About
Did you know the average pet daycare fee is $42 in the Charlotte metro area and overnight boarding is about $65? That’s over $100 per day, per pet. 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!

I was very happy with the cat sitting service that Laurie provided for my 3 cats while we were out of town for a few days. I did not worry one bit about them and it allowed me to enjoy my vacation.

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.

Details: Dog • 3 pets • Taking pet outside • Giving food and water • Short visit (30 minutes) • Two times a day • My home, venue, etc.

I really enjoyed having her come take care of our 3 fur babies. She stayed with them for playtime outside, cleaned up pee pads and replaced, leaving the house in great shape. She fed them, as well and made sure they all had plenty to eat. She communicated with us daily and even sent pictures! A definite plus!!! We have already booked her for Thanksgiving weekend and the week after Christmas. We will use her in the future, as well!

Details: Dog • 3 pets • Giving food and water • Short visit (30 minutes) • Once a day • My home, venue, etc.

We just got home from the beach and I don’t think our 2 dachshunds even missed us. Laurie took great care and kept us updated with pictures and reports. You can tell she loves animals and we hope to use her many more times.
