Animal lover at Heart

Having grown up on a farm, I have been around dogs and other animals all of my life. I love all animals and have a special fondness for dogs. I will treat your dog like my own. Please let me know about any special needs your dog has, from dietary restrictions to behavioral concerns-I am very accommodating and will do my best to make the transition from your house to mine as seamless as possible and would like your help in understanding how best to do that for your dog. Please include the following in your care instructions and/or inquiry if they apply: - Food or environmental allergies - Toy or treat restrictions - Any history of destructive behavior - Any history of reactivity (such as barking/lunging on leash, guarding food or toys, or uncontrollable excitement) towards other animals or humans - Any history of separation anxiety - Any other special needs, likes or dislikes that I should be aware of

Laurie and her husband took great care of our terrier. They sent daily pictures and kept us informed about his activities. I would definitely recommend them.

Eleanor loved staying with Laurie again. She takes wonderful care of dogs and sends pictures/updates! I can tell that she really cares about the animals when they are staying with her and wants them to be so comfortable…Thank you again!

Eleanor had a great visit with Laurie! She’s a bit of a nervous dog and Laurie understood and took great care of her! Laurie is very calm, patient and definitely loves spending time with dogs. I enjoyed the pictures/updates that Laurie sent and would definitely book with her again in the future..Thank you!

Laurie has such a big heart when it comes to caring for animals, particularly dogs. She has an adorable pet Yorkie that she takes everywhere with her, gives him tons of attention, and takes care of him like her child. When I have gone on vacation in the past, she has helped me by taking care of my black lab who is always so excited to see her when she comes to visit. She is also a very responsible career woman, and I know she would be an excellent dog sitter.
