retired! I can give time and love!
Pet care experience
I love the senior dogs! Maybe because I can now sympathize with them. I don’t mind giving medicine, even shots. (I had a goat farm and horses. So I have been giving animal shots my whole life) I have been a dog rescuer for years and all my pets have been rescues. I lost my last guy about a years ago. I just moved here from California to be with my son and grandson and until my new companion finds me I thought caring for other's pets would fill the void. My roommates chihuahua found a place in my heart, although I always wondered how... she is cute, but feisty. I love labs and have had mostly lab mixes and large dogs. Out here I will need to down size. Since, I don't have a yard. I will only take two dogs at a time, so I can provide enough attention to both. It seems we have a day overlap when there is three. So we go for walk/potty breaks about every two (2) hours, a distance of 4 blocks, 15 minutes each time. I get up at 5/6 so our first round is early. We do not want any accidents. They will need to be compatable and will need to be introduced. If I am at your home only your dogs are there. Unless specifically requested I don’t take dogs to the dog park, or until I get to know your dog and know how they will act with others. I want everyone safe.
Reviews
Laura was great with my puppy, Kuzy. She took the time to understand my training / feeding plans, and carried them out. I felt comfortable leaving him with Laura. Thanks!
Laura made by girl poodles feel like they were home. And I know they felt loved. I was almost afraid they wouldn't want to come home with me after staying with Laura. I even adopted an addition to their food she had added, they liked it so much. One of my girls has epilepsy, and Laura made sure she got her medicine every day (and that my other dog didn't eat it first.) She walked them whenever they needed it, and gave them plenty of love and attention. I will be using Laura again any time she is available when I have to leave the girls.
Laura is great...she was absolutely wonderful with my newly adopted dog, Sirius. My dog is a super hyper and jumpy guy; but Laura did a fab job. She made sure my dog gets enough exercise and stimulation for the day and she also gave my suggestions /tips to engage him more. I shall definitely recommend Laura for dog sitting/boarding...
I know that Snoopy had a great time because he was tired when I picked him up. He had to nap all afternoon. Laura took great care of him and she also took him on lots of walks and to visit with other dogs. Thanks Laura we will definitely be boarding again with you!

Information Laura S. would like to know about your pet
I cannot care for aggressive dogs. Nervous ok, I've dealt with chihuahuas and can calm them, but if they draw blood? That isn't good. Nor acceptable. I have several kennels in my home and I do feed all the dogs separately. My dogs all go into their respective kennels for meals and I have extra ones. and extra spaces for guests. This way, nobody has to worry about their food.
A typical day
We live in a large home and have the kitchen and family room sectioned off for the dogs, so I can keep an eye on them. We live on three fenced acres With a very dog friendly yard. I have fence the yard so the dogs have their space and we have ours. I have the property sprayed regularly so I do NOT have to worry about fleas, tics, or mosquitoes! I also have dog doors for them to come and go as they wish. AND boy do they figure out that door quickly and use it well!
