I work from home part-time so I am home all day with my toddler and our dogs. I have a very energetic dog and a dog the literal opposite so we make lots of time all throughout the day to play outside, but also make time to relax for the more relaxed doggie.

Information Laura D. would like to know about your pet

If your animal is special needs or needs injections, please let me know ahead of time so I can make sure to have all the information and be ready for their stay.

A typical day

We go on daily walks, so if you would like for us to include your pet, let me know! We go outside and play fetch in our yard at least 3 times a day, so for the energetic pups, we've got them! We also have a covered patio so the more relaxed animals can enjoy the outdoors comfortably as well.

Pet care experience

I’ve been pet sitting and house sitting for over 15 years. I love animals and love being able to help others with their pets, especially knowing how hard it can be to leave your fur baby while going on a trip. With me, the owners will never have to worry about how their dog is doing. We are a house full of fun and snuggles and plenty of play time in our yard. I have grown up with pets all my life so I know how to care for all types of animals, from dogs and cats to lizards, rats, chinchillas and more! I have 2 dogs myself which have quite a history of their own and I have also fostered special needs dogs. I am home all day with your pets while they are in my care and send lots of pictures and updates to always keep you in the loop :) I hope you feel reassured in picking me to watch your fur baby and hope to hear from you!!
