Highlights
Pet care experience
Specializing in ALL Temperaments
*I am bonded & insured* with extensive experience with all temperaments, breeds, and sizes! I specialize in troublesome behaviors and special needs pets! Do not worry about your pup misbehaving on a walk they are in good hands! Available hours: Sun Mon Tues all day 0500-2359 Wed-Sat 0530-1400 Unavailable: Wed-Sat 2pm-Midnight For mine and your pups safety I carry an air horn to scare off any potential off leash animal approach. In an emergency I do carry pepper spray. The leash will always be securely connected to my belt. I will always distance myself from other animals and pedestrians if at all possible. I have Nutri Bite freeze dried treats available; salmon, beef liver, or chicken. For kitty drop ins I also have a laser pointer to accompany those freeze dried salmon and chicken treats! **My dog does not come with me to Rover walks**Recently I have become heavily involved in learning behavior modification and task training as I have a professionally trained medical alert German Shepherd who joins me at work. I participated thoroughly in his curriculums. Lazlo is the newest of a long line of working dogs I have owned. He is the first I have progressed all the way through task training and public access. I also have a large amount of experience with non-venomous snakes, other reptiles, birds of all sizes, and small mammals such as ferrets guinea pigs and hamsters.

Safety, trust & environment
I am self insured and bonded for your peace of mind. Whether it is walking a pet in public or a drop in I always prioritize safety and security as number one. I make sure when entering other people’s homes to keep as clean and least impactful as possible. I carry shoe coverings on days I’m booted up, I always remove my shoes when entering a home. Any waste generated will be disposed of of appropriately. I always verify multiple times your home is locked when I leave and the pets have been put where they are supposed to be whether that be a special room, crate, or free roam.
Ratings and reviews
My fur babies loved Laurie. Exceptional care, attentive to their needs and personalities, and very communicative. Will rebook!
Laurie was an amazing cat sitter for our two furballs. It was a bit short notice of a request, but she was able to easily handle drop-in visits, including managing two litter boxes while we were transitioning between litter systems. Great communicator and would definitely reach out again!
Laurie was great. I felt really good about leaving my cats in her care. She's great at communicating and handling the requests asked if her. I didn't have any worries about being away from my fur babies for so long. They were in great hands!
second time booking with laurie - my kitties just love her ❤️❤️ i don’t have anything to worry about anything when she takes care of them!
Laurie J is wonderful! She definitely has experience with reactive dogs and obedience training/corrections. She worked patiently with Walter to ensure they were both comfortable. I appreciate the extra care and consideration. Thank you for your time!
Laurie was the perfect walker for our 1 yr old wild puppy, Mizu. Our girl is a 60 lb ball of energy that is shy with new people and pulls like crazy while walking. While we were on vacation, Laurie spent a week getting Mizu on board with the walks, trying new techniques to control her pulling, and giving her much needed exercise. Mizu now looks expectingly waiting for Laurie to arrive.

Schedule
I do work full time and this is my passion project! I work nights Wed-Sat 8pm-5am. I generally choose my walks and drop ins around my sleep schedule wherever requests may land that week ! My daylight schedule is extremely flexible and I can usually accommodate same day emergencies if needed.
