I am ready for your special pup

Hi I am known as "Laura the Doggie Mommy"! I am Located in Saint Augustine. My husband, Dan and I team up to take care of your pup/pups! There is always someone home. Because of this, your doggie won't need to be in a crate during the day or night unless that's what your pup prefers! Our goal is for your special one to feel at home away from home! We want you to know we’ll love your pup or pups like they are a part of our family! Your pup will get lots of love and attention! I am a proud mommy of Lily, our 7 year old beagle. We do lots of fun things during the day like go on walks all around our neighborhood, play fetch, and learn tricks. There will be lots of play, walks and love while your pup is with us. I also have 4 human kids! Alana is 23, Anna is 20, Daniel is 16, and Dawson is 14! All of my children love dogs and help take care of the pups with us! Your pup/pups will receive so much love while they are with us! I am married to my best friend of 25 years, Dan! I don't mind last minute bookings. I also can do long term or short term bookings whatever works best for you! DOG BOARDING: Pick up time on the day of pick up is before 12pm. Anytime after that it'll be a full day rate charge which is $35 per doggie. Again, I am here to help your family make memories while I have your special pup! I am very excited to meet you and your pup.

If you want a pet sitter for your wonderful dog, Laura is the person I would highly recommend! Laura and her family took excellent care of my 4 year old mini toy poodle, Jet. She forwarded me many pictures every day for a week that showed Jet having fun with her family and the other dogs in her home. Jet is very attached to me and my husband, but we could see that he was enjoying his stay at Laura's home. We look forward to seeing Laura and her family, again, next time we go on a trip that doesn't allow us to bring Jet.

Laura was great! Took me at the last minute and gave me regular updates without asking on how my pup was doing. She was aware of issues he had in the past being overstimulated in a kennel environment. She kept an eye out for anything that seemed off with him and let me know how he was coping. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.

Schedule

My husband, Dan and I work together to take care of your pup. We start the day off with a long walk with all the pups. Then breakfast is served. Every 3-4 hours we take the pups out for a walk to go potty or just for exercise! We start winding down at 7pm. Please make arrangements ahead of time to pick up your Sweet before 7pm. Thank you so much!!!

We love to give our doggies treats when they do something good. Can your dog have treats? How many times a day does your pup eat? Does your pup like to sleep in a crate or on a special blanket? Is your doggie allergic to any foods?? Does your male pup mark? If so we use disposable wraps right away! We have plenty of bowls. No need yo bring any bowls with your pup.
