Introduction: **PLEASE NOTE: Short "drop-in" visit/dog-walk services only available to pet owners within a short drive of my home in Rock Hill, S.C. Only in-home extended stay sitting services are offered for pet owners beyond that area.** Your home and/or pets are in great hands with me! 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: $10 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 travel time to your home, there may be a small travel surcharge per stay)

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!

Details: Dog • 3 pets • Giving food and water • Taking pet outside • Providing companionship • Changing litter or bedding • Providing exercise • Overnight visit (10-12 hours) • Once a day • My home, venue, etc.

Being the first time we left our pup with a sitter, Laurie was very understanding and reassuring regarding the process. She fully explained how she operated and invited us to come over to tour her home. I especially liked that she generally takes care of one pet at a time. She was flexible regarding our drop off and picking up of our dog. She sent daily pics and texts letting us know what they were up to and how our pup was doing. We would highly recommend Laurie and certainly plan to use her again the next time we travel.

Details: 1 dog • Extra Small (1 - 15 lbs) • Recurring - once a week

Laurie was excellent. She sent us pictures of our pets through the week we were away and stayed in contact to let us know they were well. It really took a lot of worry off of us. Thanks you so much!

Laurie is amazing! I have a dog that is very timid and anxious and so keeping her in her own environment seemed much better than kenneling her. Laurie was a perfect fit for us and our dog warmed up to her quickly. We also have cats and a guinea pig and Laurie was great with our pets' weird dynamic. She communicated daily via text and even sent pictures (which of course made my heart melt and helped me be much more comfortable while away!). I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Laurie for taking care of our beloved furrbabies!!! We'll see you next vacation!

Details: Dog • 4 pets • Taking pet outside • Changing litter or bedding • Giving food and water • Providing exercise • Collect mail • Standard visit (60 minutes) • Two times a day • The pet sitter travels to me
