Al and Laura's Home away from Home

Pet care experience

Hi everyone, my name is Laura and my husband's name is Al! Our life is pretty animal focused and we see our animals as our family, like our own kids. We like to spend most of our free time with our fur kids; hiking, playing, cuddling, etc. Personally, we are not fond of kenneling our animals when we can't take care of them which is what brought us to Rover! We want to provide the kind of experience and level of care for other animal families just like we do for our own. We treat all our clients like they are one of pack so that they feel right at home and comfortable whether they are staying with us or we are coming to them. We have 4 dogs and 1 cat. Our oldest, Foxy, is a sweet 17 year old cattle dog mix with beautiful brindle color fur. She may be a senior dog but no one told her that because she still has a lot of pep in her step! Our second oldest dog, Zeus, is a 12 year old pitbill mix who still thinks and acts like a puppy. He also thinks he's the size of a toy dog and doesn't quite understand when he cannot fit in my lap. They both have been together for about 12 yrs. Our cat ,Ziggy, is our referee for when our dogs start to play too rough. He meows loudly until they stop and boy does it work. Lucy is our 5 year old beagle with lot of energy that keeps all of us on our toes. She is very vocal when she wants something which be pretty cute. Last but not least, we have our newest addition, Ludo. He is a 1year pit bull who loves to give everyone, dogs especially, he meets tons of kisses. He loves all dogs but the small ones hold a special place in his heart. They all are house broken and know their eat and walk schedules. Our typical day on the weekends is just playing with the dogs and laying around and more playing with the dogs. Our service is great because we have over 16 years of experience with a variety of animals. From taking care of our friends pets and family's pets and also pets we have never met along the way! We have a huge 2 story house and we are in the process of installing fence. We would love to a second home and family for your babies! Let us know if you have any questions.

Al and Laura are the greatest. True dog lovers. My dog loves them. They even make him work for some of his treats.

Al & Laura are a great couple. They take wonderful care of our 2 shepherds. They are helpful and accommodating when things don’t go as planned. Our boys have a wonderful time with them and don’t think they even miss us very much.

Information Al G. would like to know about your pet

We have no breed preferences because good boys and girls come in all shapes and sizes! We just need to know that your pup is up to date on vaccinations and flea medications.

A typical day

We love to go for walks around the neighborhood, Spring Forest Road Park, Durant Nature Preserve, and Umstead park. Around the house we love spending time outside playing, swimming in the baby pool, playing with the sprinklers, and fetch is a mist.
