Energetic & Fur Loving Home

Pet care experience

For the past thirty years, I have spent a lot of my time caring for dogs. These dogs include my pets and those of my family. My duties encompass daily walks and playtime in our enclosed yard, feeding, bathing, and administering medications daily. I have a Labrador retriever mix with a special affection for all dogs. She is gentle with smaller ones and enjoys playing with larger breeds. Our dogs have the luxury of spacious rooms and are allowed on all furniture. They are free to roam in our home and fenced yard and take advantage of the amenities at a wonderful dog park. Socialization is at the owner's discretion only. My family and I prioritize spending quality time with our dog every evening and weekend, and we would be thrilled to care for your beloved pets while you're away.

Laura is an absolute blessing. My pup has anxiety and can't stay with just anyone, but she loves visiting. Laura regularly updates me with pictures and how everyone is doing. We will always be incredibly grateful for her.

Laura did a great job watching my dogs. I am very appreciative of her flexibility in pick up and drop offs.

Laura was very easy to communicate with! Chewy was well taken care of. She sent pics and videos including walks to the dog park. Highly recommend!

This was our first time using Rover, and Laura did a wonderful job of answering our questions, keeping us updated on Oakley. She made us feel more comfortable, leaving our dog with someone outside our immediate family. Thank you for all that you did!

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.

These prices are for one dog. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
