Safety, trust & environment

Safety is upmost importance to me, checking fence lines, making sure doors are closed so pups can’t escape. Your animals are members of your family, and I treat them as such. I never like to leave animals unattended outside. I always have an eye on them. … I invested in the best background check so you can feel secure and I have plenty of numbers for referrals to make you feel at ease! We know it can be a little daunting to trust someone you haven’t met. Most of my customers end up permanent friends ! 🙌🏻 I have also been in the same community since I was a child.

Information Lauri K. would like to know about your pet

Veterinary information and emergency contacts for pet and home. Knowing special needs, personalities, quirks or traits I should be aware of as well as likes and dislikes. I am familiar with sporting, non sporting breeds, working breeds, small and toy breeds.

A typical day

Walks or Playing fetch, Hugs, cuddles and belly rubs. Keeping your pet engaged is Key! Also do training and command reinforcement if owner wishes. Every pet is different, like a human being, their personalities are unique unto themselves so they should be treated as uniquely as they are!

“YOUR FAVORITE PET SITTER” ❤️

Pet care experience

Your personal pet concierge! 🐶 Everything you’ll ever need to make you and your pet feel safe, secure and cared for. Taking care of your pet and also your home when you’re not there, to include mail and package retrieval, watering plants, removing garbage etc. Tailoring all your needs to exact specifications, pets and home, because after all, you are the boss! I love all animals, especially dogs! I’ve owned 3 horses as well. Working in a kennel as a 12 year old is where my love for animals began. I was a Breeder of Afghan Hounds and Doberman Pinschers. A German Shepherd was my last dog and prior to that, Greyhounds, border collie, italian greyhound, Chihuahua , fostered retired Greyhounds and others including Boxers, Retrievers, Collies and shelter rescues. (Its alot and I’ve learned so much) I have also owned 3 horses. Needless to say, I’m not afraid of “alot of work”! I am able to give medicine, tablets/injections, hang IV bags, senior care, post surgical home care to avoid kenneling or take your pet to the vet. Having extensive knowledge in care/training of toy and giant breeds spanning four decades I also love doing reinforcement command training for working breeds or helping with the new puppy. (who doesn’t love puppies? 🐶) While acknowledging every animal isn’t just a pet but part of your family unit, I treat them as such! Tailoring every clients services to their individual needs, going above and beyond to make your family and pet feel safe, comfortable and loved is something I take great pride in. I retired from the medical/dental profession after 37 years and am available most every day. Here’s to a wonderful experience! You had me at WOOF! Safety is a number one priority to me. Asking tailored questions to each owner keeps everyone safe. Anticipating the “what ifs” always! Checking fencelines, security of doors, leashes and collars. The owner is Boss, so they make the rules..you can never be too safe, safety is key inside and outside the home!

Lauri was wonderful to work with and gave me so much peace of mind ahead of my trip. She really used our time together to get to know my dogs, taking the effort to understand their personalities, routines, and needs. It meant a lot to see how invested she was from the start. She was always punctual and reliable, which made coordinating everything easy and stress-free. I also appreciated how she asked thoughtful, detailed questions about their care—it showed she genuinely wanted to do things the right way and make sure my dogs were comfortable and well taken care of. I felt very confident leaving my dogs with Lauri and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter.

I had a great experience with Lauri and would absolutely recommend her. She was always punctual and showed up exactly when expected, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She really took the time to listen to all of my instructions and followed them carefully, which made me feel confident my dogs were in good hands. It was clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after and takes pride in her work. On top of that, her communication was excellent—she kept me updated regularly and was easy to reach whenever I had questions. Overall, she went above and beyond, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.

Laurie really has put me at ease with leaving my babies with her :) She shows a lot of expertise with Dobermans and has already offered some great tips on raising a puppy.
