictures and updates after each visit which was so sweet! Highly recommended cat sitter!

Information Laura S. would like to know about your pet
Service Area: I primarily service the North La Crosse, Onalaska, Holmen areas and possibly West Salem. Availability: Weekday availability is mornings & evenings. Weekend availability is most anytime. I would love to know your cat and/or dogs personality. Are they shy around strangers and if so, how long does it take them to warm up. Do they have a special treat to help gain trust? Does your cat love to roll in cat nip or pounce on toy mice? Do they love to chase a laser pointer or are they more laid back and only prefer to be petted? Is your dog high energy and loves running and playing fetch or do they prefer a leisurely walk?

If they are shy, where are their hiding spots - and am I allowed to give them treats? Does your dog have a favorite scratch spot? Do they have a favorite toy or like to play fetch?
