I love pets and they know it !!
Pet care experience
We have had pets my entire life since childhood. We had dogs and cats indoor and outdoor. I have cared for pets from their birth until they passed to pet heaven. It is mutually beneficial to all clients and me to require a Meet & Greet for all of my first time clients. The M&G allows time for you and your pet(s) to get to know me, and we can discuss your pet's needs and any other questions that you may have for me. After our Meet and Greet, I am usually available to for last minute requests. I am experienced in house training puppies and kittens, special care for senior pets and also high energy pets. I am not available for aggressive animals. At various times over the years, I had several dogs and/or cats. I'm experienced in caring for multiple pets at the same time. I do not currently own any pets. My precious Sparky passed to doggie heaven when he was 19 years old. I enjoyed him immensely. We were practically inseparable. I brought him every place that allowed dogs. He loved people and they loved him. He was fun and entertaining to be around. My favorite "Sparky story" is... he would honk the horn on my car if he thought I was taking too long to get going. He learned it by accident but when he learned that it would get attention, he started doing on purpose. LOL My precious cat, Kiki, was such a delight! She passed to pet heaven when she was 14. She was a social pet and had her own special personality. My cat came to me during her delivery of her kittens. We bonded. She wanted me there until all four were safely delivered and cleaned.
Reviews
We are always at ease when Laurie is sitting for our dogs. She gives us lots of feedback on how they are doing and if they are eating well. She is also so very patient and kind with our elder dog Lady, who needs a lot of attention and care, and has many medications which Laurie takes great care of. Thanks Laurie for loving our babies while we are away!
Laurie was so great with our fur babies. We have a senior doggie, Lady, and Laurie was so patient and loving with her. We got daily pictures and videos and very much appreciated feedback on how they both were doing while we were away. We were very much at ease knowing they were getting so much attention, love, and play. We plan on reaching out again soon! Thanks again Laurie. 😊
Laurie was awesome house and dog sitter! If she had any questions regarding the dogs she asked with no hesitation! She was great at sending lots of photos and letting us know each day how our furbabies were doing! She made our trip more at ease knowing our babies were well taken care of while away on vacation. She left the house really really clean for when we returned home as well. So much appreciated after a long travel day to get back. I would highly recommend Laurie for any sitting needs for furbabies. She was great!
Laurie was absolutely fantastic to have as our sitter while we were away on our cruise. We got morning and evening pictures and videos of our pups and knew they were happy and well taken care of again. Will definitely have her watch them again in the future!

It is important to me and also important for your pet that you tell me all special conditions of your pet(s). I will need to know if they are afraid of anything or if they are agitated by anything.

A typical day
I enjoy talking to pets. I will pet them if they want to be petted. I love to play with them and their favorite toy(s). I'm flexible and affectionate. I follow the body language of your pet. Some pets require lots of attention. Others prefer not to be touched. It's important to me that they are comfortable and content.
