Love your fur babies like my own!

Pet care experience

I have been involved in pet rescue/fostering for many years and have experience in many breeds, ages, sizes and personalities. The services I would like to offer are dog walking (both scheduled and as-needed), drop in visits, and overnight pet sitting. I attribute my success to taking the approach of learning the individual nuances of each pet and focus on positive reinforcement. This reduces stress on the pet and creates a win/win environment for both of us. Also, I believe communication is key and will gladly provide detailed feedback to you. My availability currently is somewhat flexible and for the most part I can typically accommodate your request. I would love to have the opportunity to help you with your pet care needs and look forward to spending time with your fur babies! I treat your furbabies as my own, but will also adhere to any special preferences, requests, schedules, etc. that the pet parent would have. I have the philosophy that pets are extended family members.

We have re-booked Laurie several times now due to her exceptional level of service and care for our two pups. She is outstanding!

Laurie is hands-down the best sitter we could ask for. She continually loves our boys just like we do. Her updates are regular, communication is stellar, and the house is always left in perfect shape. I would recommend Laurie for anyone!

Laurie was great to work with before the stay, a very proactive communicator, and took excellent care of our girl and home. We hope she’s available for our next trip out of town so we can work with her again!

Laurie was simply amazing! From the daily updates and pictures to making sure our boys felt loved, she went above and beyond to care for grizzly and bluff. She is conscientious when in your space and will leave it better than she found it. 10/10 plan on using her services again.

Safety, trust & environment

I will always place priority on the safety and well-being of your fur baby, of course utilizing what protocol is being followed by the pet parents. Should I observe anything that I deem unsafe for your pet, I will immediately notify the pet parents. My policy is no dog parks. If this is a regular part of your dog's life, I will create an alternate form of activity.

Information Laurie B. would like to know about your pet

It is imperative that I am provided detailed information regarding your pet: feeding/walking/sleep schedule, triggers, any medications they may need administered, favorite toys or games, vet information, and local emergency contact, if traveling.

A typical day

My philosophy with pets is geared towards a custom approach by identifying specific activities for that particular pet. Example: a puppy will definitely need more stimulation and play than say a senior dog.
