I work full-time M-F within a mile of my home. This allows me to give multiple potty breaks and attention as needed. My family is always around as well. The longest time left alone would be 3-4 hrs during the work week.

Information Laura B. would like to know about your pet

Please update your pet's vet contact details and their vaccination records on your profile. Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of. Do you have any favorite activities that your pet enjoys? What commands does your dog understand? When are their feeding times?

A typical day

I offer a wide range of mental stimulation toys and puzzles to keep your dog entertained. We provide daily walks, and if requested, we also offer playtime at our local dog park. We love to cuddle and give extra attention to dogs who like a calm and loving companion.

Laura is AMAZING! Our Lillie has found a home away from home. Laura sent updates and pictures during the week. She even let our girl sleep with her during a thunderstorm! We plan to use Laura again and again. We are so thankful we've found a person we trust when we are away.

Laura did a wonderful job watching my two dogs. One is nervous of people and the other is nervous of other dogs. They were totally at home when I came to pick them up. She has a nice set up for the dogs. She is very patient with too.

She was great with my 2 kids. They seemed so happy there. She was personable and when we had our meet and greet my dogs loved the yard and played. She sent pictures and my dogs looked so relaxed and comfortable. I will be using Laura again when I need a place to take my dogs for a night or 2. Mordechai and Sophie had a great time.
