Pet Lover wants to Love your pets!

I am a 63 year old cancer survivor who is now disabled! I would love to babysit your pets for you in your home! Anytime! I have 2 dogs & 5 cats I now pet sit for. I am a true animal lover. I have 3 cats at home whom I love very much! This would be the perfect job for me. Although, I don't think of petsitting as a job. I would love to play with or walk your dogs for you. I would treat your pets with as much love as you do! Have been pet sitting for 4 years. I like to play with the dogs, take them for walks. Size or breed doesn't matter. All dogs are welcome! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover for 25 years. I have had several (4) dogs in my life. The first was a german shepherd hybrid with wolf. She was beautiful! My husband had a little terrier mix who stayed in the house. We also had a black lab & a mutt named July. If I could have a dog now, I would; but I don't have a fenced-in yard. I really don't want to leave a dog on a chain all the time. My experience administering medication I can administer oral meds.

Laurie showed up on time to let our dogs out and we paid for an hour stay and she stayed the hour. Laurie is dependable.

We loved having Laurie watch our pets! It was so nice to have her stay in our home and not have to add stress to our pets by having them out of their comfort zone. Laurie took great care our babies and sent us pics daily. She was a great house guest as well. Highly recommend Laurie and will definitely use her again!

Laurie is very neat, honest, and trustworthy. The animals are well kept and safe at all times. She's terrific with all. I have a dog, cat, turtle and a frog that appreciate her love and care.

Laurie has been watching my dog for 2+ years now from 1 day to a week. She is extremely trustworthy and reliable. She has taken taken of everything from fish, frogs, dogs and a cat without a single problem. When staying overnight, everything is kept neat and in perfect order. You can be assured that your pet is well taken care of.

Laurie has watched my dog Marlie a few times and has done wonderfully each time. She even was willing to stay at our home while we went on our honeymoon for a week and watch him (along with out three cats!). She is very responsible and great with the pets.

I don't have any breed preferences. I would like to know if the dog is friendly, loving, likes to play. Is it house trained? Does it have a problem with strangers?
