“This was our second time using Laura. She communicates amazing and sends pictures and video. She always leaves the house cleaner than when she found it. She truly is an amazing sitter and I feel blessed to have found her.”

“Kayla was professional, prompt, and courteous. She stayed in our home four nights taking care of our 10 week old Lab puppy. Not an easy assignment. Kayla followed his busy schedule and took amazing care of him. We would be thrilled to use her again!”

I’ve cared for countless dogs in this home, including special need seniors.

“Shawna did a great job watching my two Westies. I could tell she is an animal lover by the way my boys immediately accepted her. She sent photos while I was at work, and kept good conversation with me. It wasn't easy leaving my boys with a total stranger, but the photos and texts put me at ease knowing my fur babies were well taken care of. Thank you Shawna!”

About: i have many years of both professional and volunteer experience working with animals. I work with cats and dogs of all sizes and ages at my day job with Haven of the Ozarks. During my nearly four years with Lawrence Pet Friends, I got to walk dogs and provide in-home care for dogs, cats, birds, rodents, and reptiles, plus one emperor scorpion named Fluffy. I also spent a summer working with brood mares and their foals at the Kansas Center for Equine Breeding. In my personal life, I have also kept aquatic animals and rats. My experience has included neonatal kittens and puppies, as well as disabled animals. I am comfortable working with blind and deaf animals, seizure-risk animals, and animals with incontinence and mobility issues. I am comfortable giving oral medication and bottle feeding. I am also willing to meet and learn about any kind of pet you may have. Whether I’m there to let your dog out to potty and play a quick game of tug-of-war, or to work with them on leash walking, or to hang out with an anxious kitty while you’re on vacation, I promise to love your animals just as you would! I currently work five days a week at the Haven, from 8:30 AM to 4 PM, with varying levels of flexibility therein. I also have obligations every other Tuesday evening. However, with enough notice, we can absolutely work out a plan for you and your pet! At this time, I am only providing in-home care. My cats would hate me if I brought a dog home! For vacation cat clients, I can do a one-or-two visit per day arrangement for feeding and litter scooping and love. Or if your pet is most comfortable with someone in the house, I can stay with them overnight. For daytime doggie clients, I can visit up to four times a day depending on schedule and distance, providing a walk and potty run at 7 am, noon, 4:30pm, and 9pm.
