Pet care experience

Pets are my passion.

When you are working long days, when your dog needs some extra exercise or your cat needs belly rubs … call me! My name is Laurie and I love all animals. I have been caring for pets for more than 10 years. I compete and train agility dogs and am use to dogs with high energy. I am a nurse and have taken classes in pet emergencies. I recently became certified in pet massage. I am dedicated, responsible and trustworthy. I love long walks, playing tug and just sitting and giving some love to my four legged friends. You will never have to worry about your babies, I will care for them as I love and care for my own.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Upon meeting with the pet parent, I will obtain information about each pet including, age, health history, medications, allergies, needs, likes and dislikes. I take all steps and precautions to keep the pet safe both inside and outside. I will keep distance from all other animals unless instructed by owner. I will leave the pet with fresh water, treats if allowed and a smile on their face.
