Your Fur-baby's Favorite Auntie!
I consider myself a "mother of nature," because no matter what what kind of animal it is I am a natural at nurturing everything from fur-babies to feathered friends. I grew up with dogs, and I've always helped my disabled mom with her 4, now senior, dogs (two pitties, a rat terrier, and a chiweenie.) I love taking them on nature walks, and I even cook chicken or ground beef and rice for them, and use holistic remedies to keep them in top shape for their ages (15+). Animal rescue also comes naturally, because I feel humans are meant to be the keepers of the earth. Every night I feed a colony of stray cats and their neighbors (raccoons, opossums, and ducks.) 😁💖 It's a joy to me to help and have fun with cats and dogs, because I love animals. That's why I'm your fur-baby's favorite auntie!

Ratings and reviews
Laurinda is such a blessing to us! Our babies took to her immediately. Our dog Jax is very untrusting as he was rescued from an abusive situation. He accepted her right away. She is the only one we will ever book with.
Very quick about talking through any concerns! That is very appreciated ❤️
Laurinda was wonderful and so patient with my two cats. She was sitting with 2 dogs when we arrived. My cats not used to dogs and are both very shy. The dogs responded well to her command to stop barking. Taking the cats out of the cage was easily done by Laurinda. She sent me messages about my girls frequently. The got friendlier with each picture. They felt like they were at home when the last day came. I will use her again.
Laurinda did a great job and out dogs loved her
Laurinda was amazing! She worked with me even on short notice. She sent plenty of pictures (of stunning quality) and but both me and Mimi at ease.
Laurinda did wonderfully playing with our cats, feeding them, and monitoring their health while we were away!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Currently, I don't have any pets in my household, besides two cats that I allow in for feeding and sometimes sleeping at night or when the weather is bad. They usually prefers to be outside. I take my disabled mom's dogs out every evening, so it's like I have 3 dogs. Although, they don't live with me.
Pets
A typical day
The nearby park, trails in Cameron Park, the Brazos riverwalk, or around downtown, and Heritage Square are some of the places where dogs and I enjoy walking. I learn about your expectations and your your dog's fitness level. Based on that, I determine how long to walk, if we'll be taking frequent breaks, or if I'll be picking up the dog (smaller or senior dogs) periodically as we walk to prevent stress. I have special treats made with boiled chicken and rice or beef and rice. Most store bought treats have unhealthy additives, so I prefer to avoid them.
