Pet care experience

Love dogs even more than travel!

Pups are my favorite! But I’ve had a variety of pets throughout my life (ferrets, cats and even goats!). I love to stay active and dogs are such wonderful bursts of energy. I can offer multiple walks a day, either at my home (very large yard) and am in close proximity to a number of parks. I’m comfortable administering medicine if need be and can cater to whatever special needs there are. I truly do love dogs and I would do whatever I can to make sure his or her time is as fun as can be. I try to stay as active as possible and getting the chance to work with dogs is a fantastic way to combine time with pups and staying busy! For larger dogs there may be an additional fee.

Laurie is an excellent cat sitter. She likes my cat and does whatever she can to make her comfortable. I trust her fully and she has always lived up to my expectations. I will continue to book her to take care of my fur baby.

Laurie is the best cat sitter I’ve ever had. She is 100% reliable and very careful to do things however I ask. She has done extras for me, like watering plants and bringing in mail I couldn’t stop — she always gives 100% effort and really likes my cats. Of course I tip her, but we do cash.

Can’t say enough good things about Laurie! Was very nervous about leaving my dogs, as they don’t get left very often and are crazy active little things, but Laurie is just a natural, and took such good care of my guys! They also got lots of practice behaving on leash walks and constant attention and play time. I won’t hesitate to book with Laurie again — and you shouldn’t, either!

House Sitting • nov. 18, 2025

Laurie was great with our new puppy and took him out every hour, as he is a 10 week old puppy in the middle of potty training. This was the first time we left him, and she made sure he was very well taken care of

A typical day

I’m sure your little guy or girl will enjoy long walks in the various parks in the Bedford area. My property also sits along beautiful dirt roads along horse trails which is always fun (I think the horses appreciate it too haha). Moreover, my house has plenty of room for your pup to roam around and play!
