About Laurie

With over 6 years of experience in veterinary medicine, I bring a depth of knowledge and expertise that is uncommon in the pet sitting world. My background has equipped me with the skills necessary to manage a wide range of medical situations, ensuring that your pet will be in safe hands, even in the face of unexpected health issues. I am well-versed in administering medications, recognizing signs of distress or illness early, and taking appropriate actions to address these concerns promptly.

Beyond my medical skills, my experience has taught me that every animal has its unique personality and needs. This insight allows me to adapt my approach to best suit the individual pet, whether they require extra patience, energy, or gentle care. Understanding and respecting these differences is crucial for creating a comfortable and stress-free environment for your pets while you are away.

I also recognize the importance of trust and compatibility in a pet sitter relationship. It's not just about ensuring the physical well-being of your pets but also about providing them with the care, love, and attention they deserve in your absence. I am committed to building a connection with each pet I care for, making sure they feel secure, loved, and engaged. 

Choosing the right pet sitter is a significant decision. With my professional background in veterinary medicine and a deep understanding of animal care, I am confident in my ability to provide the highest level of service. Let me offer you the peace of mind that comes from knowing your beloved pets are in capable and compassionate hands.
