Following a successful career in the pharmaceutical industry, Laurie took the leap to pursue her passion for working with animals and founded Lucky Dog Resort.

Lucky Dog Resort is the culmination of a childhood dream, decades of business experience, and the call of the wild. Laurie has spent a lifetime caring for animals. As a pet parent herself, Laurie and her husband have two Dogs, a horse, a parakeet… and a teenage son. She has extensive training and experience in animal care and is active with organizations whose missions are to provide education and training for caregivers, as well as advocacy for animals.

Dedicating her life to providing wonderful experiences for her doggy clients, their parents, and her team, Laurie has won awards such as Business Person of the Year, Alignable; Top Doggy Daycares in America, Pet News Daily; and Best Pet Care Newport County, Newport Life Magazine. She is an alumni of the 10,000 Small Businesses Program and has 25 years of experience working with physician practices and large medical care systems with the aim of creating positive change in patients’ lives.
