Loving family-13 years Experience

Pet care experience

I have been caring for dogs in my home for 13 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 16 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 4 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.

10 stars!!!⭐️ I’m so grateful Derik and Laura watched Tyson for us during our trip to Disney! I was nervous because we’ve never left Tyson before, but Laura sent me plenty of updates and photos of Tyson during his stay and that gave me peace of mind. Seemed like he had a great time playing in their fenced in backyard! Thank you so much?

Best dog sitter ever!! Laura and her family have taken in my sweet pup the past 2 months as I’ve been transitioning to a new Job and home in TN. They have cared for Wrigley like she was their own!! I’ve always had 100% confidence in them and never worried. Laura has consistently kept me updated and sent photos multiple times per day., we are truly going to miss Laura, Derek and the entire family. Thank you for blessing us with your love and friendship these past4 years!! ❤️❤️

Information Derik & Laura J. would like to know about your pet

We need to know if there are any anxiety or temperaments being left alone. Any habits or tendencies to chew so we can ensure we don't have those items in reach. Any patterns of aggression.

A typical day

Morning feeding, walks and 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.
