I love working with exotic animals!
Pet care experience
I volunteer with animal shelters and have run my own reptile rescue. I worked as a vet technician assistant for over a decade and worked with animals of all sorts and temperaments. I have experience with grooming but I am currently not licensed. I specialize in reptiles and ferrets, tho I have experience in all animals including cats, large/small dogs, and some horses and birds. I currently have one iguana and I foster 9 special needs ferrets, most of which have behavioral issues or require regular medications and monitoring. I would love to learn and work more with large animals like horses, pigs and goats among others. I want to expand my knowledge and experience to all animals, as each can enrich your life in their own unique way.
Reviews
Laurie helped me last minute during the heat wave. She went above and beyond while I was gone checking in on my dogs and making sure they survived the heat and had enough water. She was on time, a great communicator, and SO kind. I’m very glad I chose her to watch over the pups.
Laurie was fantastic! She communicated during each visit and sent pictures. I felt very comfortable having Laurie take care of our animals and would hire her again! She is very attentive, caring, and knowledgeable!
I have known Laurie for 5 years and she has been a foster parent with the animal shelter I worked with and is my personal pet sitter as well. She is fantastic with the animals. Her caring and compassion is evident in all her interactions with them. She is always patient, kind, and attentive - a wonderful animal caregiver!!
So happy to have met Laurie! She truly cares for every animal! She sent me updates of my pup Sparky ♥️ Laurie is very reliable sitter! Thank you for the great care! I can tell Sparky had a great time :)

I can not currently care for any animals in my home. I hope to move into a house where this might open up more opportunities.
Information Laurie B. would like to know about your pet
Temperament is one important concern. The pup must like me as much as I like them. If the pup, or any animal really, doesn't like the person looking after them it could be extremely stressful for everyone involved.
A typical day
It depends on what you’re specific animals needs are. I will cater to them and how they like to interact. I love going on Long walks with dogs, playing with cats and snuggling with iguanas, just to name a few.
