Pet care experience
TrustworthyLovingSafety1st
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.

Once again treated my old boy like royalty. So thankful.
Wonderful dog people! I left my Belgian Malinois for 2 days and he had a blast there! I love my dog spending a few days away from him did worry me but the photos and updates they would provide for me left me with confidence that he is in great hands. Will come back again!
My dogs favorite second home!
Laura and Brian have been the only family we have left Ollie with. They are both so nice and have been nothing but welcoming and making sure he feels comfortable. They’re so good at keeping up updated with pictures and truly making us feel at ease!
Let me start by saying this was the first time in over 15 years that my boy has ever been watched by anyone that wasn't family. To say I was nervous was an understatement. My boy is almost 18 yrs old, mostly blind and deaf, and has been with me most of his life. He was there for me, so there is no chance I wouldn't be there for him. But I have a job coming up out of town, my son now has a very busy work schedule, and I really need to take the job. So I poured over the internet, found rover, and then found Laura and Brian. Their profile sounded promising, so I reached out. Speaking with Laura made me feel so much better and comfortable with leaving my boy for a weekend trial. They were AWESOME with him. Everything I really wanted for him, they were already on it. They understood how scared he can get in a world of silent shadows and made sure he felt their presence so he knew he wasn't alone. They treated him special, he even got breakfast in bed one morning. And I know this because they also understood how nervous I was, and kept in touch with me constantly, with texts and pictures....like his breakfast in bed. The immense amount of relief they gave me was so important to me, as was their genuine caring about my old man. So tomorrow he's gonna hang out for the day, then again next month when my son gets married back East, and then for my job during most of October. I can't thank you guys enough and I highly recommend them. They kinda saved me and my fuzzy boy. Thanks
Another fun play day at Laura and Brian’s 😍

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
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.
A typical day
Mornings start with potty breaks and breakfast, followed by playtime or a walk. Throughout the day we enjoy indoor/outdoor activities, and evenings wind down with dinner, more potty breaks, and cozy relaxation. We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible and send plenty of updates and photos.
