Availability
Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. My mornings start with dropping my son off at school, after which I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to the pets in my care. I am generally available throughout the week, with limited availability on occasional Saturdays. I am home most evenings and available most weekends. I treat every pet visit as a priority — not something I squeeze in between other obligations. I genuinely enjoy the time I spend with animals, so caring for your pet never feels like a chore. My schedule allows me to give each pet the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety and comfort are my top priority for every pet in my care. In a client's home, I follow their routine as closely as possible — same feeding schedule, same sleeping spots, same rules — because consistency helps pets feel calm and secure. I am comfortable administering medication, preparing meals to dietary specifications, and handling any special needs. With my background as a veterinary assistant, I am also equipped to recognize signs of illness or distress and respond appropriately.

Pet care experience
I have such a big heart with a passion for animals. I have been surrounded by dogs most of my life. I have had 5 dogs, 1 hedgehog, 1 turtle, and 2 rabbits. In the past I have worked at a veterinary hospital as a veterinary assistant and even at a dog grooming salon. I have cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, from poochons to great pyrenees. I have experience house sitting/dog sitting, and boarding in my own home. I can administer medication, prepare food, and attend to any other needs. Of course I provide lots of walks, play-time, possible massages, and lots of TLC. I will care for your fur babies as if they were my own. <3
Reviews
Laurie took such great care of all my pets while I was away. They adore her, and she gave them so much love and attention. She even sent updates so we could rest assured they were well cared for. I highly recommend Laurie, she is kind and responsible and truly cares about animals.
Laura did a great job with my dog Boscoe. She consistently communicated and spent extra time with him. I would highly recommend her and will use her again if the need arises.
Laurie was able to nurse back to life 2 of our baby bunnies who now are a few years old thanks to her! She has also done a great job watching our fish, dog, bearded dragon, and chickens while we are on vacation! We will definitely be having her watch our pets again!
Laurie P. is the best choice you can make. She has cared for our dogs for many years and always treats them like family. Laurie is an experienced, loving, and attentive animal caregiver who consistently goes above and beyond to make sure our pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Her reliability, kindness, and genuine love for animals make her a 5‑star sitter in every way. Anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and highly experienced pet sitter will be lucky to have Laurie.
