DOGS ARE FAMILY!
Pet care experience
We grew up with dogs and no home is complete without at least one dog! We have experience owning and caring for high-maintenance puppies, mature arthritic dogs, tiny Yorkies, large Labs that shed constantly, and lots of dogs in between. We believe that dogs are social animals and that feeling like they are part of the family is essential to their happiness. In our house, we treat them like family (only better, LOL!) and keep them inside with us (except when they want to go out and play, walk, or potty, of course). We're a relaxed, flexible family and dogs make it all complete! Our home is clean and calm, and we only accept one family's dog(s) at a time which means your dogs get all of our attention! We enjoy interacting will all different breeds and personalities, and we can't wait to meet your sweet ones, too. This past summer, we had to put down our wonderful black lab, Riley, after 13 1/2 years of joy with her... But we recently adopted a chocolate lab puppy named Lucy (and she’s doing GREAT with the doggie guests we’ve hosted through Rover).
Reviews
Thank you, Poppy had the best time! 🐶🩷
This was the 2nd time we have used Laura for doggy daycare and we could not be happier! Abby was well cared for, and came home tired and happy! Loved the photos of Abby Labby & Laura's dog Lucy!
My dog was so happy after staying with Laura and her dog. Lots of playful fun and superior care!! So grateful to find such a wonderful person to care for my dog.
We left Abby with Laura for the day during my knee surgery in Salem. Everything was great!

Information Laura K. would like to know about your pet
Let us know if your dog needs medication-- We're very comfortable with administering that if needed. We would also like to accommodate your dog's sleeping preferences, so if that's a dog bed, a crate, whatever it may be, let us know. Also, make sure you tell us if there are any food allergies or anything specific we need to look out for. One more thing: Some people do not allow dogs on furniture, so while we do allow dogs on our couch, we will respect your wishes if that's not acceptable in your own home. We certainly do not want to instill habits in your dog that you don't think are good for your home. So just let us know!
A typical day
We have a nice neighborhood route where we can walk your dogs regularly. We live in NW Salem and love taking dogs to the park down the street or just out and about for a nice walk around the area. We'll throw the ball or frisbee if they like that. We only book one family’s dog or dogs at a time, so they’ll be getting our full love and attention while they’re here! They also will be inside with us for cuddle time, naps, belly rubs, etc.
