Information Laura Z. would like to know about your pet

I don't discriminate based on breed. All non aggressive animals are welcome. I do need to be informed of any behavior issues such as resource guarding etc to ensure everyone is safe.

A typical day

I offer care in your own home to reduce the stress on your fur baby and keep them safe and sound while you are away. I can care for dogs, cats and multiple other animals. Please just ask!

Pet care experience

Laura has been working in the animal rescue community for 30+ years and is a approved foster for Williamson Country Regional Shelter, Austin Pets Alive, Bastrop Animal Rescue and Austin Dog Rescue. Laura and her husband are the founders of the Zwahlen-Benet Rescue Ranch where we have 3 horses, 2 goats, 2 pigs, 4 cats and 2 dogs. In order to help fund our work with animals, we provide care to other critters! Our passion is animal welfare. Our personal cats and dogs don't do well in boarding + the cost has become egregious and it simply doesn't need to be. Our goal is to make it comfortable for your pups/cats while affordable for their families. Laura does have hospice care experience and can manage medications, injections and tube feeding. Additional fees may apply for medical services.

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.
