Pet care experience
I started cat-sitting for my neighbors when I was 15 and have loved caring for pets ever since. I have experience pet-sitting cats and kittens, dogs (from puppies to a Neapolitan Mastiff), rabbits, rats, spiders, fish, and macaws. I also have experience with special needs pets such as two-week-old kittens, kitties who need IV fluids or shots, and cats and dogs and macaws who require oral medication. I am comfortable with snuggling a pet all day or giving them their space. I am able to go for long walks around the neighborhood or on hikes with your canine athlete, or I can spend an hour walking your senior pup one whole block. I have some experience training dogs with basic commands, so I can and will adhere to your training regimen and use your dog's commands as instructed. Please feel free to ask me questions about my experience and abilities. I would love the opportunity to become friends with your pet!
Reviews
Laura is the best!! Takes great care of our dog and very respectful of our home.
Laura was INCREDIBLE! We felt so comforted with her watching our cat, Larry, and rabbit, Thumby. Laura sent the best updates and pics - we especially got a kick out of her fun updates! She messaged us when our cat got a little sick on the rug with pictures and helped clean it up, which was so nice. Thank you so much, Laura!! We highly recommend her! ❤️
Amazing, thank you for keeping our kitties happy & healthy!
Laura is amazing! This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous to leave our little pup behind. Laura did such a great job taking care of Phoebe and was incredibly communicative with us the entire time. 10/10 recommend and we will be requesting Laura again.
About Laura Y.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always provide a free meet-and-greet for first time clients so that I can get to know you and your pets. I offer drop-in for visits and house/pet-sits in your home in the St. Louis area. I am able to spend the night in your home with your pets if needed for company and for late night/early morning potty breaks and meals. I live in the St. Louis Hills area and do need to charge travel fees for housesits more than a 30-minute drive away from Willmore Park.
Information Laura Y. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed restrictions or preferences. I ask that you provide me with a thorough introduction to your pet so that I understand their personality and needs before I spend time with them alone.
A typical day
For house-sits, I provide all meals and potty breaks according to the pet's routine. I ask that you let me know how often your dog needs potty breaks during a house-sit so that I never leave a dog dancing. Please also let me know how many daily walks your dog would like to take! I'm comfortable in the snow, heat, rain, and sunshine, so we can make a walk happen as long as the weather isn't dangerous! For drop-in visits for dogs, I provide a potty break, a meal if needed, water refreshment, and playtime or cuddles or short walks, according to the dog's preferences. For drop-in visits for cats, I provide meals if needed, water refreshment, poop-scooping, and playtime, cuddles, or space according to the cat's preferences.

Availability
Pet care is now my full-time passion and career. I am available for house-sits and drop-in visits, schedule permitting. I am no longer taking on new weekly dog-walking clients. Please feel to reach out for my availability for sits and visits. Please note that my housesitting calendar books up 2-3 months in advance.
