Pet care experience

I will treat your pets like family

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

This is the second time Laurel has watched our cats for us, and as long as she’s available, she’s who we will always go to! Laurel clearly cares for our animals when we’re away, and does the extra little things too. She peeped that we had a thirsty plant and gave it some water during her check in too!

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!!

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!
