Your Fur-baby's Favorite Auntie!
Pet care experience
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!
Reviews
Laurinda was friendly, detailed and professional. She checked in each day and sent multiple photos which I appreciated. She truly loves animals and is great at what she does. Would def use her again and would recommend her. Thanks Again Laurinda!
Laurinda was amazing with our cocker. Moxci was happy and well cared for. She attended to all of his needs and made sure he was safe and secure. We highly recommend Laurinda.
Laurinda gave such a professional experience. Always sent pictures of my dog and made me feel like she was truly taken care of. She is the only pet sitter that I will ever use.
Thank you Laurinda for taking care over our sweet Silo. She loves you! She will be back for sure :)

Safety, trust & environment
Currently, I don't have any pets in my household, besides a stray cat that I allow in for feeding and sleeping at night or when the weather is bad. She usually prefers to be outside. I take my disabled mom's dogs out every evening, so it's like I have 4 dogs. Although, they don't live with me.

Information Laurinda J. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of. I'd like to make special accommodations or meet preferences and your dogs specific needs.
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.
