We have an 10 yr old Sheltie/Corgie mix. Roxie is about 23lbs . With a Sheltie breed, Roxie helps herd the dogs , so she is actually part of our team. Roxie keeps a watchful eye on the other dogs, sometimes making them a play friend and other times observing them from a distance.

Safety, trust & environment
About my yard My yard is small but safe. The fence is 6 feet tall reinforced by bricks underneath, even the great escape artists have not been able to penetrate our fencing, although many have tried. I do not leave dogs out too long, especially in the summer or during our short winter season. Occasionally I will need to mop the floors to keep the house as clean as possible. I do not make a habit of crating dogs but on occasion if a dog has exhibited threatening behavior or if I've noticed extreme separation anxiety and I need to leave the house for a little bit.
Home
Information Laura I. would like to know about your pet
I do prefer family dogs, ones that have been around children or have been raised around other dogs. What I would question a new client is whether the pet has been pet-sitted before (away from the owner) and how they reacted in the situation. I would ask what is there potty schedule.and if they feel comfortable doing this in my fenced in yard. I would ask the sleeping arrangements for their pet and work accordingly. I would ask the pets likes and dislikes/fears. I require the owner to bring their own pet food and treats.
A typical day
I don't walk dogs boarded at my home, you never know what other dog we can encounter. I feel my home is the safest place where our environment is controlled. For dogs that are full of energy we take them and play with them in our backyard. We tend to stock large balls that can be rolled around the yard. Otherwise some dogs get one on one play time, depending on the age and energy level. Most of our guests are content with barking at the neighbors dogs and trying to catch squirrels climbing our trees.

Pet care experience
Please note we only accept small/medium breed dogs, up to 25 lbs. This allows us to keep our guests safe and comfortable. We have many safety features to offer, such as our Ring alarm system, front porch rails with secure gate, as well as doggie gates inside and a fully fenced in yard for your pups to play and or do their business. I have been pet sitting in my home since 2013 and have a system that works. You will be impressed with our pet friendly layout and will be comfortable leaving your dog(s) with us. Our requirements are that your pet is family and pet friendly, fully vaccinated as well as spayed or neutered (not necessary for home visits/walks.) You supply the food/snacks and medications. If necessary oral medication (pills) dispersement is included. I also offer home visits (drop-ins) and dog walks for dogs over 25 lbs (or smaller of course) and cats. Our visits/walks are a great option when we are booked or if your dogs would feel more comfortable in their own home. We offer a free 15 minute meet and greet if time allows.
Cat care experience
Laura also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Laura has the perfect place for boarding our dog while we enjoyed a beach trip! She is punctual and organized, and our pup had a great visit. We will definitely go back!
Laura was excellent. My two dogs were happy and well taken care of. Thank you Laura. I will be seeing you again in the future.
Teddy had a great stay with Laura! He was very excited to meet her and was extremely happy when we picked him up! I would definitely recommend her to watch your pup!
Excellent care for our Beau on short notice! Thank you!
