Availability

I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and care throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so I love incorporating walks, cuddles, feeding routines, and quality time into my weekly routine. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, house sitting, and boarding depending on your pet’s needs.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. My husband and I live in a clean home with a fenced yard and one small, friendly dog. I always introduce pets carefully and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in the environment. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, medication needs, crate preferences, and any special instructions to help them feel at home.

Information Laurel M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if your pet has any special needs, medical concerns, anxieties, dietary restrictions, or behaviors I should be aware of so I can provide the best care possible. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities and always want to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Since we do have a small friendly dog in the home, I do ask that visiting pets are generally dog-friendly as well.

A typical day

A typical day includes lots of love, attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and downtime for cuddles and relaxation. I enjoy keeping pets mentally stimulated with toys, enrichment, and outdoor time in the yard or on walks. I also know every animal is different — some love to play all day while others just want a calm companion nearby — and I’m happy to adjust to their personality and needs.

Pet care experience

Animal lover with years of hands-on pet care experience! My husband and I live in a pet-friendly home with a fenced yard and our own small, friendly dog who loves new friends. I’ve cared for all kinds of animals over the years — from dogs and cats to birds and reptiles — and truly have a big heart for every pet I meet. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone trustworthy, attentive, and loving while you’re away. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, walks, medication, or just a calm and caring environment, I’m happy to help. I can also provide local references from previous pet sitting clients. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets like they’re part of the family while you’re taking care of work, travel, or everyday life!

Laurel was beyond amazing with my 2 year old Pitbull name Hustle. She kept me updated every step of the way and made me feel like I never left him. I highly recommend Laurel to anyone that is in the need of a dog sitter for any type of dog. 5 stars and I will definitely will request again in the near future. Thank you so much!

Laurel did an amazing job with our 2 dogs and one very sick little bird. She took such good care of the three of them, we never worried that our beloved pets weren't being treated as we would treat them! She went above and beyond the call of duty to see that our parrotlet had the medication he needed, and she was very faithful in sending us progress reports. When she came back to return our keys, we could tell the dogs were excited to see her and had grown very fond of her, especially our standard poodle who is normally reserved with behavior he only bestows on his favorite people. We will not hesitate to call upon Laurel any time we need a trustworthy person to take care of Yogi, Casey and Zeke.
