Highlights
Pet care experience
Our pets are family! WFH caretaker
🐾 ABOUT ME & MY HOME 🐾 I am a lifelong pet lover who was raised with dogs and lovingly cared for my own Australian Cattle Dog until 2023. Since she crossed the rainbow bridge, I’ve truly missed having a "furry coworker." I work from home full-time, so your pet will have constant companionship and a flexible schedule for mid-day play or potty breaks. I live with my 17-year-old daughter, and we are both comfortable with all dog breeds, sizes, and cats of any demeanor. 🏡 A HOME AWAY FROM HOME 🏡 My home is fully equipped to keep your pup happy and relaxed! To help with a smooth transition, I provide: 🧸 ENRICHMENT: A variety of cognitive toys and soothing toys to keep minds active and nerves calm. ☁️ COMFORT: Three cozy dog beds and two sets of dog stairs for easy access to furniture (if permitted). 💧 HYDRATION: Three dedicated water bowl stations throughout the home. 🔒 SAFETY & ROUTINE 🔒 I am a stickler for safety! I keep human foods out of reach and constantly scan for potential hazards. I also follow your specific home guidelines regarding furniture and routines to ensure consistency for your pet. ✈️ ADDITIONAL SERVICES ✈️ • Airport Shuttle: I offer a $50 total service to take you and your pup(s) to and from the airport. • Travel Fee: For drop-in requests more than 15 minutes away, there is an additional $2/min fee per visit.

Ratings and reviews
Laurie was absolutely amazing with our Jojo!. She was patient, kind, understanding and forgiving when our girl was anxious, grumpy and naughty. She did everything except maybe stand on her head to get Jojo's acceptance. I would definitely book with Laurie again and would recommend her with 5+ stars!!
Laurie P. always takes wonderful care of our pets! She communicates well and sends lots of pictures and videos. We know our pets are in greats hands when she’s taking care of them!
Laurie did a great job, was very attentive to my cats, and sent pictures every day! She even gave treats to my grumpy cat that hid the whole time.
Laurie did an excellent job taking care of our cat while we were away. Just before we left, we was prescribed some medication but even with that twist, Laurie handled it without any problems. She made sure to engage him in activity and puzzles with each visit and sent us great pictures/reels and excellent communications as well. Extra thanks for bringing in the Amazon deliveries! Very happy we had Laurie to help hold down the fort while we were away. Always great to be able to relax and know your fur-kid and home are in such good hands.
Laurie was so kind to our kitties. She visited for the entire 30 min and sent many photos and videos as well as a write-up summary of each visit. I highly recommend.
Laurie always does a great job for us. She did two pop in visits for our dogs while we were out of town for the day. Her communication is excellent and she sent us several pictures. We will continue to use her whenever we need someone to check on our fur babies.

Schedule
My home is my workspace, which means your pet becomes my 'department head' for the day! My schedule is highly flexible, allowing for consistent supervision, belly rubs, and potty breaks. Because I manage my own hours, I can easily pivot to handle midday visits or any unexpected needs that arise.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my top priority, and I maintain a 'pet-proofed' environment at all times. This means keeping all human foods and medications strictly out of reach and scanning for any 'mischief' opportunities before they happen. Whether in my home or yours, I do a daily sweep for hazards like open trash bins or a runaway sock.
A typical day
A typical day starts with a morning stretch and a potty break, followed by breakfast and some focused 'brain work' using snuffle mats or puzzles. Since I work from home, the day is peppered with interactive play—we might head outside for some high-energy fun with the flirt pole or a herding ball. I love leaning into whatever makes your pet goofy, whether that’s provoking a good case of the zoomies, happy hippy-hops or settling in for dedicated belly rubs and nose boops during my office breaks.
