Auntie for your dog
Pet care experience
I've had dogs all my life. Currently I share my life with Teddy, a 68-pound, mixed-breed, bundle of love. Teddy gets along with other dogs but before your dog comes to stay with us, we’ll make sure that both of them get along and will be friends. The backyard is fenced with a three-foot fence and is fairly large. Your dog can safely run free and play as long as you assure me they will not jump the fence. I’ve cared for the pets of many people in the Twin Cites area including dogs, cats, chickens, peacocks, rabbits, horses, and even a few cows and goats. I've had dogs all my life. When I was 11, I begged my parents for a dog. Soon we had a Welsh Terrier puppy named Tag. After college, I found a stray puppy on the streets of Chicago. Her owners no longer could care for her, so I adopted her. Duncan was a shepherd husky hound who could open anything - including gates and the refrigerator - and entertained kids by sliding down ladders at the park Keesha was a Siberian Husky who got me outside in all seasons to walk, run, ski, snowshoe, and hike. We traveled North America together and even climbed a few mountains. Keesha was the Buddha dog, full of wisdom and presence. Your dog will be a treasured guest in my home. Plus, I'm a Tellington TTouch Practitioner so your fur baby will get extras with me. Teddy and I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby!
Reviews
Laura did a great job sitting our 11-year-old schnoodle, Porter! He was a happy pup when we picked him up!
Laura was wonderful and I think my dog had a great time with her! Would definitely recommend her- your dog will be in great care :).
Laura not only provided a space that was great and activities and caring that were right on for my senior dog, but the most important-- peace of mind that let me enjoy my time away knowing my pooch was well cared for. Laura looks forward to guest furry friends in her home and my dog responded to the warmth and attention. It was the right match for me!
Laura has a wonderful spirit and is very much in tune with animals. She has watched my dog, who is a little shy with people, and works very well with her. Peanut gives her a four paws up rating.

If you dog stay here, I have a fenced yard. Teddy and your dog will enjoy running around and playing together or we can go on walks. If I come to your place, we can find fun places to walk near your house.
Home
Information Laura D. would like to know about your pet
Tell me what you love about your dog. Let me know his little quirks and her favorite things to do. How does your dog respond to other dogs or animals? People? Are there any problems I need to be aware of? Does your dog guard food or toys? Has your dog ever been reactive or aggressive to people or pets? Does your dog have any special needs? How does your dog do when left alone? Does he need a crate or to be gated in a room?
A typical day
We can ago for walks around the little lake near my house, at Lake Elmo Park Reserve or around Lake Phalen. All beautiful trails. If your dog stays overnight, they will sleep on their bed or in their crate. Some dogs will get human bed privileges, but it depends on the dog.

I work from home so the dogs can be outside in the fenced in yard or we can go for walks. The longest my dog is home alone is 4-5 hours.
