Laurie has been in the animal care field for 20 years. She joined the Pet's Friend staff in July of 2002. Laurie enjoys the flexible nature of the job from answering phones, greeting clients (the two and four legged) or just lending a hand where ever it's needed.

In her off time, Laurie enjoys motorcycle riding, baking, photography, and travel. Laurie has three dogs, Mallory, Fargo, and Rhett. Mallory was rescued from a dumpster at five weeks old and has always been a special girl. She also has a large family of cats.
