Pet care experience

Bourbonnais Illinois Area

I have owned many pets over the years. I currently own a Labrador retriever who is an award-winning dock diver, a cat, and a horse. I have worked as a veterinarian technician and currently work as a nurse so I am knowledgeable about illnesses and injuries, both animal AND human! (they really aren't that much different!). I am looking to supplement my income doing something I love. I have had experience working with professional trainers. I have rescued an unknown amount of critters over the years and have either kept them, found their owners, or found them good homes. if i can keep up with my rambunctious lab, I can keep up with anybody! I will care for your fur children like they were my own! I am available afternoons, evenings, and at night for night shift workers.

House Sitting • Feb. 27, 2019

Gumball and Vinnie loved Laura! She babysat them in our hotel room while we were at a concert. She sent us lots of pictures which really put our minds at ease. Not everyone could handle 2 rowdy Boston puppies but they felt so at ease with Laura that they relaxed and snoozed. I will definitely use Laura again when we visit Phoenix.

no aggressive dogs, please. I can care for all breeds and even horses if you have them as I have owned a horse who passed in September 2023.
