20 yrs experience with animal care
Pet care experience
l have spent over 20 years working with dogs, horses, cats, and more, and 10 of those years were in a professional capacity working at a dog and horse boarding facility as well as running a local pet sitting business for all types of animals. l love everything from cuddling on the couch to going on long walks! I’d be excited for the opportunity to treat your pet as my own while you’re out and give them a fun vacation with a new friend.

Thank you for taking such good care of Ruby again!! She had the best time.
Laurel is the best! Thanks again for taking such good care of our little dog. She loves spending time with Laurel!
Laurel was great as always!! She takes good care of our little poodle. She sends lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay. She is very flexible and communicates well. Thank you Laurel!! Ruby loves you!
Greats pics of the dogs. Arrived early and played with the dogs for hours.
About Laurel M.

Safety, trust & environment
I only offer pet sitting in your home- I find the animals are much happier sticking to their regular home and routine while their people are gone! I do work full time, 4 days a week from home and one day a week I have to go into the office. If your pet can’t be home alone for 12 hours one day, we unfortunately won’t be the right fit. If you have a doggie door or if your pets are used to you leaving the house for work, please reach out!
Information Laurel M. would like to know about your pet
Is your dog aggressive toward unfamiliar people or dogs? Does he or she try to run out when entering/exiting the home? Does he or she have a favorite route to walk? I love all breeds of dogs; I grew up with a greyhound and several mutts and hound mixes. I’ve never met a pitbull that wasn’t a total sweetheart, and I’d never turn down a small breed cuddle buddy either. I'm up for anything!
A typical day
We can do anything from cuddling on the couch to long walks around the neighborhood and playing in the yard! Please note that I will not accept next-day requests to walk or check on dogs I have not met before. For your pup's piece of mind and mine, I prefer not to be a stranger when approaching your home alone for the first time!
Services
Laurel can watch in your home
Availability
I have watched several senior dogs, groups of dogs, cats, and everything from an elderly dog on puppy pads who needed his food cooked and softened twice a day to a puppy who needed multiple walks a day and everything in between. I am comfortable giving medications, dealing with minor behavioral issues, and sticking to routines that work best for your animals.
