Information Lainey J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any specific needs. I understand some dogs need more exercise while others don’t need as much. All dogs have their own amazing personalities and I always want to accommodate each dog based on their specific wants and needs.

A typical day

I have tons of toys and love to play fetch either inside the apartment or at the dog park. I love taking long or short walks, depending on each individual dog and their needs. I will also gladly bring treats to each visit/walk. And of course tons of love and attention!

Pets

Lover of all breeds!

Pet care experience

I’ve owned and cared for different dog breeds my entire life, both big and small. My first dog was a medium sized mutt, and then my family grew a love for miniature dachshunds (we’ve had 5 dachshunds in total, and I have my own now). Our first dachshund, Milo, lived to 21, so I’m very familiar with caring for senior dogs as well. I love and am comfortable with all breeds - none are off limits! I’m well equipped to walk, feed, bathe, administer medication, and teach basic commands. I believe dogs need nothing but structure, guidance and lots of love!

​Lainey has been absolutely amazing with our dog, Zuse! She has been a total lifesaver, often making herself available on short notice, which has been a huge blessing for our busy schedule. ​We love her, and more importantly, our fur baby loves her too. If you are looking for someone trustworthy and caring, look no further—you will love her just as much as we do! ​Why we recommend Lainey: ​Reliability: Always there when we need her, even last-minute. ​Bonding: Zuse took to her immediately. ​Peace of Mind: We know our pup is in the best hands.

"We cannot say enough good things about Lainey! She has been an absolute miracle for Zuse. Not only is she wonderful with him, but her communication is top-notch—we always know exactly how his walks are going. She has been incredibly helpful by stepping in on very short notice, which has been a lifesaver for our family. We love her, Zuse loves her, and we highly recommend her to anyone. You and your fur babies will be in great hands!"

Lainey is such a kind and responsible person! Her dog is also a well-behaved girl who seems to be very well-trained. She shared some photos with us, and we could tell Soy had a great time with them! We can't thank Lainey and Nellie enough! We couldn't recommend her more. We really miss them!!
