Small Dogs Paradise!

Pet care experience

Medium-sized 2-bedroom house with lots of dog toys, treats, and beds for your furry friends. Large, fully fenced backyard with a small doggie door to access the backyard from the house. I have hosted different dogs with different personalities over the past years, however I specialize in small and medium-sized dogs. I live a few blocks from the Barnum park which has a off-leash dog park to play or just to enjoy a nice walk. I currently have one little sweet dog of my own, so this house is a good option for hosting other small dogs. I have been a total dog lover my entire life, and I will care for your dog as if it were my own. I hope to meet your dogs soon!

I’ve never left a negative review before. However, I think it’s important for other pet owners to be informed. I was initially very impressed by this couples rover profile. When I met them in person they seemed very charming. I’m sure these are nice people, but they’re extremely unprofessional. The night before my flight, Laird cancelled my pet reservation. His actions caused me a ton of stress- my business trip was almost ruined over the last minute cancellation. I couldn’t find a replacement sitter on such short notice. Laird reluctantly agreed to watch my dogs after all. He acted like it was such a burden to complete this job I had paid him to complete. When I returned from my trip, I was shocked to find SO many pets frantically running around their home. There were too many random dogs running around. My dogs were frightened. Very few of my “care instructions” were followed. The dogs had no clean water available to drink. This whole situation was sketchy and to be blunt- completely unacceptable. ** After picking the dogs up after the trip, I had to treat my chihuahua for severe dehydration. This was a big deal. Laird and his girlfriend had forgotten to leave water down for my dog. These careless actions put my puppies life at risk. When I picked my dogs up, Laird told me how “poorly behaved” my pets were. My dogs peed all over themselves and the house because they weren’t let outside enough. I strongly advise everything to stay away from this particular sitter. He didn’t even offer to reimburse my dog for the heat stroke situation. Once again, I’m sure these are very nice people- but they presented my dogs with many safety issues.

Maggie loves Laird (and Laurence)! Laird was the best - my initial reason for choosing an in-home sitter over boarding was the personal, full-time care in a setting like more like Maggie's home and that is exactly what I got. Maggie was as comfortable and cared for just as if she was at home - and this means the world to me. If your "prince or princess" means as much to you as mine does to me, Laird is the man! When I went to pick Maggie up she was happy to see me but you could tell that she bonded with Laird and his beautiful fiance - I could tell that she was pampered and loved by these two as if she was their own. I couldn't have asked for more and wouldn't consider using anyone else!
