I will treat your pets like family

Pet care experience

I have two chihuahuas - Aspen 4 months old and Izzie 13 years old and 2 rescue kitties Niko and Jasmine. I have the knowledge to care for small to medium dogs and would love to pamper your pup. I also love kitties. I'm very responsible and reliable. I’m recently retired so I have lots of availability to pamper your pooches and kitties. I know how hard it is to find a reliable pet sitter and that's why I provide this service. I understand the needs of small and medium dogs . Small and medium dogs have different needs than large dogs. I love all dogs but I specialize in smaller dogs. I cared for my 16 year old chihuahua who had kidney disease and who passed this year. I hand fed him every meal for the last 6 months of his life. Heck i hand fed him throughout his life when he was finicky 😊. I also get the worry of leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I’d like to ease your worries from preparing special foods to making sure they don't jump off furniture to cuddling with them so that they feel safe, secure and loved. I will provide walking, yard time, cuddling and play time for your doggies. I can also feed your kitties, do play time and change the litter pans. Your pet's bowls will be washed immediately after use and fresh water always provided. I'll treat your home and pets as if they were my own. I will send you updates on your pet and pictures too if you'd like! I had to take a break from walking and sitting to care for my elderly chihuahua but sadly he passed after living for 16 amazing years I am back and ready to give your babies the best care ever! I’m happy to provide a discount for extended days

Laurel was the perfect caregiver for my cat. She was mindful of her needs, responsive to building a relationship with her, and playful. Laurel also cared for my house and plant. I would book her again.

So happy we chose Laurel to take care of our fur baby!! We recently had our elderly cat put down and this was the first time our younger cat was left alone. He is pretty shy and apprehensive of new people but Laurel was able to give him the special attention he needed. She really went above and beyond with her care for him. She was so good to constantly update and send pics and provided good peace of mind that he was being taken care of. I will definitely use Laurel’s services again and highly recommend her!!

We picked Laurel off of the site due to her love of her own animals, her yard , her allowing dogs on furniture and on beds. Now we are picking 5 stars to rate her because of her level of care and attention she gave my fur babies. Laurel was gracious enough to meet first. When we left she provide constant pics and updates of how our puppies were doing and their activities. My puppies, never skipped a beat, they were happy to be there and it made the whole journey easy to relax and enjoy. Laurel feels like family now as she gave the ultimate care for my special lil ones. Her home as is Demeanor is very relaxing and assuring. We hope to be using Laurel a lot in the future!

Information Laurel M. would like to know about your pet

I like to know dietary restrictions, feeding times and what their style is. Low key. Playful. Senior dog. Most of all where the treats are! (If treats are permitted)

A typical day

I would like to discuss with the owner where they prefer me to walk the dogs. Since I prefer to specialize in small to medium dogs, their safety is of the upmost importance to me. I'm very protective of my own dogs when we walk and I will be the same of my client's dogs. We will play with toys inside or out.
