Information Laurie H. would like to know about your pet

I’m super patient and more than happy to accommodate any special needs your pet might have. My dog used to get home cooked chicken and bones.

A typical day

There’s a neighborhood dog park next door, so your dog will get plenty of socialization. I love being outdoors - morning and lunch walks, plus sunset hikes in the foothills, city creek, and mill creek (I’ll always bring bottled water, bowl, snacks).

Dog intuitive, I listen to your dog

Pet care experience

I’m the type of dog lover that smiles and says hi to every dog. Pet sitting is my dream job since I don’t have any pets of my own yet and work flexible hours from my 1 bedroom apartment in downtown Salt Lake City! Next to Hardware Apartments, 4th West, Camber, Salt Lake Crossing. What do I prioritize? 1. Reading your dogs body language and needs. I know that being away from home is stressful for your pup, so I give them extra attention, walks, and enrichment to keep them as relaxed and happy as possible. 2. Walks are your dogs time to explore and sniff! They are encouraged to stop at every tree and meet everyone along the way. If you have an active or friendly dog, we will explore mountain trails and dog parks. If you have a senior or reactive dog - I’ll walk them where it’s quiet and shady. 3. Safety - For summer heat, I do longer walks during cool morning or sunset hours and always avoiding hot concrete that could burn paws! Unless there is unsafe situation, I’ll never yank on their leash. I specialize in creating a calm, low-stimulus oasis where puppies, senior, sensitive, or simply pampered pups receive the exact intuitive care and luxury attention they get at home. Let’s talk on the phone or do a meet/greet before confirming your booking to ensure we are a good fit!

Laurie boarded my dog Geoff for nearly 2 weeks and took amazing care of him. She sent lots of updates with photos and videos on how he was doing, took him to the dog park daily, and made sure he was well-fed. I worry about Geoff a lot because he's a rather picky eater and tends to lose weight on his already-skinny frame when we're away from him. I'm so grateful to Laurie for making sure he was eating well and maintaining his weight - I came home to a happy, healthy dog!

Laurie took such great care of our dog Theo. She sent frequent updates of everything they were up to (including daily walks to the esplanade) and he came home so happy! He will definitely be going back to Laurie in the future :)

Laurie went above and beyond taking care of our dog while we went on vacation for 10 days. We’ve never had a dog sitter so dedicated, efficient and caring as her. She truly took care of our dog as if he was her own. We were updated frequently with beautiful pictures reassuring us that our dog was in great hands. We would highly recommend Laurie and would definitely use her again!

Lori is the absolute best. I have a 2 year old Cavapoo who gets puppy sat by Lori regularly, and the second he sees her, he does a full body wag, and it’s like I don’t even exist! She is very attuned to his feelings and needs, and has even made great observations and recommendations that I would have never noticed/totally missed myself. Whenever he returns home, he is always tuckered out from all their fun activities, and is always happier than before. Koa loves when he goes to “Aunt Lori’s” house to play, she has become a part of our Boston family.
