Some days I’ll be working from the office for about 5 hours, and other days I’ll be home—my schedule changes week to week. I really enjoy having a dog around for company, so I’m looking for pups who are comfortable being on their own for a bit and don’t have separation anxiety.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets have access to a spacious 0.5 acre fenced backyard, perfect for running, playing, and enjoying the outdoors safely. We live in a quiet residential neighborhood with plenty of green areas and nearby trails. I aim to provide a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where pets can feel at home while getting plenty of outdoor time and attention.

Information Laia G. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know a few things about your pet ahead of time to make sure they’re comfortable and well taken care of. I’d love to hear about their schedule, any commands they follow, how they get along with kids or other dogs, and if they take any medication. This helps ensure they have a safe, happy stay with me!

A typical day

I love spending quality time with the dogs I watch. We start the day with a walk, and throughout the day, I offer potty breaks and playtime in our large fenced backyard. After work, we enjoy another walk around the neighborhood or nearby trails. On weekends, I have more free time and often take dogs for longer walks on the Mt. Vernon Trail or let them run and explore off-leash in the yard.

Pet care experience

ONLY HYPOALLERGENIC DOGS🐶 Hi there! I’m Laia and I live in the Mt. Vernon area with my partner in a house with a 0.5-acre fenced backyard. I work from the office some days a month, but otherwise, I’m home and have a pretty flexible schedule. Since my routine can vary, I’m looking to host dogs who are comfortable being alone for a few hours and don’t have separation anxiety. We don’t have any pets or kids at home, and due to allergies, we can only host hypoallergenic pups. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend!

So happy we found Laia on here! She is everything every review says! Very communicative, takes great pictures, and she is also just so friendly! The moment I stepped into her home I knew my dog was in a safe space with a very kind person! Her backyard is also massive! I could tell my dog had such a fun time! We will definitely be booking with her again! Thanks Laia!

Cooper had another amazing vacation with Laia. Her backyard is dog heaven! She sent me daily updates with photos and I could tell he was having the very best time at Cooper Camp. Laia is always our first choice to watch Cooper and we’ve even adjusted our travel days just to make sure he can stay with her. I’m sure he didn’t miss me at all he was so happy on his Laia vacation.
