Pet care experience

Trustworthy, loving, ready to play!

Your pet will receive exceptional, loving care while you’re away. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something that brings me genuine joy. I treat every pet as if they were my own beloved family member. I offer boarding, in-home pet sitting, drop-in visits, and daily walks. For boarding, I welcome only one family’s dogs at a time. With no other pets or children in the home, your pup can relax in a calm, stress-free environment—perfect even for anxious dogs. Our spacious, fully fenced yard provides plenty of room for safe play, running, and exploration. Daily walks are tailored to your dog’s energy level, ensuring they get the right balance of exercise and enrichment. I’ve cared for many animals over the years, but dogs and cats hold a special place in my heart. Losing my lab mix after 15 wonderful years taught me just how deep the bond with our pets truly is—and that love guides the care I provide every day. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routines, preferences, and special needs so they feel comfortable, happy, and secure while you’re apart. Your furry family member will be loved, respected, and cared for as one of my own. I can’t wait to spend time with your special fur babies!

Laura was wonderful and provided a great place and lots of love for Bella in our absence. I highly recommend Laura and will certainly use her services when we are in the area again. Thank you so much Laura!

We are so thankful for Laura and her wonderful care of our active 5 yo dog while we were away for several days. We had multiple updates and photos each day, which were very appreciated. Our dog came home very happy and well loved. Thank you Laura! :)

Laura was great. She took excellent care of our pup and our house. Our pup took advantage of her and wanted more than usual walks. She worked around our crazy schedule for the day. We highly recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment

I keep pets happy, active and comforted with a fun structured routine. I care for your pet with attention to detail and tons of love creating a calm, safe environment where pets can relax and feel secure. I adapt to all pet personalities from shy observers, slow seniors to social butterfly's. Walks will always be on a leash! Medication can be given as needed as well as post-operative care as needed.

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy and engaged with fun activities i.e. fetch, and walks. Potty breaks are frequent. I also do daily wellness checks, looking for changes in appetite, behavior or energy. I make sure they get exercise, mental stimulation and down time. Senior pets will get plenty engagement and lots of snuggles. You'll receive regular updates so you know your pup is happy , safe and thriving in my care.
