Pet care experience

Happy to walk dogs in any weather!

I am a backcountry guide and a lifelong athlete who is happiest outdoors-- especially with a dog. I am also a mom who knows how to love on our furry family members. I want pets to feel safe and adored. It is my pleasure to help dogs get the exercise, fresh air, and stimulation that they need. People describe me as dependable, respectful, and communicative. Your dog will be cared for as my own. I do have a dog, but will leave her at home to give yours all the attention. Message me to set up a one-time walk or regular outings, and let me know what you need. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!

I primarily provide dog walking, however I have some availability for dog sitting in your home if your dog can be left alone at night after a bedtime visit and before an early morning bathroom break/feeding.

Laurie is fantastic and I enthusiastically recommend her care. She was able to fit my dogs in for daily walks as I was recovering from surgery, keeping all of us happier! She met my 2 very different dogs where they are as beings and gave them both affection and safety, which is especially important for my deaf dog. I trust her completely. Laurie is not only very skilled with dogs, but she is also an all around wonderful human being. We all 3 highly recommend her!

This was my first time booking with Laurie. I was honestly SUPER nervous and right away her communication style put me at ease. She was responsive, warm and my dogs were very well taken care of and very happy after I picked them up from their walk

Laurie was great with my dog Osa! She was very communicative and attentive to Osa during their walks. Osa loved her and was very excited to see her every day!

Was a life saver helping with my Chaco since I work remote and couldn’t take him walking as much as he wanted all day!
