Who let the dogs out? I will!!
Pet care experience
I’ve always been a fan of animals, and I was lucky enough to have a dog of my own growing up- Mandy was my best friend for 8 years. Since then, I’ve offered my expertise and love for dogs (and cats!) to friends and family both here and abroad! No dog (or cat) is too big or too small. I have taken care of the tiniest of dogs (Bootsy the Chihuahua) and the biggest of dogs (Theo the Kangal Shepherd mix.) I served as a cat socializer volunteer at the Jackson County Animal Shelter while I was completing my undergrad. I prioritize transparency and open communication when supervising other’s loved pets.
Reviews
Laurel was very communicative during her two nights spent in our home with our pup, which we greatly appreciate!! We returned to a super tidy house and more important a very well-cared for and upbeat pup. We highly recommend Laurel and definitely look forward to working with her in the future!
No one has ever stayed with my dogs that were strangers to them and me. So i thought i would give Rover a test run over night. Laurel came for a meet and greet and the girls loved her right away. Laurel was timely and communicated when she arrived and left. I would have never known she was here. House was exactly as I left it. I will definitely use Laurel again.
Laurel is a genuine delight. We're so glad to have met her and very much anticipate working with her again in caring for our beloved pup.
Laurel was fantastic!! We can home to a clean home and received lots of pictures over the weekend which helped us relax and know our fur babies were loved and well taken care of! She sent report cards at the end of the stay that were absolutely adorable! We would hire her again without question. Thank you Laurel : )

Safety, trust & environment
I am always meticulous about following instructions and tips given by the owner! For overnight and extended care, I prefer to have instructions written down and to walk through them once with the owner in person. This ensures I can provide care to your pet that won’t disrupt your pet’s normal schedule. It also gives me a chance to clarify anything I might have questions about beforehand. I’m also more than happy to send cute pictures or updates throughout the stay!
Information Laurel M. would like to know about your pet
I like to know what your dog’s temperament and activity level is. It’s also helpful for me to know what motivates them! Also general information that helps is going over eating and walking routines, what their favorite toys or treats are, and if they are social with other people or animals.
A typical day
I’m committed to keeping your dog happy! Walks and checking out all the fun smells in the neighborhood or at a nearby park, playing with their favorite toys, and lots of pets are just some of the options I can offer your four-legged friend.

Availability
I am currently a graduate student, and staying in the EL area and working on campus. I have flexibility with my work where I can have availability to do drop in visits during work days, and have most evenings and weekends free. Due to the fact that I live in university housing, I’m not able to board pets at this time, but I’m more than happy to come out to you for overnight stays, drop-in visits, and walks!
