Pet care experience

1/2 acre fenced yard home full time

I've worked with dogs for over 20 years in animal shelters Vet Hospitals and boarding kennels so I am very knowledgeable about dog boarding. I also administer medication to dogs that need it and special dietary needs. I worked at a no kill shelter for 5 years working with stray abandoned abused and neglected dogs. My job was to find the perfect home for the perfect dog. I've had lots of "happy endings" I'm a " home body" I'm home all the time so I'm available on weekends and holidays to spoil and pamper your dog including major holidays. Dogs are just my life and love!! I have a dog friendly home in a peaceful well maintained neighborhood and a big fenced in yard so no need for leash walks..just take them in the yard and let them run! My husband is also here and he adores dogs just as much as I do. I am a homeowner with 2 small dogs of my own. 2 beagles I adopted when my senior dogs passed away. We would love to meet your dog and have your dog as part of our family while you're away!

Ms Laura is great , she sent plenty of pictures and Nyla gets to socialize with her other clients. Since nyla is a white dog she is always fresh and clean when I pick her up. Will be rebook again.

Wonderful sitter. This was my first time using a sitter and Ms. Laura was the perfect person for me to choose. She sent tons of pics to let me know that my baby was having a good time and getting along with the other doggies. I truly appreciate her care of my dog and can’t wait for another opportunity to use her!

Laura was the best! Before we dropped our fur baby dog, Loki, off Laura asked questions to clarify and get to know more about him to make sure it would be a safe environment for him and any other dogs she may have at the time. To me, that shows that Laura cares and is knowledgeable in this field. Our dog, Loki, is very shy, but he was comfortable with Laura and even made some dog friends. Laura kept us updated every day, several times a day. That helped me to not worry. Our kids absolutely loved getting the pictures Laura sent. Laura took great care of our fur baby. We are so thankful to have found her. We will definitely book with Laura again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 600 Sq ft studio apartment in my backyard that I've turned into my "Pet Resort " with all of the comforts that a dog dreams of! Fully air conditioned and heated. They even have their own bed! Alot of my clients call this a "Doggy Airbnb!" 😊It has all day access to a huge fenced in yard so your dog has the freedom to run and play at his pleasure and come inside to relax!
