When I was 12 years old I learned the meaning of unconditional love when we welcomed my dog "Alex" into our family, who was my best friend in the world for 11 wonderful years! Until I met my husband 15 years ago, I hadn't really spent much time with felines but he introduced me to his cats "Brandy" & "Alexander". I fell in love with both of them & their silly quirks & sweet purrs! When we moved in together, my husband surprised me with a ginger kitten we named "Hunter", who loved zucchini bread & tortilla chips & would always express his opinion about everything, he truly made our house a home! We rescued our sweet & cuddly "Asher"a year later & had true bliss in our home for a time with 2 wonderful loving cats. When our Hunter crossed the rainbow bridge, Asher took it especially hard which lead us to rescuing our amazing black cat "Wally" from the streets of Jersey City in 2015. Wally is extremely shy & skittish & has taken lots of encouragement & patience to earn his trust, but how rewarding it has been! Wally also suffers from asthma, which requires continued vigilance & medical attention.
My experience with my own cats helps me to understand the qualities that are important in a cat sitter. I am certified in canine & feline CPR & first aid. I have 10 years experience as a Registered Nurse, & I am well trained in punctuality & critically thinking through any challenging situation. In my visits to your home, I will take great care of your cats while you are away so you don't have to worry!

She consistently kept in contact with me about my kittens, which I appreciated. She spent quality time with them and didn't just feed them and leave. When I got home, it was clear that they were well taken care of.

Couldn’t ask for a better experience. Complete in her visit with a thorough update, videos, and photos upon each visit. She always stayed at least the requested time and sometimes more when she came a little early. My wife and I really felt at ease with Laura watching over our little guy Parker. Plus, she takes better photos than we’ve ever been able to so those were a lot of fun to see and keep! Huge thanks to Laura!!

Laura is the best sitter we have had! She is extremely organized, helpful, thorough, and clear in her communication. She spent lots of time playing with and caring for Astrid and sent wonderful updates. Laura even fixed her webcam when Astrid managed to unplug it. I plan to book her for all future care because I know Astrid will be in great hands.

Laura's daily written updates and photos & videos were great and so appreciated! She was super responsive before, during, and after our vacation, as well as flexible with timing, etc. It was the first time we didn't feel guilty leaving our pet alone, because we really felt she was in good hands.

First of all, I want to express how happy I am with Laura. During the days I was away she visited Henry once a day and sent me a nice report with photos and videos of my baby Henry, which I loved to see every day. She is a really cat person who took good care of Henry while I was away and I will definitely recommend your agency if someone I know needs your services in the future. It was the first time that I had someone I don’t know in my apt but I felt really comfortable with Laura. She was really great!!!

Laura has cared for our cat Daveed numerous times at this point. She is absolutely wonderful in every way: extremely responsive, consistent, thorough, and friendly. Daveed loves his visits with her, and she does a fantastic job of keeping us updated about how he's doing while we're away. We really feel so grateful to have established this relationship with her.

Laura was amazing! It's the first time in 2 years that I left my cats with a cat sitter and I had no anxiety what-so-ever about whether they'd be well taken care of while i was gone. Laura communicated with me every day I was gone, sent me pictures and videos and updates. She kept everything super clean and when i got home last night, my cats seemed so happy. I cant thank you guys and Laura enough!

My wife and I live on the UES and had to leave our cat, Dexter, for a three day long weekend. Without getting into the weeds with details, our cat had recently injured himself and we were extremely hesitant to leave him and almost cancelled our trip. By some miracle, we were connected with Laura - she was BEYOND helpful and we had total confidence in her as both an incredibly caring person and a professional. It’s rare to find someone like Laura that so obviously loves what she is doing. I’m recommending her to all my friends in the building and would unequivocally recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter.
