🐾 Laurie’s Precious Pets
Experienced • Reliable • Rescue Background • Calm Care for Anxious Pets
Hi, I’m Laurie. I’ve been professionally pet sitting since 2020, originally building my business in Ohio before relocating to Valley View, Texas in 2024.
Over the last five years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, chickens, reptiles, birds, and small farm animals. I’m experienced with medication administration and detailed care routines.
Before launching my business, I volunteered for four years with a cat rescue where I fostered, medicated, socialized shy cats, and assisted with TNR efforts.
I specialize in:
• Senior pets
• Anxious or shy animals
• Multi-pet households
• Vacation coverage
• Recurring weekly visits
My goal is to provide calm, dependable care so you can travel or work worry-free.

Ms. Laurie has been an absolute joy. She took care of my babies as if they were her own, even making eggs for breakfast! She plays with them for hours and sends me the cutest pictures of the babies. I highly recommend her. 💛

Laurie has petsit for me twice. I have 4 dogs and 3 cats. They all love her and she does a great job taking care of them! I always feel confident leaving them in her hands and that they will be well cared for. She is dependable, responsive, sends plenty of photos/videos/communication. I also like that her pricing is very reasonable.
Details: Dog • 6 pets or more • Giving food and water • Taking pet outside • Providing companionship • Changing litter or bedding • Standard visit (60 minutes) • Three times a day • My home, venue, etc.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My costs, vary for cats vs.dogs, and number of animals. All charges start at $25, then depending on other factors, ie distance, animal breeds or size, etc. we will get your final cost. I typically add an extra $5 for gas, or extra animals, etc. I try to be fleet and fair.
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?
6 years dedicated to pet sitting. Otherwise no formal training. I am looking into different certifications, including life resuscitation for animals, but I haven't signed up for any yet.
