I love animals and owned two very funny, wonderful dogs ~ Lucy a very sweet German Shepherd who weighs 110 lbs, and Bailey a rambunctious German Shepherd - Yellow Lab mix who weighs 85 lbs., and they brought a joy that is only describable to other pet lovers.

In addition to being an owner of pets, I also had five year's experience sitting for animals through a pet sitting business before I moved to Columbus in 2005.  What could make you happier then when your pets do something so funny it lifts your mood?

Once I moved to Columbus I knew that I wanted to get back into visiting pets as much as possible, and thought I could bring my love of pets to you.  I treat each pet with the respect and love they deserve.

Here are some comments and pictures from a few of my clients:

“Laurie has been my greyhound, Ivy’s, dog sitter for nearly three years.  She is very professional, reliable and has been flexible according to my schedule.  Her services have given me peace of mind knowing that Ivy is being well cared for in my absence.”

Laurie has been taking care of my cats, Ashley and Sterling, for almost two years while I am away on rather frequent trips that are both short and long.  I always have peace of mind that my cast (and my home!) are in safe hands with Laurie.  This is especially important to me because Ashley is 16 yrs old, very shy of strangers and doesn't like changes in her routine - but she and Laurie get along wonderfully.  Laurie is a five star pet sitter in my book!!

Laurie has cared for our cats for a couple of years now.  Cosmo & Frank have always written good reports about her care.  Cosmo says "there's always fresh food and water," and Frank says "she scoops the litter box every day."  Both Cosmo and Frank have noticed how happy we are when we return from a trip.  "We never have any worries when Jeff and Cheryl are away - Laurie takes good care of us and also takes good care of the house while they're gone."

My wife and I agree with Frank & Cosmo.  Laurie has always been very responsible.  She takes good care of both our cats and our house while we’re away and is very respectful of our property and our privacy.   She’s also very reliable, and I know she likes to spend time playing with them when she comes over.  Although I miss our kitties while we’re away, I never worry about whether they’re being taken care of.
