Single, retired female that loves travel & has been house-pet sitting for the last 6yrs, mainly on the Mid North Coast of NSW. The last 2 years Nowra, Bronte, Long Jetty, Wangi Wangi, Harrington, Charlestown,Bonville, Bonny Hills, Port Macquarie, etc.
Non-smoker.
Use only environmentally -friendly products (chemical free when possible) for myself & for any pets I care for with owner’s consent.
Happy to care for owner’s gardens, pools (I’ve done numerous house-sits where I’ve maintained the pool during entire sit).
I’ve really enjoyed pet-sitting & have decided to venture further afield & combine travel & house/pet sitting for longer periods of time.
I’ve cared for cats,tabbies & a Siamese and currently 2 Ragdoll cats, Burmese and Persian breeds.
Mainly pet-sat dogs,Maltese terriers/Shih Tsu,Whippet,GreyHounds(rescue dogs) Bull Mastiff, Caboodle, King Charles Cavalier, Cocker Spaniel, Rottweiler/Staffi, Blue Heeler, Pomeranian, some of the breeds so far?
I enjoy gardening,reading,listening to music,watching a good movie or documentary.
I’ve lived in Sydney,Newcastle,South West Rocks & more recently Melbourne for 14yrs & have relocated back to the Mid North Coast now.
Looking forward to doing many more house & pet sits & meeting new people & exploring new places/surrounds.?

In addition to Mindahome stays I’ve also done several long-stay house sits, the latest was for 6mths in 2021 at Lighthouse beach,(Port Macquarie), NSW and also Port Macquarie general area now frequently.
Just completed 3mth sit in Harrington (return sit).

“Laurie was an excellent home sitter. I can absolutely recommend her to look after your place and animals. She kept in touch with us regularly and communication with her is delightful and very easy. The cats were very well looked after and you could see they really bonded with her. Laurie is extremely professional and trustworthy. We are happy to say we were very fortunate to have chosen her and for Laurie to have accepted to take on the task. Thank you so very much for all your care. We certainly will ask her again next year.”

Thankyou Jacqueline and Nitya. I loved my time in your beautiful home and enjoyed getting to know the personalities of each cat, very entertaining! Communication via Signal was fantastic. I’m looking forward to the possibility of a return sit for you. Laurie 😁🌸

“This was the second time that Laurie has looked after our home for a long period of time. The first for 8 weeks and the second for around 12 weeks. (this sit). She looked after the house very well, and also planted many flowers and vegetables to help us with an upcoming event. She maintained our swimming pool and garden (mowing lawns) and kept everything under control. We were happy with having her look after the house and if it fits, would use her again. Thanks Laurie.”

Thanks Phil, I loved being back in your beautiful home and the Harrington area. Starting the flowers from seed was really interesting and enjoyable and Bunnings garden centre for the vegetable seedlings was enjoyable too. Swimming the last month helped with my Osteoarthritis and water is my preferred medium for physical therapy. I’d love to come back again if dates align. You & Anna are great to communicate with. 🙏🌸

“It was a pleasure having Laurie looking after our house and our dog (Frankie). When we returned it was clear to see Frankie had been well looked after. It was so nice to come back to a spotless house and the lawns mowed. Our neighbours also commented what a great neighbour Laurie was. This was our first experience with a house sitter and Laurie ticked all the boxes. We would not hesitate to recommend her to other people looking for a house sitter. Thank you Laurie! ”

Thank you Rob, I thoroughly enjoyed my 2mth sit in your lovely home with sweet Frankie whilst you were overseas. Being able to take Frankie to her walks in your vehicle was a bonus, there were several comments from people about the window in the canopy where Frankie had her head out living her best life! North Haven was our favourite spot to walk. I loved the vegetable garden and kicking the mangled soccer balls for Frankie in the backyard, she has serious skills! Rob & Robyn were easy to communicate with throughout the sit. A burst water pipe had to be replaced and they were happy for me to organise this with their plumber. I’d love to do any future sits for them with Frankie.
