About

Did you know the average doggie daycare fee is $37.50 in the Charlotte metro area and overnight boarding is about $60? That’s almost $100 per day! Please consider me as your pet and/or house sitter. I’ve owned 3 homes, raised 2 girls as a single mom, 3 dogs and 3 cats. I recently retired so can spend 24/7 with your fur babies. I have extensive experience in dealing with pets that are old, sick and otherwise challenged. I am happy to sit, walk, watch & care for them any day or night for an extended period of time. I’ve been pet and house sitting for 15 years and would love to assist you while you’re traveling!

Laurie has been great to work with. She watched my dog and two cats a few times now. She has been very responsive and flexible with me. She has even been kind enough to bring her own dog to play with my golden Beau because he really loves playdates. The like her as well. I can tell because when I get home from a trip they are happy and relaxed.

This was our first time leaving our dog at home. She is elderly and not in the best physical shape. Laura did a great job with giving her meds and making me feel less worried. She sent pictures all weekend!

Laurie did an excellent job with my two dogs. She spent extra time hanging out with my dogs and was great at communicating with me. I will be hiring her again.

Laurie watched our dogs and house for a week. She was absolutely wonderful! Our dogs loved her so much. Her communication was excellent and she sent us pictures and updates daily. We are looking forward to having Laurie watch our house/pets during our next trip this summer!
