Vet Tech w/ Lots of Love to Give!

Pet care experience

I have a huge passion for providing excellent patient and client care. My experiences with my own dogs at home and at work in a veterinary ER has provided me with the knowledge to recognize animal behaviors, illnesses, and needs. I am experienced with CPR, administering medications, and comforting and PTing sick or recovering animals. I also enjoy working with elderly animals and young bucks alike! Walks are my favorite and I enjoy taking animals outdoors for fresh air and exercise. I am completely flexible with different client needs and treat each animal with an individualized care plan. If unavailable, it is due to work scheduling. Please contact me regardless so we can work together on getting your pet taken care of! I am able to work wonders with house-sitting arrangements, even while working.... just as long as pets and clients are happy and safe. ❤️ I currently have flexible hours and days to work through Rover to assist you and your pet. I am happy to help with options of care and find clients a pet care routine that works for them. I do not have a fenced in yard so any in-home pet care would require a leash regimen for you dog. I also have one dog in-house that is extremely good with others dogs.

Laura did a fantastic job caring for our 17 year old cat who is ill. It is hard to leave him because of these factors, but I felt comfortable with Laura as she is a vet tech and very knowledgable and kind. She came to meet us and him before our trip, and I could tell through our interactions that she would do a great job- and she did! We had lots of updates, easy communications and she even took out his litter box trash bag and put a new one in so it was all fresh when we got home. I highly recommend Laura!

Laura was an amazing cat sitter for Marv & Todd! She went above and beyond when our travel plans were changed at the last minute, and we can't thank her enough! We'll definitely be requesting her to watch our cats the next time we travel. Thank you SO much for caring for our boys and sending so many sweet pictures & videos while we were away, Laura!!

Safety, trust & environment

I currently live in a secure apartment with a well behaved and friendly hound. At client’s homes, I am flexible with their living conditions to meet pet needs

Information Laura W. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences but would like to know dietary restrictions, treat favorites, medication and bedding locations in the home. I also need to know if your animal has any allergies or injuries to look out for while in my care. Other animal aggressions or issues with trust are important to understanding how I will approach their care and how to bond with them.

A typical day

Walks and runs are the best but stimulation with toys and treats are fun too. I enjoy crafting games for animals in home and outside to stimulate their minds and bodies. Body scratches and lots of rubs and kisses are important too. Treating them as my own is very important to me and connecting with them and establishing trust is key to their experience with me.
