I work from home and have a fairly open schedule. I can walk morning, noon and late afternoon with play on and off all day. I have a fenced yard for the pups that aren't fans of a leashed walk.

Information Laura J. would like to know about your pet
We'll need to meet first to make sure we click. I need to know of any behavior or medical issues. Likes/dislikes/fear reactions. Is your dog microchipped? Which vet do you use? Will they ignore squirrels or attempt to pounce on them? There's so much to learn about every dog.
A typical day
What does your dog like? I am not a runner, so we won't be jogging around the neighborhood. However, we can walk! Chew toys? Lovey blankets? Frisbee (only short throws in my fenced backyard)? Bring all the toys and comfort items.

Pet care experience
UPDATE 6/20/23: Do you want to go out for the Fourth of July? We have decided to stay home, so if you need a sitter reach out soon! I will only watch one other dog at a time, so your dog will be with just my family & pets. Nervous dogs ok. We don't expect it to be super loud in our home since we're not very close to the fireworks. Have multiple dogs?Send me a message and let's chat about it! UPDATE 5/1/23: We are ready to welcome your dog to our home while you take your vacation! Any breed, any size, any special needs are fine. Your dog must be ok with our dog, cats and a 12 yo child. UPDATE 4/1/23: We have added a puppy to our family. I will be taking a break from Rover while we get our new pup trained and ready to have new friends visit. I work from home everyday but Thursday. Calm, relaxed home with fenced yard and nice neighborhood for walks. Our elderly dog sadly crossed the rainbow bridge, so right now we do not have a dog. We do have two cats, they will hide or not care - depending on your dog. We have no small children. We are not smokers. We will only watch one or two dogs at a time (three if they're all in the same family). We're committed to long-term dog sitting if that's what you're searching for. Contact me with any questions!
Reviews
We were so happy with the care that Laura and her family provided for our Great Pry (Bailey). We were nervous leaving Bailey with a sitter. Bailey is a big dog and has never been crated or watched outside from our home. We loved the fact that Laura let her roam their house freely and that she did not book any other dogs when Bailey was staying with her. Bailey was able to have all her attention. Laura provided daily updates including pictures! She was flexible with our pickup time if we had any flight delays, we had several flights in one day and she made it easy if we had delays. Our experience with Bailey’s stay was exceptional! We would definitely book with Laura again!!
Laura and her family watched our Maxx while we took a family vacation. We were gone for a total of 8 days and were very nervous about leaving him for that long. We met with Laura prior to our trip and she was very calm, kind and listened to us talk about Maxx. It was the best decision that we could have made. Laura promised to communicate and send pictures and that is exactly what she did. She checked in twice a day, sending cute pictures of what Maxx was doing. They took him for walks, though he is a puller, they persevered. We are delighted with their service, and would recommend Laura to anyone that need someone loving to watch their furry, family member. Thank you so much Laura, and family, for we were able to enjoy a long awaited vacation without worry due to your excellent communication with us. If I could give them a higher rating, I would. We would use them again in a heartbeat!
Laura and her family took great care of our dog Ray. She provided lots of updates and was great to work with. We felt confident Ray was well taken care of while we were away. I would definitely recommend Laura’s care to others.
Laura is the best! She treats our dog like it’s her own. She’s very calm, caring and responsible. Our energetic corgi had plenty of room to run in their large fenced yard, and he was obviously well cared for. Lots of tail wags!
