Lifelong pet lover, home full-time!
Pet care experience
I’m Laurie, and I can’t wait to hang out with your pup/kitty! Pets have always been part of my life, and I know what an important part of the family they are. I grew up as the primary owner of my family’s Golden Retriever and now care for my own little senior Maltese, Alfie. I also have experience caring for others’ pets, including cat-sitting. I am home full-time and available for walks, drop-ins, and sittings every day of the week. I would love the opportunity to take your pet out in the park for some romping around and hanging out. As a dog owner myself, I know the importance of photo updates and will send them often! When I’m not hanging out with pets through Rover, I also volunteer with Animal Haven, an animal shelter downtown, and PAWS NY, which helps vulnerable NYC residents keep their pets by providing pet-care. I also enjoy vegan food, yoga, and scuba diving. I look forward to meeting your pet and spending time with them!
Reviews
Laurie did a fantastic job caring for my two cats while I was away on a trip. She was an excellent communicator through out the whole process and really listened to and understood all my care instructions. I came home to two happy and healthy kitties. I would definitely recommend Laurie to any cat owners!
Laurie is awesome! Though taking care of Dragon requires a lot of efforts including feeding, grooming, playing and adjusting the environment setup, Laurie took care of Dragon quite well and constantly posted pictures and text updates while I am on vacation. I would highly recommend Laurie and continue to book her for taking care of Dragon.
Laurie has been working with our puppy for the last four months, coming twice a day. She is extremely responsible and is always on time. Whenever there is a day she cannot work, she lets us know well in advance, which is much appreciated. Beyond that, Laurie genuinely cares about animals, and we know that our precious puppy is in good hands. My wife and I feel relieved to have someone like Laurie watch our animals when we are away. She is great with cats and dogs!
Laurie was excellent. We have two little dogs, and one is a very sensitive rescue. Laurie was very patient with him, and my other little dog loved her too. She handled their early wake ups, wrestling them into their onesies, and feeding schedule with no issue at all. She sent pictures and videos frequently and we felt comfortable with her right away. I highly recommend her for overnights and walks.

Information Laurie S. would like to know about your pet
I love all breeds of dog and cat but unfortunately cannot sit dogs of 100+ pounds because I want to ensure that I can safely handle your baby on walks! Before sitting your pet, I would like to know their usual bathroom and feeding routines, how much daily exercise they get, whether they have any medical conditions or behavioral quirks, and what their favorite games/toys are.
A typical day
I love dog walking through Riverside and Central Park and will find the nearest green space for your pet to enjoy! I played softball in college and have quite a good arm, perfect for playing long games of fetch with your pup!
