Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priority. We offer a cage-free, cozy home where pets are free to roam (crate-trained dogs are also welcome). Blankets on couches, dog beds throughout the house, and a calm, peaceful mountain setting help dogs feel right at home. I’m big on exercise and fun: tailored walks, hikes, fetch, shallow water pools, obedience games, or quiet time under the trees — whatever best suits your dog’s age, energy level, and personality.

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Laura, and my husband Brian and I are so excited for the opportunity to care for your beloved pets while you’re away! We recently moved to beautiful Kagel Canyon, just minutes from the 210 freeway. Our home sits on a serene private drive surrounded by mature trees and hiking trails. We have two fully fenced yards with plenty of shade and room to play, plus two VIP dog suites: • One with a queen-size bed • One with dog beds, a patio door, and a lovely garden view Family and animals have always been my passion. Growing up, my mom bred Boxers, and I later bred German Shepherds for 10 years. I’ve spent my life surrounded by dogs of all breeds and sizes, and I truly love giving them the best care possible. Pet sitting is our full-time job. Brian and I work together as a dedicated team, so your dog gets the benefit of two experienced sitters 100% of the time. We’re always here and provide constant supervision and attention throughout the day and night. We treat every dog as if they were our own and are honored to provide a safe, loving, stress-free home away from home. You can relax knowing your furry family member is in caring, experienced hands.

Laura and Brian are absolutely best! This was Seven’s first time staying with them and he (and us) loved the experience! They provided a lot of space for Seven to run with other dogs and played with water all day long. All that fun was documented with hilarious photos of Seven playing (mostly running) with other dogs. Laura sends photos almost daily which is a special treat for parents like we are who missed their dog very much. 10/10 experience! Highly recommend.

Our nine month old puppy had THE BEST time with Laura and Brian. They took great care of her. Sent us lots of photos and made sure she had tons of play time with her puppy friends! We will be coming back.
