Experienced, reliable, retired!!!!!
Pet care experience
I come from a long background in animal care. Dogs in particular, but I have owned cats as well. I owned, trained, showed/competed, bred and raised Akitas for 23 years. I first started in Agility and Obedience, then moved onto Conformation and Breeding. I owned/operated a small hobby kennel by the name of Shobo Akitas. I owner trained and handled all of my dogs winning many titles in various competitions. I also handled various other breeds in the conformation ring including Australian Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers and Siberian Huskies. I have extensive experience with grooming, administering medication and shots, as well as emergency care. I retired from the Fire Department after 31 years service, have no animals and the time to take care of yours! As a FYI- I go back and forth (snowbird) between Milwaukee, WI ,<summer/fall> and Fort Myers, FL <winter/spring> Exact times vary, but it's 'usually' May-Dec WI/Dec-May FL. (I'll be back in MKE 5/5/2024) I have clients in both locations. PLEASE BE ADVISED- I DO NOT PROVIDE CONSTANT CARE. I live out of your home, I come and go as my own, I sleep there. If your looking for someone who will be at your home all day or only leave for brief periods of time (all considered constant care), I do not provide those services. If an overnight street parking permit is required, there is an additional fee you will be charged depending on city requirements. Thank you :-)
Reviews
This was our second booking with Laurie and we couldn’t be happier with her care and updates. Highly reccomend!
My husband and I are incredibly grateful to have found Laurie! If we could give 10 stars we would! She was able to take care of our very new rescue Boston Terrier and our 9 year old cat. She was amazing with managing their personalities and also helped continue and better our existing training. Laurie was also fantastic at providing updates and photos so we never worried about a thing while we were away. We highly recommend Laurie!
Laurie is the most competent and responsible pet sitter I've ever had - I wish she could be cloned! You can leave your pets with her and not give it another thought as she will take the best care of them.
Loving, caring, strong. First time I’ve left my 6year old golden with someone other than family. Took many pictures and sent to me. Trustworthy. Would definitely recommend and have her again! Kathy

Safety, trust & environment
I don't board, but I take care of your pets in your home as close to their normal schedule/routine as possible. Their safety and comfort is my #1 priority!!!
Information Laurie P. would like to know about your pet
No breed preference. I am strong and experienced enough to handle any size. I would like to met any dog I am caring for prior. I would like to know the dogs schedule because I know how disruptive and stressful any change of that can be for them. My goal is to keep them as stress free and happy as possible while owners are away.
A typical day
I will walk your dog where you prefer and are comfortable with. However, I will not transport a dog that is not crated (would have to fit in my car) UNLESS it is an emergency.
Services
Laurie can watch in your home
Availability
I am retired and have no animals of my own, so I have the time to devote to yours. I do however come and go when house sitting, so if you need constant care, I am unable to accommodate that.
