Experienced, reliable, clean sitter

49, Access Bars/Reiki Practitioner

Hello!

My name is Laurie and I am American (although I have not lived in America for a couple of years). I have come to the UK every year since 2015. I enjoy experiencing different areas of the UK each year through pet-sitting. I have a lot of flexibility in terms of location and dates.

I have done extensive housesitting in past years, mostly for dogs and cats, birds (African Grey parrot, ducks, chickens) and horses in America (2007-2017) and more recently in Australia (2019-2024) and the UK (2019-present). I also volunteered at a dog rescue shelter in Thailand in 2018. I grew up having rabbits, guinea pigs, hampsters and an assortment of fish and reptiles as pets, and then dogs when I was older. I love animals, talking to them, playing with them if they enjoy it, snuggling, or just allowing them space to be themselves.

I love many sorts of fitness (running, swimming, hiking, cycling, yoga), being around nature and clean living.

I can provide local (or American or Australian) references, if required.

I do not have a car, so ideally your home would be within walking distance (@5km) to a supermarket.

Thank you for checking out my profile, and if you think I'd be a good match for caring for your home and pet(s), I look forward to connecting with you!

Laurie was absolutely wonderful - caring and thorough asking lots of questions about Frankie's needs and preferences. It is obvious she loves animals and has a calming, caring personality. During her house sit she updated me with photos and reports of Frankie's activities. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone. I returned to a contented and happy dog and a well looked after home too. All in all a brilliant caring, diligent and professional sitter. Thankyou Laurie!

Laurie is a lovely lady. She stayed just over a week and kept my house immaculate. The pets adored her and I could tell enjoyed her company. She kept in touch both before and during her visit and I believe enjoyed her stay in Hawkhurst. I felt totally relaxed leaving her in charge and wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to look after your home etc.
 
KIM (Hawkhurst England, Oct 2024 - 1 week 3 nights)
Laurie was great - she instantly connected with our dog, Bruno and really cared for him while we were away. She communicated via What's App when it was needed and responded to any messages we sent really quickly. She took really good care of our home too - watering plants and everything lovely and clean when we got home. I would definitely recommend Laurie.
 
AINE (Reigate RH2 , Aug 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
I would recommend Laurie as a house sitter without hesitation. Laurie looked after our home and cat beautifully allowing us to relax and enjoy our holiday. We had just the right amount of communication with Laurie and when we arrived home the house was spotless. Thank you Laurie, looking forward to you visiting us again.

Laurie is a lovely house sitter. She is pleasant, calm, kind and reliable. She took the time to play with my kitten and connected with the older cats. The house was left neat and tidy. You'll be very happy if you secure her help.

Laurie was easy to communicate with and was lovely to meet. Our home was clean and well taken care of and most importantly the fur babies were happy and healthy on our return.
