Pet care experience

Trustworthy Dog & Cat Walking

I have had dogs and cats for 60 years! We are in between pets right now, but I am truly missing them! I just retired from running a children's camp that had many pets and a petting farm. We also had a kitten and puppy adoption a center I organized at the camp to help find local pets homes. I will put all my love into your pet and respect your wishes on how they like to be treated. Our walks will be full of fun and exercise! I generally walk 2 miles a day so I can walk your pet for as long as you like!

I can't say enough about Laurie's love for animals including dogs. I worked closely with Laurie for years. I saw he care for an elderly and sick dog. Her loving care probably extended his life beyond all expectations. I have known her to care for animals in the bitter cold making sure they were fed and protected from the elements. She has put the welfare of animals above her own personal comfort including dogs, alpaca, horses, pigs, cats, birds and other injured, hungry or cold animals. She is kind, loving and reliable. I would entrust her with any pet.

I would recommend Laurie “Jill” Laidlaw as an outstanding pet caregiver. She genuine love animals and animals love her. As a camp director for many years she hosted many cat and dog adopting programs. She made sure the animals were taken care of and followed any medication instructions perfectly. If you are looking for a trustworthy, loving, and highly professional sitter for your beloved pet, look no further than Laurie. She is simply the best!

Laurie is a very friendly caring person who has helped care for my pets many times in the past. I would not hesitate to use her service.

I have known Laurie "Jill" for over 18 years. She has a big heart. In her decades as a children's camp director she took in many puppies, kittens, goats, lambs, piglets and more in need of new homes and gave them a place in the camps petting area until they were adopted. Her own dogs always became the 'camp dog'. Whenever she comes for a visit she is so good with my crazy, hyper Jack Russell mix I wouldn't hesitate to let her care for, or walk her. Jill is honest and caring and conscientious. She will take good care of your dogs.

Laurie is excellent with dogs. She helped me train two dogs! She has always been a person who loves dogs and has also been a wonderful dog owner for many years. I recommend Laurie.
