Hi, I’m Laurel, and I’m so glad you’re taking a look at my profile! I have been working with animals in different capacities for over eight years. I have worked in kennels where we care for pets while the owners are away. I have also volunteered with animal shelters for years. I have been walking dogs for the past two years and love the flexibility it provides for myself, the pets, and owners. Finally, I have fostered multiple puppies while living in New York City, I learned to introduce the puppies to new sights and sounds as well as other animals. I have cared for dogs and cats with diabetes, older pets, pets with food allergies, and dogs with behavioral concerns. I value pets as a part of the family and will make sure your pet is treated as such! I currently have two kittens who I adopted in October of 2021. Unfortunately I cannot board animals in my current apartment. I currently work full time from 9-5 as a social worker so my availability is limited to earlier in the morning or in the evenings. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and pets have the ability to bring us so much joy. I am always happy to be the one who can treat your pet like family and keep them safe and happy while they await your return!
