Loving Reliable Pet Care
Hi! I'm Laurie, and I'd love to care for your pets. As a lifelong animal lover, I know that pets are family. Whether you're away for the day or taking a longer trip, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their own familiar environment, and if needed, in my home. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet's unique personality and routine. I believe every dog and cat deserves plenty of affection, exercise, playtime, and gentle care. I take the time to get to know your pet so they feel relaxed and happy while you're away. You can count on me to: Follow your pet's routine and feeding schedule carefully. Provide plenty of love, attention, walks, and playtime. Keep water bowls full, administer simple medications if needed, and clean up after your pet. Send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well. Treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own. I understand that trusting someone with your beloved pet is a big decision. My goal is to earn that trust through reliability, kindness, and open communication from our first meeting through every visit. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members. I'd be honored to provide the loving care they deserve while you're away!

Ratings and reviews
Laurie did an amazing job. She came to meet our dog first before sitting and he immediately loved her. She was a great communicator, and shared many great photos while we were away. She also asked some great questions that proved to me she cared about our pet’s wellbeing.
My dog is absolutely in love with Laurie! She has been my pet sitter and dog walker for about 5 years now. She gives such a loving touch and has so much patience with him (he is very rambunctious). She also did some training with him when we introduced a cat to our home and now my dog gets along well with cats! My dog also had to have a knee surgery and she was so great making sure he kept up with his meds and stayed calm as to not re injure himself. I truly cannot say enough good things about Laurie and her pet sitting skills. I’m always at peace knowing my pup is with her.
Laurie is one of the kindest people I've ever met, both with humans and with animals. She has a deep and abiding love and care for every creature that she encounters, and she pours her whole heart and soul into taking care of them as if they were her own. She's extremely responsible and reliable, and she goes above and beyond to keep your fur babies entertained and feeling loved, in addition to lovingly tending to their every need. Any pet that gets Laurie as their caregiver is the absolute luckiest!
Finding someone you trust with your home and your pets is never easy, but we feel incredibly lucky to have found Laurie who is an exceptional pet sitter. Laurie stayed in our home multiple times ranging from one weekend to an extended time of three weeks when we went on vacations, and every single time, Laurie has exceeded our expectations. She is extremely responsible, attentive, and genuinely caring. Our dog and two cats absolutely adore her. Whenever she arrives, they greet her with excitement as if she’s part of the family. What truly sets her apart is the peace of mind she provides. While we’re away, we never have to worry. We know our pets are safe, happy, loved, and well cared for in our own home environment. She is also respectful of our space and she always leaves our house spotless, which we deeply appreciate after returning from travel. I wholeheartedly recommend Laurie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate pet sitter. She is simply the best, and we couldn’t imagine leaving our pets with anyone else.

Schedule
I'm fortunate to have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I'm available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests when my schedule permits. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I make it a priority to give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions before providing care. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions (if needed), exercise routines, and any house rules you have for your pet. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to keep their routine as normal as possible, since familiar surroundings help them feel safe and relaxed. I'll make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of affection, and the attention they need. I'll also treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it secure and tidy while you're away. If your pet is staying in my home, they'll be welcomed into a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they'll receive plenty of individual attention, supervision, and love. I'm currently in the process of building a secure fenced yard so dogs will soon have a safe, enclosed space to run, play, and explore under my supervision. Until the fence is complete, all outdoor time will be closely supervised and dogs will remain safely leashed. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were part of my own family. I also keep pet owners informed with regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.
