Pet care experience

Ready to be your cat’s new bestie🐾

TLDR: - I'm a lifelong pet owner - grew up with a dog, and now have a cat! - I will provide care and company to your pet so that you can have peace of mind while you're away, and so they'll be safe and entertained until you're reunited! - I have experience administering meds for cats, including pills, liquid meds via syringe, and injections, and can provide this as part of my cat sitting service if necessary. --- Hi! I'm Laura, and I live in Crown Heights with my kitty Perchik. I'm the one at parties who's on the floor playing with the dog, or off in the corner making friends with the cat. I'm a lifelong pet owner, having owned a labrador retriever for my whole childhood, and now have a one year old mischievous black cat keeping me on my toes! When I'm not out and about, I'm at home with my very energetic cat. In his short life, he has already experienced a lot of medical hardships, which has given me the skills of administering many types of cat meds, including pills, liquid meds via syringe, and injections. When your cat is in my care, I'm happy to administer meds for them if necessary. I've experienced a variety of cat personalities and I'm perceptive when it comes to sensing if an animal needs space or attention, extra relaxation measures to calm their nerves around a new person, or an abundance of exercise to get their energy out. I will meet your cat at their level and make sure they are feeling as comfortable and cared for as possible! It can be nerve-wracking to be away from your pet even for just a short time. As a Rover sitter, I will provide care and company to your pet so that you can have peace of mind, and so that they can be safe and entertained until you're reunited. 🐾

Laura is a thoughtful and communicative sitter! She has looked after my cat before and hopefully will again!

Laura is so great and attentive. This is my second time having Laura take care of my cat. I also booked her super last minute this time and she was ready and able to help. Great communication, my cat really likes Laura. Very happy to keep Laura as my cat sitter.

Laura is awesome, very attentive and professional. My cat was very happy to have Laura taking care of her and someone to play with while I was gone. I highly recommend Laura and will definitely hire her for the next time I’m away. Thank you so much Laura!

Laura was great! My cat is pretty low maintenance, but it still feels good to know she's in the hands of someone kind, communicative, and professional.

I work from home 3/5 days a week and spend a lot of the weekend in my neighborhood, so I'd love to spend some of that time being there for your cat!

A general overview of your cat’s personality is super helpful so I can interact with them most appropriately depending on how outgoing or introverted they are. If there's any medicine that needs to be administered to cats, a heads up about tips that work when giving your pet meds would be great too (do they claw? is a certain method more effective than others? etc.).
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
