Safety, trust & environment

I’m very careful with my animals and that’s exactly how I would be with any of the other animals I’d walk or watch! I’m here to follow all of your instructions because you know your animal best. I’ve managed fighting animals and happy animals so I’m here to help however is necessary. I’ve worked in education previously so training is part of who I am. I will naturally uphold whatever rules or guidelines you have for your pets! Thanks for entrusting me with your animals!

Information Laura W. would like to know about your pet

I’m happy to help any dog or cat with special needs! My cat requires an allergy medicine and probiotics. She also has colitis so I’m used to managing and loving animals of all situations.

A typical day

I love to engage animals by giving them attention in various ways! First and foremost, I plan to help them get to know me and feel safe with me!! This is slow and depends on the animals needs. I will always walk, play and give good pets to all animals I watch. I will also participate in loving your pet in whatever way you normally do!

Pet care experience

I’ve been trained to work with dogs through BarK! I’ve loved and had pets my whole life. I always want to be a voice for the voiceless. Even though that’s a very serious statement, I am extremely protective of animals and love playing with them! While you’re gone or need a helping hand, I hope to make them as happy and comfortable as possible.

Even if my dog stopped thinking she was a princess for some reason, Laura would treat her like one no matter what. 🐶 👸 - 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Laura is so awesome and this is the second time we have her looking after our kitty! Our kitty Cleo also very obviously love Laura as well! She treats Cleo like her own and kept Cleo super entertained and satisfied. If needed in the future, we will definitely ask Laura again. Definitely recommend her!

Laura is the absolute best! I was worried my pup would have a hard time adjusting after our move but we found Laura and she has been absolutely perfect! She loved my fur baby so much and Phoebe adores Laura! The fact that she is so excited to see Laura each day makes my heart happy! Thanks, Laura!
