Highlights
Pet care experience
Love is “paw“tient, love is kind
If I ever win the lottery- I always say I’ll set up my own animal rescue of some kind (in addition to a nice fancy world trip). Since I was a kid, I’ve always been around animals. We had our own family dog growing up, he was a border collie and I loved working with training him. I expanded caring for animals to include sitting for my family members and neighbors around middle school, throughout high school and during college. I have since had 2 other family dogs, and now I have 2 cats at home. I have experiences working with puppies, kittens, special needs animals (tripods, medical conditions, needing medicine, hearing/visual impairments), and I understand each animal has unique needs and personalities just like us. This can look like using different approaches to work with and support animals. Professionally, I have extensive behavior training I use with my “human” work that transfers to helping adjust how I care for my animal friends. Anxious? That’s ok, I’ll go slow, let them approach me and minimize eye contact. Tell me how to best support your pet and I’m there!

Safety, trust & environment
Professionally I have years of customer engagement that required home visits and time in client’s homes. I understand, value, and respect every home setting. I will ask to know where pet items are, where any backups could be found, and things like cleaning supplies if an accident happens.
Ratings and reviews
Laurie is excellent with my fur baby, Ava. Patient. Laurie is easy to work with, and flexible. This is the first pet sitter my cat allowed to be picked up. I highly recommend Laurie.
Laurie took great care of our two cats while we were on vacation. She was communicative and spent extra time to play with the cats 😊 We would recommend her and hire her again!
Thank you Laurie. Always nervous with a new sitter and the pictures showed they were having a blast!
Laurie was excellent! She was very sensitive to my cat since it was the first time she watched Ava. Laurie was respectful of Ava’s boundaries and made it easier for Ava to warm up to her. I will most definitely hire Laurie again.
