Safe, loving care for your pets!

Pet care experience

Pets are blessings! They provide unconditional love and teach us invaluable lessons if we pay attention. I can't imagine a life without our pets! I'm sure you feel the same about your furry, feathered, and scaled family members. I'm very picky about the care our pets receive and will treat your babies as if they're my own. Services are provided in the comfort and safety of your home where every effort is made to maintain your pet's routine and feeling of security. I have over 40 years of experience owning dogs and about 15 years owning cats. Maine Coons are my favorite. I currently have four dogs - a 4-year-old male and a 3-1/2 year-old female German Shepherd Dog, and two senior dogs - a 12-year-old American Bulldog/Boxer mix, and an 10-year-old Pitbull. In addition to my current dogs listed above, I have owned Beagles, Boxers, Black Labs, a Norwegian Elkhound, and a Soft-coated Wheaten Terrier. I have also owned small pets, including parakeets and lovebirds, rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, Guinea pigs, and snakes. I also have experience providing pet care services for Pugs, a Huskey, a Staffordshire Terrier, and a German Shepherd. Last year my husband and I successfully helped an Australian Shepherd that was stolen from Texas and taken to Tamaqua get reunited with his owners in Texas. We picked up the pup in Tamaqua (with the support of Tamaqua police) and provided transport to Lebanon where we transferred him to the person transporting him back to Texas. Thankfully, he arrived home safely. I'm available 7 days a week from 6:00 am to 9:00 pm (start of visit) beginning Saturday, February 8th. Until then, I'm available on week days from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm and 6:00 am to 9:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday for drop-in pet sitting and dog walking. Whether your dog enjoys high-energy walks, leisurely walks, hanging out in your yard, or cuddling on the sofa, I would love to provide undivided attention and love while you're away. I'll focus on your pets during our time together, giving them my undivided attention, lots of love, and assuring their safety. I will play with your pets and engage their favorite activities such as fetch, tuggy, or something else. If you have senior dogs who can't go on walks, I'll let them out in the yard and play with them. For your dog's safety, I don't walk multiple dogs at the same time, unless they are from the same household. I also won't take your fur baby to dog parks or allow them to interact with other dogs, since these things can result in fights and transmission of disease. I look forward to providing fun and exercise for your fur babies!

If you want your dog in good hands while your not home, Laurie is the person you want! Not only does she take time to train with animals, she’s always taking them for walks, talking to them, giving them muscle rubs. She has dogs of her own so she’s very much a dog lover. Laurie is also super easy to talk with and very friendly. I cannot day enough positive things about her! My dog Lyla just loves her and so do I! You’ll be so happy to know your dog is with the best!

Laurie is one of the most knowledgable and caring dog owners I know. She takes phenomenal care of her dogs and there is no doubt that they are a part of her family. Anyone who has Laurie watching his or her dogs is truly fortunate; she is compassionate and understanding. I recommend her and would love to have her watch my fur babies!

Laurie loves dogs! She has trained her own very well behaved pups. Laurie knows and can use many training methods. I trust Laurie and I know you and your dog will too.

Information Laurie M. would like to know about your pet

I love all breeds and don't have any preferences. There is no such thing as an aggressive breed. It's important for me to know the following before I provide services: Does your dog have any aggression or leash reactivity issues? If so, in what situations? How do you handle these issues? Has your dog ever bitten anyone? Has your dog had basic obedience training? Does your dog walk appropriately on a leash? If not, are you open to training your dog to walk appropriately on a leash? Is your dog up-to-date on vaccines? Who is your vet?

A typical day

We will go on walks around your neighborhood. If you have a dog that can't go on walks due to age or medical conditions, we will engage in other play activities that provide mental and physical stimulation and enjoyment for your dog(s).
