Introduction
I take care of your best friends and your home like you best friend would! I am conscientious, dependable, and will care for your home and your pets just as I would as if they were my own. With so many years of experience, there is no need to worry, because you can trust that your home will be secure, and I will do my best to make your pets feel safe, secure and well-loved in your absence. My Experience I have always loved animals, even as a child. I grew up with pets, worked for a veterinarian while in high school, and started house sitting in college, which often included caring for the owner's pets. I telecommute, so most locations will be considered, as long as reliable high-speed internet service would be available. I have cared for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, birds, hamsters, sugar gliders--always willing to expand my repertoire! Realistically, I can't have all the animals I wish to, so pet sitting gives me the opportunity to "foster" many. I also have the satisfaction of knowing that I am giving pet owners peace of mind, knowing that their pets will be safe and happy while in my care (without breaking their vacation budget -- please see my rates below). Don't just take my word for it--please read the reviews from some of my previous customers. My Rates For "drop-in" visits or dog-walks : - Base fee: $12 per 30-minute in home visit or 20-minute dog walk (includes feeding and exercise/playtime) for a single pet - additional $2 fee for 2nd dog, $1 each for 3 any additional (smaller pets determined on case by case basis) For In-home sitting (housesit/petsit): **NOTE: I telework, so my range of location is very flexible for this option, as long as reliable internet connectivity is available.** - Base fee is $25 (no pets) or $30 per day ( pet care included) - additional $2 for 2nd dog, $1 each for any additional dogs (smaller pets determined on case by case basis, based on number and type) **Note: Depending on distance to your home, there may be a small travel surcharge per house sitting bookings)

As soon as I met Laurie I knew she could be trusted and truly loves animals. We moved here 3 years ago and I have not been able find someone who I felt was truly responsible. She stayed in my home and sent me updates and pictures daily. I would highly recommend her if you need a pet sitter. I feel like I have some freedom back.

Thank you for your vote of confidence, Lisa! So glad for the opportunity to meet you and your fur babies, and thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with them! I look forward to spending more time with everyone again in the near future! Regards, Laurie

We used Laurie for the first time, and what a wonderful experience. I actually think my dog missed her after she left. Both my cat and dog seemed so content when I arrived back home. I have a dog that sheds terrible and she spent time brushing her, what a nice surprise. She looked like a different dog. My house was spotless, Laurie responded quickly to all my text messages or phone calls. She sent pictures of the pets so I would not miss them! I will use her again!
