Safety, trust & environment

I don’t sit for other dogs in my home! My dog keeps me busy - walking 3 times a day, playing zoom, going to the park!

Information Laurie A. would like to know about your pet

I need to know if your dog is difficult to walk. I prefer dogs under 50 lbs and dogs that don’t pull! I raised 2 deaf dogs so I have experience with dogs who have special needs.

A typical day

We go outdoors whenever possible, even if it’s to only bask in the sun. My dog loves this! Playing with dog toys, learning commands, and snuggling a lot!

Rescue dog lover!

Pet care experience

Dogs have always been in my life, from childhood, after college, raising my son ( we had 4 dogs!), and now as an older adult! I have adopted senior rescue dogs ( 5 dogs in the past 18 years). LI can't imagine my life without a dog and will always look for another rescue. But now I just want to have dogs around me and that's why I want to pet sit!

Laurie is very sweet and kind and took all my notes in stride! She's very good with my dogs who are 15 1/2 years old. I will ask her again to care for them in the future.

Laurie was a fantastic pet/ house sitter! She was responsive, kind, and took great care of our dog and our house. I would have her back again!

Laurie is an amazing fur parent to senior dogs, as well as a remarkably patient and loving carer for others' pets too. To be upfront, Laurie is a very good friend, but is also one of the first people I think of if I have a booking that I cannot take, due to her conscientious nature, loving spirit, and just her sweet way with animals. We worked together, with one family in particular, as their 17.5 year old doggie needed almost around-the-clock care. It was so lovely to be able to keep in contact with each other (as well as Kirby's fur parents) on things, plus super awesome to be make it easier to switch up schedules if we had something else arise. I would trust her with any animals, and frankly humans, b/c of her caring nature and loving way of understanding needs. She is a gem of a hoomin.
