Pet care experience
Student | Pet Sitter | FR/ENG
Hi there! I am a Master’s student at Carleton University, and I love animals! I have experience as a receptionist at the Ottawa Animal Emergency and Specialty Hospital, where I was the first point of contact for clients and often had to quickly assess and handle animals of all kinds. In addition, I volunteered at the Feline Café Foundation in Ottawa from 2022 to 2024 where I ensured the safety and health of cats and contributed to fundraising campaigns. Taking care of cats, dogs - and exotic animals! - brings me a lot of joy so I never miss the opportunity to get to know new furry friends and give them all the attention and affection they deserve! Bonjour! Je suis étudiante à la maîtrise à l’Université Carleton, et j'adore les animaux! J’ai de l’expérience comme réceptionniste à l’Hôpital d’urgence et de spécialité pour animaux d’Ottawa, où j’étais le premier point de contact pour les clients et où je devais souvent évaluer rapidement et manipuler des animaux de toutes sortes. De plus, j’ai été bénévole à la Feline Café Foundation à Ottawa de 2022 à 2024 où j’ai assuré la sécurité et la santé des chats et contribué aux campagnes de financement. Prendre soin des chats, chiens - et animaux exotiques! - m’apporte beaucoip de joie donc je ne manque jamais l’occasion d’apprendre à connaître de nouveaux amis à fourrure et leur donner toute l’attention et l’affection qu’iels méritent

Safety, trust & environment
When taking care of a pet in their home, I respect boundaries and privacy. I make sure to ask all the necessary questions about your pet’s care and well-being. Having worked in an emergency veterinary hospital taught me the signs to watch out for and how to deal with accidents, diseases and other unfortunate situations. Lorsque je m’occupe d’un animal de compagnie dans son domicile, je respecte vos limites et votre vie privé. Je m’assure de poser toutes les questions nécessaires sur le soin et le bien-être de votre animal. Ayant travaillé dans un hôpital vétérinaire d’urgence m’a appris les signes à surveiller et comment gérer les accidents, les maladies et autres situations malheureuses.
Ratings and reviews
Laurie took excellent care of my cat while I was away. She was dependable, kind, and clearly cared about making sure my cat was comfortable and well looked after. She kept me informed throughout my trip, which I really appreciated. It was such a relief to come home to a happy cat. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Julia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Laurie has been a wonderful dog walker for my senior dog, Sophie! She is communicative, kind, patient, punctual, and closely follows all of my instructions for Sophie’s medications. Would highly recommend her! 😊
Laurie was great with Hazel!! Will definitely book her again in the future!
Rafa Was well cared for and happy when I returned! Thanks so much Laurie!
