Availability

Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to offer dog walking throughout the day and boarding any day of the week, with plenty of time for attention, exercise, and care. I also love spending time outdoors with my own dog—whether that’s walking around local parks, exploring the neighborhood, or catching a sunset - and I’d be happy to include your dog in those adventures if that’s something you’re comfortable with!

Safety, trust & environment

I always aim to create a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for every dog in my care, whether I’m walking them or hosting them in my home. I live in a very walkable area near several parks and green spaces, which allows dogs to get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and fresh air. I also have a fenced-in backyard with a privacy fence for safe outdoor time, access to a dog park in my complex for play, and my friendly dog Luca who enjoys really enjoys having a playmate!

Information Laine C. would like to know about your pet

With dog boarding or daycare clients I like to set up a meet and greet for me to meet your dog and for them to meet my dog, Luca, to be sure everyone gets along! Luca is a very friendly dog and is great at getting new dogs out of their shell. Pet parents should let me know as much about your dogs daily routine, their meal times, potty break indications, and whatever else I should know about your dog during this meet and greet. Please be sure to provide your dog's food for their stay! You are also more than welcome to provide a bed, blankets, or toys if your dog would feel more comfortable with them.

A typical day

My dog and I typically get up for his first potty break around 7:30 am. He eats his breakfast soon after that, and then he usually wants to go back to bed until it is time for our morning walk. After our morning walk we will play in our yard or watch TV then repeats the cycle of playing, sleeping, and walking until dinner time! After dinner, we usually go on long walks and continue playing and watching TV until time for bed!

Walks, Playtime & Lots of Love

Pet care experience

Dogs have been a part of my life for over 17+ years, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’ve raised and cared for dogs from playful puppies to sweet senior pups, so I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and unique needs. I always take the time to listen closely to pet parents and follow their routines so their dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re away, because I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family.

Laine has been great to our precious yellow lab, Katie. Recently, she went above and beyond to help in an emergency. Totally reliable and highly recommend!

Laine is absolutely amazing! She was fantastic with communication & sent us daily updates of our fur baby (both messages and photos)… I would definitely book with her again! :)

Laine has been so great! We needed a new dog sitter last minute for our 1 y/o golden retriever and she was able to accommodate our schedule immediately! Communication with her has been so quick and easy, she is very responsive, she is so sweet, and our dog loves her! We've even talked with her already about possibly boarding! You can tell she loves dogs which is something I want in whoever watches our fur baby. We will definitely keep using Laine as long as she is dog sitting!

Laine was fabulous and will absolutely use her again! She checked on my pup every day for a week and . gave him lots of attention and love. She even messaged me the one day asking about his lunch when I forgot to leave it out making sure he got fed!
