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

Thanks, Laura! I really appreciate all you did for my pups! The pics, videos, and commentary really helped me keep up to date! Will surely connect for next time I need a sitter for the gang! :)

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!
