About Laura

Experience: 10 yrs

I have been caring for animals since my first cat at age three. Since 2017, I have taught Animal Husbandry to children ages 3-13 at a school in Santa Fe, which included horses, donkeys, pigs, goats, llamas, alpacas and chickens. I have owned, cared for and rescued numerous horses, dogs and cats over the years, and love others' pets the same as my own. As Ranch Manager, I recently managed all veterinary care, feeding and training aspects of a horse operation at a high end retreat facility. I also have experience with general livestock care and ranch management. I have a 13-year-old mixed breed dog who is very sweet and comes with me. She is great with cats and most other dogs. If your pet has issues, I will keep them separate. My rate for overnight care varies depending on the number of animals you have and the work you need. Caring for animals is one of my greatest passions, and if I work for you, you will find that I am reliable, compassionate and straightforward.

Laurie is super caring and conscientious and a great multitasker! She took care of out 3 dogs, 9 alpacas, four horses and our parrot while we went out of town for several days. All the animals love her! She stayed at our house while we were gone, which was a blessing because we knew the dogs would do best at home with someone around. It worked out great!!! Laurie is the BEST!!
