Safety, trust & environment

My top priority is always safety above all else. Your pet’s comfort, health, and safety are what matters to me. In your home, your pet will be kept in designated areas and I’ll keep them company and give them enriching, fun memories. On walks, your pet will always be kept on a leash. We’ll go at your pet’s pace and they’ll stay engaged, well exercised, and happy!

Information Laurel S. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any allergies, aversions to people/animals, or preferences that will make our time together go smoothly, please let me know! I’m open to administering medication, giving baths, and more. I look forward to accommodating your pet as they need!

A typical day

I understand how important enrichment and excitement can be for a pet. Your pet and I will spend time playing games, exploring new smells, going to grassy fields and dog parks, and seeing new sights! Your fur baby and I can also enjoy a day relaxing in the shade, practicing tricks, and listening to birds.

Pet care experience

I’m a biology major in college moving towards a degree that will help me spend my life working with animals. I’ve pet sat for family, friends, neighbors, and strangers regularly ever since I was old enough to. I’ve watched animals of all shapes and sizes, dogs being the most common. Anything your pet needs to have a fulfilling time, I’m willing to do. I can match your sweet pup’s energy and give them a calm, quiet time or a fun, energetic day. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! I have experience administering oral medicine, insulin, and other medical services. Check out my cat-specific profile!

We used Laurel for the first time and she was awesome. Our puppy was sick with, let’s just say “GI issues” and Laurel had no problem with dealing with all that. She was a compassionate caregiver, up to the task of taking Cookie out multiple times, and cleaning up when the poor dog didn’t make it in time! I highly recommend her.

Toto loved Laurel! Would definitely contact her again to watch over our little furball.

Laurel has done a great job taking care of our dogs and cats on multiple occasions. She is responsible and attentive to their needs and our instructions. They also seem to really enjoy seeing and playing with her.
