Loving family-16 years Experience
I have been caring for dogs in my home for 16 years and have many repeat clients. My family and I make sure your dog is let out as often as needed in our fully fenced back yard and are cared for as our own. We have been doing this so long we are use to all different temperaments and having a dog always around. We have owned our home for 19 years. I am home full time and flexible with hours and needs of care. We are an active family and love to play with your dog and give it plenty of love. We pay close attention to your pets care instructions to insure safety and only give food you provide. All dogs are fed safely without other dogs present. We only watch up to 2 dogs at a time and my husband Derik is trained in how to properly introduce dogs to ensure their safety and establish a calm environment were the dogs live in peace together.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Laura and her family are just fantastic, the perfect folks to watch our active pup. She sent updates and cute photos which was helpful because we missed him so much! When we picked him up we could tell he had a great time. Will definitely book her again!
Our dog is always excited to see Derik and Laura.
I would give Laura & Derek 10 stars if I could. Neko had such a good time with them, and they kept us updated on him the entire stay. I thought he was going to feel like he had a new family because he had such a good time! Thank you for making him feel comfortable and at home. We will definitely be using your support in the future.
I felt Teddy was safe and in great hands while I was across the world. Truly appreciate the care he received.
Bear was happy with his stay. Thank you for taking care of him for 8 days and sending pictures daily. We will be seeing you again.
Teddy was well taken care of during his stay, I feel safe leaving him. I was provided updates on how he was doing which was appreciated. I’d highly recommend!

Schedule
I am home full time so your dog will get lots of love and have someone with them the majority of the time. They will be treated as if they were our own.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced back yard and we pad lock our gate so there is never any chance of it being left open. Our home is also accustomed to dogs.
A typical day
Morning feeding, lots of potty and play breaks outside. I let the dogs out and in as much as they like. When the weather is nice I just leave the back door open for them to come and go as they please into the back yard.
