Safety, trust & environment

I try my best to care for your pets just as you do when you are home. I no longer care for client pets in my home.

Information Laurel W. would like to know about your pet

I do like to know about what the pets likes and dislikes are, as to help to know how to get to know them best, on their terms. I do not have any breeds that I do not like, or have any "prejudices" towards. I take each pet as an individual.

A typical day

I would take pets on walks where they are familiar going with their parents. It helps them to feel more comfortable to be in a familiar place, especially when getting to know me. It would be up to the parents to help me decide where is best for the pets. I would also have play time in the pets yard before I would leave, to help build a bond with the pet.

Pets

Love all animals, plus experience

Pet care experience

I have been around animals of all kinds my whole life. My family raised dogs for many years. I have personally raised German Shepherd Dogs and Akitas. I am pet groomer with over 35 experience with all breeds of dogs and cats, as well as exotic pets, from pampered pets to show dogs. I have also worked as a veterinary assistant; this gives me the experience to also take care of any special needs your pet might have. I am able to give medications of all kinds, and applications. I can care for very young and also aging pets. I have no breed restrictions; all dogs are accepted on their merits. I treat all pets as I would expect my dogs to be treated. As well as their owners and their homes with the utmost respect.

Laurel did such a nice job with my puppies! They both seemed healthy and happy when I returned home. My older dog is now very slow and I know he appreciated the extra care he got from Laurel.

Thank you for taking such excellent care of Charlie. He was happy and purring when we got home!

Laurel did an amazing job! She spent quality time with the animals, took plenty of photos, provided a thorough description of the visit, and kept great communication. I'll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future. So happy to have found such a trustworthy sitter!
