Animal Lover Lives to Help Animals
I have over 13 years experience doing vet assistant and vet technician tasks and skills as a volunteer at The Animal Welfare League in Chicago Ridge, IL. I have been employed as part of the membership and philanthropic department at Lincoln Park Zoo from which I learned a great deal, stemming from my biology classes on taxonomy to zoology, to specific animal facts and conservation of threatened animals. I therefore know a great deal of educational background on animal behavior. I studied psychology and comparitive human psychology/animal behavior with a bachelors in science from IIT. I have grown up with dogs, cats, and ferrets. At Southwest Animal Care Center, I bathed, fed, walked, medicated, and cared for boarding and patient animals. I graduated with my veterinary assistant certificate in 2018. After graduating from IIT, I became a kennel attendant and learned a great deal about how to care for animals. Pet care is a daily task for me as I take care for two little fuzzbutt ferrets, Icarus and Agatha. Icarus often wakes me up with his bushy tailed excitement. I'm lucky to have such wonderful critters in my life. Right now, I am only offering dog walking and off-site at client's home services. From what I've read from the anthropologist book "Inside of a Dog" by Alexandra Horowitz, animals, especially dogs, crave human attention so being attentive to an animal's needs is to me, what's most important. This includes communicating with animals to know when they need a bathroom break, when they want play, when they want affection and cuddles, when they want nappy time, being fed according to what their schedule is, and of course, offering healthy treats (if allowed) and new novel smells, toys, etc.

Bewertungen und Rezensionen
Laura stayed at our house for 2 days while we were out of town- took care of an older cat and dog, plus 2 box turtles. She was very attentive to their needs, took great care of them. The pets appeared very happy with her ! I also appreciated that she texted me photos and updates. She is a very nice person, I will ask her again to pet sit .
I've known Laura for more than 15 years, and she has always been an animal lover. I worked with Laura at the Animal Welfare League and saw first hand her skills in animal handling and care. Laura is a trustworthy, sensitive and thoughtful individual who would treat another's pets as her own, showing them respect and compassion while she tends to them. I've trusted her to watch my own animals when leaving town, and have complete confidence in her ability to safely and thoughtfully provide care.
My good friend Laura is one of the most kind and lovely people I've ever met! I witnessed her meet and interact with over a dozen dogs that I have hosted at my house over the years. Every dog immediately sensed her gentle nature and felt comfortable around her (even the super shy ones)! We have walked dogs together many times and she is always attentive to their needs and safety. I can't recommend her enough to take good care of any animal!
Laura was a kennel tech here. She cared for the animals. she feed and walked and gave meds when they were boarding. She worked well with staff. Vickie
Laura is a very responsible pet owner and very caring person. She has 3 ferrets and a cat and takes care of them by making sure they are safe, entertained and regularly visit their veterinarian for appointments. She is also a very compassionate person. She is the one who convinced me to try vegetarianism and eventually veganism. She practices what she is serious about. And she'd be great to watch over your precious pooch.

I can manage 4-5 walks per day with one or multiple dogs at a time 5-6 days a week. This is my main job and I'm dedicated to providing top care as if they are my own.
