Pet care experience

Keeping your babies safe and loved!

Trusting someone else with your pet can be scary, which is why I go out of my way to make sure we're on the same page about anything and everything you and your pet will need during their time with me. Want frequent text updates? Absolutely. Does your dog need lots of petting? Ball throwing? Cuddles? Done. I've been taking care of dogs since I was a child - I never lived without dogs. I have taken care of many senior dogs - my own and those I've watched - so I know what it's like to sit up with a sick dog all night. I can stick to a complicated medicine routine. Most importantly, I understand that everyone has their own pet-care routines, and the last thing you want to do is have that disrupted when you leave. I will make sure we are in 100% clear agreement about what you need me to do to ensure both you and your pet are comfortable and happy.

Safety, trust & environment

I live close to Maria Hernandez park! I love to walk, so I can do as much of this as your pet needs. Happy to sleep with a dog in the bed or not, whatever they prefer. Can provide lots of cuddles and ball throwing.

Laurel took such great care of Adam!! She sent lots of updates and I could tell he was having so much fun. She was super responsive and gave Adam so much love. Would definitely recommend!!

A++! Our dog has some extra care instructions that Laurel goes above and beyond to provide without blinking (including pills & carrying up and down 3 flights of stairs). She's experienced and comfortable with dogs & our pup is calm and even excited to see her. Laurel is our #1 choice for any future dog walks or dogsitting

Laurel Williamson is an extremely conscientious and trustworthy individual who will keep her commitments to you and your pet and treat your home with respect. She loves and understands animals. She comes from a family of dog lovers, has been around dogs her whole life and has cared for multiple pets while family members travel. Those pets have ranged from young, extremely active dogs to very old dogs with physical and mental impairments. She has experience with small, medium, and large breed dogs. She has given medication and cared for dogs with orthopedic problems and incontinence. Finally, Laurel doesn't just love dogs - they love her. I have never seen a dog fail to warm up to her within minutes of meeting her. I wholeheartedly recommend her.

Laurel has watched my 3 (large) dogs countless times. I have 2 beautiful Golden Doodles and a Pitbull mix, and I always feel comfortable leaving town knowing they’re in her hands. She goes the extra mile to make sure the dogs are okay, whether that be playing with them, making sure they’re exercised, or showering them with attention. She follows all my instructions to the letter. 10/10 would recommend to all looking for a trustworthy and incredible dog sitter!

Let me know about any special needs/medical requirements your pet may have as well as their sociability with other pets/humans so I can be sure we're totally clear on what's expected to keep them safe and happy!
