About Us

Mama Laurie's Pet Sitting was founded by Laurie Hawkins out of a desire to find a safe and comfortable place for her own pets to stay while she was out of town traveling for business or vacationing. 

Laurie's dog came from the Franklin County Dog Shelter and her cat from Cat Welfare. Given her pets' backgrounds, her heart would always lead her to try to keep her pets in their own home environment. 

Looking for a solution to making sure her pets were happy and well cared for while she and her husband were away made her realize that other pet owners most likely face the same challenges. Laurie decided to put her lifelong love for animals into a service to help others feel confident that their pets will be content and well cared for in the comfort of their own homes while their owners are away.
