Introduction

Hi! I’m Laurie! I started my Laurie’s Precious Pets business in Lebanon Ohio, in the fall of 2020. I moved to Sanger, TX on Nov 1st, to be closer to my daughter. My business in Lebanon went well. I had many repeat customers and I can provide references on request. I’ve had cats &/or dogs or watched my friends, all my life. I volunteered at a cat rescue off/on for 4yrs (2017-2021) I fostered, medicated, fed, cleaned & socialized cats/kittens. I also helped with TNR (trapped, neutered & returned), by doing the trapping and return. I’ve had many customers over the last 4yrs with dogs, cats, chickens, geckos, lizards, horses and birds. I’m willing to sit with just about any animal, if I’m shown what to do!

Laurie was fantastic with my three cats while I was away for 15 days! Here's what stood out: * Reliable and Trustworthy: Laurie was punctual and responsible, providing excellent care for my cats. * Great Communication: She sent me regular updates and photos, which reassured me that my cats were happy and healthy. * Experienced with Cats: Laurie's knowledge and understanding of cat behavior were evident in her interactions with my furry friends. * Peace of Mind: Knowing my cats were in such capable hands allowed me to relax and enjoy my trip. I highly recommend Laurie to anyone in need of a caring and dependable pet sitter. I'll definitely be booking her services again!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have multiple baseline costs, they vary a bit for cats vs.dogs. Drop ins starting at Cats $15, Dogs $20 Overnights starting at Cats $60, Dogs $75 24x7 Overnights starting at Cats $75, Dogs $100 $100-$120 Depending on # & type of pets. Additional $5 for gas, if necessary, each round trip All starting prices will go up based on the level of effort(distance &/or time on the job).
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
They reach out to me, I respond & we ask & answer questions, usually through the app or text, then I provide them with a quote. If everything is satisfactory, we schedule a meet & greet so we can meet in person, including the animals.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
No animal specific training other than hands on while pet sitting. I am looking into different certifications, including life resuscitation for animals, but I haven't signed up for any yet.
