About Laura

I'm a university professor, so have summer (late May-late August) and winter break (late December-late January) open to visit different places around the world. I like to live like a local and get to know the area. I'm a quiet type, happy to stay home with the pets, read, write, and feel the rhythm of the location. I'm a mature, responsible, non-smoking/no drugs individual, and a home owner myself so I know how to take care of things properly. I also do a lot of pet-sitting (have excellent references through the pet-sitting sites I'm registered with) and love the company all kinds of animals. I also have owned homes in remote/rural areas and islands, so understand the special demands of maintaining a house in these types of locations.
Why I want to house sit
House- and pet-sitting is a great win-win opportunity: I have a lovely summer or winter break, and you get the peace of mind that your home (and pets, if you have them) are in responsible, loving, caring hands.
My experience
I have years of experience maintaining my own homes (some on islands and other remote places) and pet-sitting through Rover.com, where I receive 5 star reviews (I can give you the website link). I'm a good fit for your home and pet sit needs if you're looking for a person who is:
* Mature, reliable, non-smoker, no drugs, sensible, capable and conscientious home owner.
* Quiet, clean and tidy, not bringing along any kids or pets: your home will look the same if not better when you return.
* A devoted, life-long animal lover, with extensive experience caring for dogs, fish, cats, birds, and hamsters... who can follow instruction on chickens, horses, and other creatures.
* Self sufficient and adaptable to the special needs of unusual, remote or high-maintenance locations.
* Able to provide extensive personal, petsitting and housesitting references.
* The YouTube video attached to this listing is a slideshow I put together of the pets I took care of last year - you can see me in some of the photos too - I think it will give you an idea of how much I love animals!

for a month. My pets were totally spoiled, the house was in perfect order.
Laura also had to cope with unexpected problems which were a result of house renovations after the 2013 cyclone
in Vanuatu and she managed to get all resolved.
Again, the best house sitter ever.
Thanks Laura for everything and apologies for the shortcomings of the house.- Organised

Laura house sat for us last summer (June/July 2015) on South Andros Island in the Bahamas. She took wonderful care of everything including our dog and cat. She was very diligent in her care as well as her communication with us as necessary during her stay. She's house-sitting for us again this summer and it's very comforting to be leaving the property and animals in her care. We'd highly recommend her to others and hope to keep our relationship active year after year.

Laura watched our two dogs on the day my husband and I got married, and we wanted to make sure they'd be well taken care of that day. Laura met with up with us beforehand to meet our dogs, and we were glad to see that both of them took to her immediately. She took notes of what we told her our usual routine was, and what we'd hope she be able to do with them that day. Laura was great, our dogs were clearly very happy with her from the photos she sent us and we'd recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter.

Laura is the most organized and detailed person you can find for your home/pet sitting services. Laura is also very communicative, inventive and creative (if needed) and no one will pay more attention to your pet than Laura. Your pet will love her!
