About US

Hi, I’m Laurie founder, lifelong dog lover, and the heart behind Camp Captain. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by golden retrievers, poodles, and lovable mutts, and I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like.

My beloved Havanese, Bronx, was by my side for 14 wonderful years before crossing the rainbow bridge in 2024. Today, I share my home with Captain, a senior rescue golden retriever who’s been part of my life for the past four years. He’s not just my dog, he’s the inspiration for Captain’s Crew, a nonprofit I founded to support pet owners who need financial help with emergency care for their pet.

There’s nothing that brings me more joy than ending my day surrounded by happy, healthy, and tired dogs. Whether they're here for the day or spending the night, every pup is treated like family.

For those who have loved and lost a furry friend, I’ve created a special place called Bronx’s Rainbow Bridge Community Garden at my home. Guests are welcome to decorate a rock in their pet’s honor as a small but meaningful way to celebrate their memory.

Camp Captain is not just a side hustle, it is my attempt at building a life surrounded by the best things on this planet - dogs!

I hope to meet you and your pups soon!

  • This was my boys 4th or 5th stay with Laurie. We are so lucky to have found her and the love and care she gives my dogs is the best feeling when you are leaving them in someone else's care.

    Jenna H.

  • This was our first time using a dog sitter for our pup and Laurie put us very much at ease. She sent texts and pictures everyday describing their activities. She was always very responsive to our texts. We would definitely recommend her!
