Hello, thanks for visiting! My name is Laura and I reside in the west suburbs of Chicago. I worked at a veterinary practice for 3 years during my undergraduate studies and enjoyed every minute of it. Unfortunately, now that I'm done with school and married with a 2 year old, I have a career that does not include cuddling and caring for pets. :( I don't have any pets at home currently but my parents have a wonderful 13 year old bichon and 2 dsh that we've had since babies. My love for animals is beyond belief and I would enjoy the company of caring for your fur babies when you have to be away. I'm a very physically active person, so if your baby needs a nice long walk (or run) that is no problem for me. Plus, I live right by the Fox river, which has a nice long trail. As mentioned, I have a 2 year old boy, who adores dogs and cats so friendly pets is a must... I promise he's gentle. :) I'm looking forward to working with nearby families.
