More About Laura Holloway

Laura Holloway was born and raised in Madison, Wisconsin, where from early childhood she had the good fortune of experiencing the joys and responsibilities of pet ownership. She cultivated a deep interest in wildlife and nature, as well as a tremendous love for her furry, feathered, and scaly friends. Laura began her first after-school dog walking service when she was in grade school, and as an adult, has continued on to work at horse stables, dog kennels, pet food centers, and veterinary clinics. Having always been the person friends turned to when in need of care for their beloved pets, in 1997 Laura officially started her own pet care service, Companion Care.

With strong compassion for animals and an uncanny ability to come across stray and needy creatures, Laura has done a great deal of animal rescue work, volunteering at shelters, fostering and finding homes for many cats, dogs, and even pet goats. For nearly seven years, Laura resided on a dairy goat farm outside of Brooklyn, Wisconsin, where she and her dogs, cats, cockatiel and horse enjoyed the company of their veterinarian/goat-keeper landlords and crew, including llamas, horses, chickens and, of course, many, many goats.

Family ties, as well as the allure of sunshine, mountain views, and a vast array of outdoor activities all influenced the decision to plant new roots in Salida, Colorado in November of 2005. Laura enjoys the creative, small-town-friendly feel of Salida, and looks forward to continuing to raise her son, Fisher, in such a colorful, supportive and positive environment.
