Laura’s Bio
Hello Pet Parents,
I am Laura Davis, a pet lover -- so much that I rescued a young tabby cat from under a car in the Mission, took him in a cab to an animal shelter, visited him every day -- and when his owner did not come forward I helped persuade someone to adopt him.
In the early 90's I adopted a 6-month old kitten from Pets Unlimited in San Francisco, who traveled with me to many places, living to the age of 21. I had another cat who came to my doorstep in Minneapolis and decided to move in, living the good life until she was 18 - - so I must have been doing something right...
I am empathetic to older animals; I've taken care of a 14-year old diabetic cat, giving him pills and insulin shots twice daily, I've also administered liquid medicine.
While I'm a dedicated follower of felines, I have also looked after dogs -- I've walked 2 Pomeranians in tandem, and romped with a rambunctious miniature Australian Shepherd. I frequently look after a Terrier, whose pet parent wrote:
"Laura stayed with our dog Ollie for 3 weeks and was an absolute delight. She sent frequent updates and photos, removing any anxiety we may have otherwise had being away for so long. She's a very special soul, and was able to connect with our little guy, We've had her back a number of times now, and are thankful to have a caring and reliable friend to call when we need to leave town. "
I've taken care of various breeds and temperaments, ranging from Dalmatian to Maltese. In my youth I had a guinea pig, so I am comfortable with small mammals.
And I have recently looked after 9 chickens -- that was a new experience! -- in the same household as a large dog and 4 cats, 2 of them formerly feral. We all got along well, and I've been asked to return to that home and do it again.
I regularly take care of a dog and cat whose pet parent wrote:
"Laura watched my cat and dog for 2 weeks and took care of my home. She gave me daily updates with pictures so I never had to worry about my
pets. My pets seemed very happy and healthy when I got home. Recommend her very highly!"
As a writer, my time is flexible, and I can give pets lots of attention and affection.
If I can be of help to you and your pets, I would be pleased to talk with you.
Thank you for any consideration.
Laura Davis
Pet Companion/Caregiver/House-sitter

Laura is an amazing sitter and provides above and beyond service! She was extremely communicative and sent me detailed pictures and updates via whatsapp while I was out of the country. She showered my pup with love and attention in every way. Since she works remotely, Laura was able to give my dog far more attention than she would normally get from a sitter.
She is very sharp and thinks of everything, from reminding me to call my vet to give them her contact info while I was out of town to suggesting burying a spare set of keys somewhere in case of an emergency.
I normally have a really hard time being away from my dog when I'm out of town but this time I felt totally at peace with the situation because I knew she was in such great hands with Laura. I can't recommend working with her enough!
Laura looked after our 16-year-old cat Salem when we went away on vacation for a week. She was very attentive and provided regular updates and photos, so we never worried about how he was doing. Salem had recently lost his “brother”, so it was very comforting to know that he had someone so caring with him while he adjusted to being an only cat. He also has gastrointestinal problems, and can be somewhat anxious; but the fact that he didn’t throw up once while we were away is a testament to the excellent care that she provided!
Laura's years of experience, genuine love for animals, and communicative nature were ideal for our home with multiple animals. Laura cared for our two cats, two chihuahuas, and two rats while we were out of the country. She sent us frequent updates - including pictures - so that we never felt out of the loop with what was happening in our household. We are confident that our animals received the same level of love and attention as they would had we been home ourselves.
Laura stayed with our dog Ollie for 3 weeks and was an absolute delight. She sent frequent updates and photos, removing any anxiety we may have otherwise had being away from our little guy for so long. But the best part was that Laura truly fell in love with our dog. She's a very special soul, and was able to connect with our little guy, and with our community for that matter. She made great friends with neighbors and neighbor dogs! We've had her back a number of times now, and are thankful to have a caring and reliable friend to call when we need to leave town. As a matter of fact, we actually want to take trips now because its such a treat for Ollie when Laura comes to stay with him.
