Camp Pawsome! Pup's dream retreat!
All dogs melt my heart ❤️ 'The world would be a nicer place if everyone had the ability to love as unconditionally as a dog.' — M.K. Clinton Hi, my name is Laura, and caring for animals is truly my dream job—a passion that never feels like work! I’ve been a proud Rover host since 2022, and in August 2026, I relocated from Wayne, NJ to Harrisburg, PA. The hardest part of the move was saying goodbye to all my sweet fur friends, but as my past client reviews attest, the love, devotion, and care I give to every animal remains my top priority. Over the past 27 years, I’ve owned six beloved fur babies, cared for countless amazing pups, and fostered through the New Jersey Boxer Rescue—helping rescue dogs learn to trust and feel safe before finding their forever homes. Today, my two rescue dogs and two high school-aged sons share my passion for pets—we truly treat every animal like family! I offer overnight boarding in a cozy, welcoming home environment, strictly limiting care to a maximum of 3 families and 8 dogs total (including my own) to ensure every guest receives personalized love and attention. I am also thrilled to offer dog walking and drop-in visit services for cats and all household pets in our new community!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Laura has been very caring and flexible to our new pups needs. She’s even shared some training tips with us so we’re all on the same page with making our puppy into the best boy! She’s new to the Harrisburg area so I’ll definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a new dog sitter.
Laura was a great dog sitter for our pup Ginger. We had a very nice meet and greet followed by a one night stay to try her out. Laura had good communication with us and has a very dog friendly home and family. All went well with our overnight trial so we will be leaving Ginger with her again for our up coming trip out of town. I feel relieved to know that our baby will be in excellent hands while we are away.
Finn had another great stay at Laura’s house!!
Laura was wonderful. We really appreciated the daily updates including pictures and videos. She cared for Layla as if she were her own. We could not have been happier with our experience!
Laura took wonderful care once again of our boy Orso! We truly appreciated all the updates, pictures and video she sent to ease our days away from him. When he was having some digestive issues, she asked if she could add pumpkin to his food which he thoroughly enjoyed. We will continue to be repeat clients and highly recommend Laura.
As always, Laura treats our Toby like her own dog. Can't ask for anything better!

Schedule
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Meet & Greet Required: All new bookings require a Meet & Greet—at my home for boarding requests, and at the client’s home for dog walking and drop-in services. Drop-Off & Pick-Up Hours: All drop-offs and pick-ups must occur between 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM within an agreed-upon 1-hour window, unless otherwise arranged. Spay/Neuter Policy: All dogs boarding over 10 months old must be spayed or neutered—no exceptions. (Not required for walks or drop-in visits). Rates & Behavior Policy: Rates may vary based on your pet’s specific needs and training. Additional charges may apply for dogs working on house-training or boundary control, as well as senior pets requiring extra care and attention. Damage Policy: Clients are responsible for reimbursing any significant property damage caused by their pet. A Little About Me: Running Camp Pawsome full-time gives me a flexible schedule to dedicate plenty of time, care, and attention to all animals in my care. Whether I’m hosting overnight boarding in my home, taking dogs out for invigorating walks, or dropping in to care for cats and other household pets, your animals are treated like family. While managing my home and family is part of my daily routine, boarding pups are never left alone for more than 2 hours at a time, and every visiting pet receives attentive, loving, and personalized care.

Safety, trust & environment
Your Pet’s Safety & Comfort Come First My top priority is every animal’s safety and well-being—whether they are staying at my home or cared for in yours. Boarding dogs are always monitored when together and are never left unsupervised in the yard. Each pup (or family of pups) has their own private space for feeding, sleeping, and quiet time. To create a calm environment, I play soothing music during rest periods. All rooms in my home are under video surveillance, which I monitor from both my kitchen screen and phone, ensuring complete peace of mind at all times. I am prepared to handle a wide range of needs and easily adapt to your pet's routine, whether for boarding, neighborhood walks, or drop-in care for cats and other animals. An Experience That Feels Like a Vacation Your pets will feel loved and pampered while under my care! During boarding stays and visits, they’ll enjoy: A private, fully fenced-in yard backing up to scenic golf course and mountain views—perfect for lounging, sniffing, and relaxing Splash time in baby pools for pups who love water fun on hot days Active games like fetch, chase, and tug-of-war in the yard or on brisk walks Dedicated drop-in care for cats and other pets in their own home (feeding, play, litter/habitat care, and affection) Rainy day fun with indoor games like bubbles, laser chase, treat mazes, and gentle enrichment When it’s time to rest, dogs can curl up on a fluffy pillow, a cozy couch, or play with a variety of toys available throughout the house. If you prefer your dog to be crated, or if they feel most secure that way, I can easily accommodate that. Location & Environment

A typical day
Every day at Camp Pawsome is packed with fun! My day starts early at 6 AM caring for our morning guests, and runs right through final bedtime snuggles around 10–11 PM. Throughout the day, boarding pups enjoy plenty of yard play, indoor enrichment games, and brisk walks around the neighborhood! Between boarding fun, I head out for drop-in visits to check on, feed, and pamper cats and other furry friends in their own homes. Your pet will stay happy, active, and fully engaged from morning till night!
