I Love cats!!!!🐈🐈‍⬛🐱

I have owned cats my whole life, and currently have 3. 2 rescues, and 1 pure bred maine coon. I understand their intricate personalities very well, each one of ours is very different. Prior to moving to Ocala, I spent over 20 years in CT. Volunteering for no kill shelters, and TNR programs for ferals.

Laurie did a fantastic job helping care for our diabetic cat! He needs insulin shots twice daily and we’re glad she was available to assist. He’s on a set schedule and she was punctual. In the photos she’d send of our cat during check-ins we could tell he was happy and healthy. Thanks so much Laurie! Would absolutely recommend her to anyone who has cats that need medication

Laurie was absolutely amazing with my dog, Lucca! She truly went above and beyond in every way. From the moment we connected, she was professional, attentive, and clearly passionate about caring for animals. She kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Lucca was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved his time with her. Laurie didn’t just meet expectations she exceeded them. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and dedicated dog sitter. She’s easily a 5-star experience!

Laurie was amazing!! She communicated so well and was wonderful to my 4 kitties. They rarely come out to greet strangers, but they loved her! I had a mix up with my days and Laurie was graciously able to accommodate my needs. I will definitely be using Laurie’s services in the future.

Schedule

I have time to spare as I’m semi retired. My routine varies so I’m typically available at all hours. I can be very flexible with my time.

Cats
Laurie can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your cat or dog has any specific dietary or medical needs. I can most likely accommodate! Injections, oral meds, special foods, etc.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
