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.

Pet care experience

I have two chihuahuas - Aspen and Izzie and a rescue kitty Niko. 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 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 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’m happy to provide a discount for extended days

Laurel is wonderful! She took great care of our two cats while we were away for a few days. They were fed, cleaned up after and loved. We thought we couldn’t ask for any more than that, but then Laurel also needed to intercept multiple packages we had delivered. We really appreciated her communication and care for not just our cats but our home while we were gone. We will certainly be reaching out to her again.

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!!
