Retired Couple Enjoys Guests
Pet care experience
Having raised 5 sons, 2 rescue dogs, and a cat, we are now pet-free. We still welcome other pets for stays at the house and for neighborhood walks. Our rescue dogs each lived to be 14-ish, so we've had a dog in the house for 20+ years. We've been watching son's 2 labs (60 and 80 lbs) and several neighbor dogs at different times. We have some travel planned and try to keep our Rover Calendar up to date with our availability. We have a big backyard, but it is not fully fenced, so we have a 100' tether to keep a dog from running off during play.
Reviews
Joe and Laurie kept our labradoodle for the first time last week. They had some family issues going on, but still were so very responsive with daily texts and emails. It is obvious that they love dogs and certainly will treat your dog as their own. Spencer had a great vacation with Joe and Laurie while we enjoyed ours…without any worries about his care!!
I had a wonderful experience with Joe and Laurie! They welcomed my dog like a member of their family. I couldn’t ask for better dog sitters. I loved receiving daily photos. They were very accommodating and even give my dog her meds . Perfect!
Ozzie had a great time staying with Joe and Laurie!
Joe and Laurie were great with Greta! I could tell she was had a fun time with them. Lots of walks, treats and attention- all Greta’s favorite things. I appreciated their communication and I would definitely recommend and will be using them again. It’s clear they love dogs!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We usually just host one dog at a time, but will do 2 dogs that normally live together (from the same client). We work to minimize overlap between clients on dropoff and pickup days. This lets us treat guest(s) like we did when we had our own dog. If your dog likes to sleep in a crate, feel free to bring it; otherwise we have a couple of dog beds available. You are welcome to bring a favorite blanket and a couple toys, but we have some here. Ideally we can show/discuss at a 15 minute "Meet & Greet" at our house sometime before the actual stay.
Home
Information Joe & Laurie K. would like to know about your pet
We like to know if there are any unusual things that scares your dog, and how well it gets along with people/kids and with other dogs. Also tell us any special dietary restrictions like no table scraps etc..
A typical day
Enjoy walks around the neighborhood or Sharon Woods. When dogs like to fetch, we do that in the backyard but are careful to stay hydrated.
