I’m a pediatric dietitian and lactation consultant turned full-time pet sitter. My schedule is very flexible so I have lots of free time to play with your fur babies! Boarding does get booked up quickly but I can typically accommodate drop-in visits last minute.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pets safety is my number one priority. Let’s discuss any concerns you may have, health issues, how they interact with other animals and people and anything else you feel is important. I volunteer and transport for several animal rescues in Alabama so I understand the importance of respecting an animals boundaries and making them feel safe.

Information Laura W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. My goal is to be as informed as possible ahead of time to provide the best experience for your baby.

A typical day

Anything you want! Love taking pups to breweries, hiking at Ruffner, Oak or Red Mountain. Walks to the river if they love water! If they just want cuddles, that’s great too!

Pet care experience

I’ve raised tiny dachshunds and giant Great Danes. Until my dog passed away in 2023, he was my baby and I catered to his every want/need. I have experience with special diets, feeding tubes, administering oral medications, IM injections, Sub-q boluses, insulin and post-op care in case your baby has any special needs. I am happy to take your dog to any vet appointments when needed, hiking, even a brewery if they enjoy being around lots of people and other dogs. I'm also happy to take care of kitties and have taken care of all types of pets from turtles to goats to chickens. I adore all animals and I would love to meet yours! If I’m unavailable or not a good fit for any reason, I’m happy to refer you to another great sitter!

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.
