About Laura

Experience: 5 yrs

Hello! I love dogs, cats, and animals of all kinds, and would love to take great care of yours! I pursued a love of animals after college by working at Petsmart's dog grooming salon. There, I learned how to handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments, with a focus on the safety and comfort of the dog, attention to detail, and building up good dog and people communication skills. After cleaning kennels, no mess can shock me anymore! I also sadly had a cat who passed away from cancer. During her care, I learned how to give medication in pill and liquid form and give subcutaneous fluids. If your cat has any medical needs, I'm confident that I can handle them if shown what to do. I have also owned small animals in the past and learned a little about their care and handling during my time at work. Whether dog walking or any kind of pet sitting in general, your little buddy will be in good hands!

Laura is conscientious and dedicated. She is very good with children and enjoys planning activities for their interests and appropriate for their ages. She's also a very good cook! Laura has a lot of experience with animals since she grew up with cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and fish. She's the only one in the family who successfully gave the cats baths!
