I love all animals!

Pet care experience

As the title says, I love all animals - yes, even the misunderstood "mean" cats. My only "weight limit" is that of my lap, and that has yet to be reached. [Please note my rates are for clients around 10 miles or less. For each additional 10 miles (20 round trip total), I charge $5 more -- accepted in the form of a tip or cash (so it's not a nightly fee, but a gas/car maintenance/time driving fee)]

I am so grateful to have received house sitting from Laurie. She has a natural way with animals and was very attentive to the varying ages of my three dogs. She is thoughtful with communication and sending updates. She is highly trustworthy and professional. My three dogs love spending time with her.

Laurie was incredible. I have three dogs all at different life stages and she was excellent with each of them. She has strong awareness of dog body language and my three bonded with her quickly. She remained in contact with me and gave updates which gave me tremendous peace of mind. I needed help during a hard circumstance and she left my home brighter and better and my dogs happier.

Laurie was fantastic! Punctual and kind. We have a high energy 11 month old German Shepherd and Laurie went above and beyond to keep him active both physically but mentally too! Laurie stayed overnight with our GSD and left our house cleaner than when she came. Highly recommend her for house sitting!

Laurie watched our two young, high energy dogs for three days. She sent pictures daily. Played with them inside and outside. She really spoiled them just like we do, and they can be a handful. She was great. We recommend her to anyone and will use her dog sitting service again.

I'm meticulous when it comes to care. If your animal is special needs, I can provide that level of attention. I am an "endless praise" type caregiver.

Information Laurie D. would like to know about your pet

I have ZERO breed preferences! I would like to know what their favorite snacks and activities are, of course! Does the animal have any unique limitations I should know about?

A typical day

Whatever the dog or kitty feels like doing! We could go to a park, play fetch, run a few laps around a block. Maybe some snuggles and head scratches. I'm chill.
