Pet care experience

Love is a four-legged word 🐾

Hi, I'm Laura! I daydreamed about having pets since childhood because my parents were allergic and I couldn't have any pets growing up. Once I bought my first house in 2003, I adopted my dog from the shelter. Shadow was a one year old Rottweiler and he was already potty trained and knew basic commands. He was perfect for a first dog! I also have volunteered for the Humane Society and helped raise litters of puppies and kittens over the years, I've also had experience bottle feeding kittens. My home sits on 1/2 an acre and has a 6' vinyl fully fenced backyard, so lots of room for your dogs to run and play. I have blankets on the couches so everyone can be comfortable. Dog hair, don't care :)

I have brought my dog to Laura twice now and have had such a great experience! Her communication is great, she was flexible with my schedule for a last minute booking, she sent me pictures almost every day and even got special food for my dog when he was being picky and wouldn't eat his own. He always comes home tired and happy and I love knowing he is safe and taken care of when he stays here! We will continue booking with Laura as long as she is available!

Knowing your dog's temperament is crucial so we know that my senior dogs and my lazy cat who tolerates chill dogs and cats will get along with your pet(s)! My dogs are siblings and are friendly yet submissive to other dogs.
