Trustworthy Dog Sitter in GVL
Pet care experience
I currently own a husky/shepherd mix who I rescued from a Kill shelter and treated for heartworm. He is now 2 years HW free and loves to play, cuddle and be active. He's a smart cookie, so I've learned to be extra careful with food, doors (yes, he can open doors!), windows and more. We love taking long walks and playing in the dog park. I have also taught 3 dogs how to learn basic commands (sit, stay, shake, etc) and understand dogs with both sedentary and active personalities. I live in downtown Greenville and was recently laid off due to impacts of Covid-19, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I would prefer to care for pets that are closer to my home/work to ensure maximum time with them and less commute with each visit. I live in an extremely dog-friendly apartment complex in downtown Greenville with a newly renovated fenced-in pet park out back as well as a large non-fenced in field. I live by myself with my dog, a 4-year old shepherd husky mix. My dog loves having friends and company and gets along with all other animals. I ask that your dog must be ok with other dogs for pet sitting requests. I do not keep my dog in a crate when I am away, but am flexible to meet your needs if you would like your pet to be crated.
Reviews
Great communicator, timely, went the extra mile!
Laurel is great with dogs and dogs seem to take to her quite easily. We've had her at our house to stay with our dog while we were away on many occasions, never a problem. Very trustworthy and reliable.
Laurel, is a great dog mom and would be great your pets too. She has watched my golden retriever - Scout on many occasions and is an awesome dog sitter. She sends updates throughout the day to keep your mind at ease. Scout is always excited for play dates with Laurel! Highly recommend!!
Laurel is such a genuine dog lover! Very professional and very organized. She is guaranteed to treat your fur-babies like her own. I would definitely recommend her for all your dog care needs!!

I live in a very nice, safe apartment in downtown Greenville (rated best apartment in Greenville of 2019!) We have an indoor entrance with a hallway on the first floor, as well as a fenced in dog park out back with lots of toys and a big field behind that for dogs who do not run away and need more room to run. Safe neighborhoods & plenty of walking trails nearby too!
Information Laurel S. would like to know about your pet
Before sitting, please let me know: -If your dog is good with other dogs -If there are any ailments/illnesses/medications I need to be aware of -Age & activity level of your pet -Things your dog enjoys & does not enjoy I have a husky/shepherd mix and am familiar with high-energy dogs (and escape artists!). We like all dogs but preferably those who do not bark excessively because l live in an apartment complex and do not want to upset the neighbors!
A typical day
We have a dog park out back that is loaded with toys! From time to time other dogs will be at the dog park too, so there's plenty of play if needed. I take several walks a day around the neighborhood and enjoy time outside. Right now, I'm home full-time so I'll be here to give extra attention too!

Availability
Right now I am very flexible! I would prefer to stay within a few miles of my home, due to the fact I have ongoing clients here at my apartment as well.
