Pet care experience

Your dog is my dog!

Hello fellow dog lovers! My name is Laurie, and I live in Wenonah, NJ. I am fortunate to be home during the day and have plenty of time to care for your dog(s). I've cared for dogs my entire life. Prior to having children, I had a pack of 4 lovely rescue dogs! I've watched, walked, and cared for many dogs over the years for family, friends, and neighbors. I've raised several puppies as well.

Laurie was incredibly caring and loving. It’s always hard to find a new sitter you can trust to watch your dog, but she exceeded my expectations and made Daisy comfortable immediately. And her dog -Duke- is a sweetheart. I also appreciated the photo updates to ease my mind each day. Highly suggest!

Doodle had a great time at Laurie’s house. He and Duke played in the big back yard and lounged in the nice cool house when finished. He can’t wait to go back.

Laurie was wonderful with my dog Zoey. She was so sweet and nurturing with her from the very first time we met her. She gave me daily updates with photos, easing my mind while I was away. Zoey was treated as part of their family, and was happy. I am so happy that I found Laurie to care for Zoey, because I can go away knowing that she is well taken care of. Thank you so much Laurie, you're the best!

Laurie and her family were absolutely wonderful with our puppy Gracie. Having never spent the night with anyone, we were worried about how she would do, but Laurie and her family helped her feel right at home. With homemade treats, long walks at night, and plenty of snuggles Gracie had the best time. 100% recommend Laurie and her family to anyone in need of a dog sitter!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and a 7 year-old Mini Labradoodle, Duke, to keep your pup company. Duke loves having friends come over! He's a very good host and doesn't mind sharing his mom or the bed! Your dog can stay the night uncrated, or crated if that is your wish. If your dog is more comfortable staying in their own home, I can drop in as many times as needed for feedings, potty breaks, walks and playtime, or just some snuggle time- whatever makes your dog happy! I can also accommodate a combination of both drop-ins and time spent at my house as well. I can host multiple dogs at a time, with owner consent, as long as I know the dogs well enough to feel confident they will get along. Most enjoy the company like a fun sleepover party, whether they play all day or just enjoy quiet naps together! However, if you have concerns about multiple guest, please let me know.

Pets

A typical day

Your dog will have plenty of time to play fetch or play with my dog, Duke, in our fenced-in back yard. We also love taking walks around town. Duke also loves to sunbathe with his friends on the deck and spend shady afternoons on the porch.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or requirements. Does your dog get along well with other dogs? Does your dog enjoy playtime or is he/she more of a napper? Is your dog high-energy? Does he/she share well with others? Are there any special dietary needs or medication? Where does your dog usually sleep? Do you prefer your dog be the only guest? Is there anything your dog doesn't like (vacuum, getting feet wiped, etc.)?
