About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 11 years and truly enjoy spending time with them. I was a registered Persian cat breeder, so I’ve cared for everything from newborn kittens to senior cats and those needing extra attention. I have experience giving medications, caring for sick and recovering cats, and have even successfully performed CPR during an emergency. I know every cat has a different personality, so I take the time to earn their trust and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll treat your cats like they’re my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind.

“She did an amazing job with all my animals. She was there on time to check up on them and followed all instructions for them. The pictures sent and communication was spot on. My cats can be very skittish around new people but they took to her well. I will definitely be using her again and will be one of my first to call when I need a sitter or a dog walker.”

“Taylor was great. She was very caring and patient towards Jordy. It was his first time away from home. She did everything she could to make him feel comfortable and taken care of. Taylor kept me updated and made herself available. We appreciated her and recommend her. Thank you !!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve spent over 15 years caring for pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I have experience with puppies, seniors, special needs pets, medications, and pets who need extra patience and attention. I have also successfully performed CPR in emergency situations. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for like they are my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and personality so I can provide the best care possible, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am used to planning my day around the needs of animals, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication, playtime, and providing companionship. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, patience, and care throughout the day. Whether it’s checking in on a pet, taking them for walks, or spending quality time with them, I enjoy making animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I provide pet care based on each animal’s individual needs, routine, and personality. In my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment where pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to maintain the pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special care needs. I believe keeping pets comfortable in their familiar routine helps reduce stress and allows them to feel secure while their owners are away.

“Laurel took great care of our senior yorkie. He can't see or hear so great any longer and just wants to sleep all day. She was very patient and able to get him to take walks with her. She kept us updated through pictures and texts which helped us enjoy our day away more. Bentley slept so much better after spending time with Laurel. We will definitely use her services any time we need to leave Bentley home in the future.”

About: I have positive reinforcement training experience with dogs. I am familiar with all sizes of dogs and tools used to safely walk them. As an alumni of the Animal Behaviour College I will strive to uphold all that theu taught me. I currently have 2 dogs and cats of my own and understand the challenges of getting pets enough exercise. Prior to moving I had regular pet sitting clients that had dogs, cats and exotics. If a simple walk won't cut it for your dog there is the cycle leash option that I have for a bicycle. If you dogs prefers to do long sniffing sessions there is the 20 foot leash option. I also understand that some dogs are reactive to other dogs or pets; with this in mind I will keep a safe, below threshold distance for your pet.
