Pet care experience
**I am not currently accepting dogs over 45 pounds. I have experience with most breeds and all sizes of dogs. Tiny Pomeranians to huge English Labradors....potty-training puppies to old couch potatoes...high-strung pooches to mellow canines....I love them all! It is amazing to see the different personalities that the dogs who stay with us have. They all make me laugh and there's something special about hanging out with dogs during my days. It's one of life's pleasures! I can tell you your dog will become like part of our family. He or she will have a lot of fun and expend a lot of energy! We have 2 children and 2 dogs. One dog is almost 8 and sleeps all day; the other is almost 3 and will enjoy playing with your dog! We have a cat-she spends her time hanging out on her special bed in our bedroom. She is used to dogs. Our children love dogs, and will definitely SPOIL your dog silly! Our yard is big, with a secure wood fence all around. There are 2 parks nearby, should your pup care to take a walk. I don't usually board more than 1 dog at a time (unless they are siblings), so your dog can have a peaceful and stress-free experience. You are paying for a personalized service and your pet deserves to have the maximum amount of attention, space, and cuddles! I do not accept unneutered or unspayed dogs except for puppies under six months old. Please have all shots up to date, and bring your dog’s crate, food, and puppy pads (if applicable). Feel free to bring your dog's bed, special blankie, or favorite treats-whatever makes him or her feel comfy! When you are gone on vacation or business, know that your dog will be in good hands! ---Updated Policies--- • Pick-up time for boarding dogs is 5 pm sharp. Pet parents who can’t make that time either book an additional night or have someone pick up their dog for them. Each 5 minute increment after 6 pm will be charged $5, added to your Rover fee. • Pick-up time for day care dogs is 9 hours or fewer from drop-off time. Each 5 minute increment after 9 hours will be charged $5, added to your Rover fee. • Drop-off time for boarding dogs is 7:00 am. • Drop-off time for daycare dogs is 6:30 am. • Dogs who have complex medical routines may be charged at a higher rate. • Please be honest with me about your dog’s potty issues, sleeping or barking issues, etc. It is important that your dog’s stay be a good fit for him or her and vice versa. **Holiday Rates (+$5 per day per pet) apply to: December 30-January 5 Valentine's Weekend (Thu-Mon) President's Day Weekend (Thu-Mon) Easter Week/Weekend (Thu-Mon) Spring Break Memorial Day Weekend (Thu-Mon) July 1-July 6 Labor Day Weekend (Thu-Mon) Indigenous Peoples’ Day/Columbus Day Weekend (Thu-Mon) Thanksgiving Week (prior Sat-following Mon) Christmas/New Year’s December 21-January 5 Pet safety is my first priority. A fenced yard lets dogs safely roam, and if owners prefer, dogs can also be leashed within the yard for additional precaution. The front door has a lockable screen door (weather permitting) or storm door, as well as the front door, which are always locked. My family and I come in through the garage. Escape-loving dogs don’t stand a chance here!
Reviews
This is the first time we used Rover and left our puppy with someone new. Laura made the process easy and comfortable. The daily pictures and updates gave us peace of mind. We highly recommend Laura!
Laura is amazing!! We have worked with her a few times now and each time goes great! Bella LOVES staying with Laura and her family. Bella gets loved on and I can tell every time she comes home that she is very happy to be there! I would highly suggest anyone work with Laura. :) You can tell she loves dogs and is so easy to work with!
We loved working with Laura! She was amazing with our dog and was so understanding with her being only 7months old and her first time away from us! Bella LOVED her time with Laura and her family. She was spoiled in the best way! It’s such an amazing feeling knowing your dog is being taken of so well and being loved on when you are out of town. We loved the daily pictures and how well she communicated with us as well. Couldn’t recommend her enough! ?
Laura did a great job caring for my dog. She was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. She also let me know he was doing well by sending pictures and updates!

Home
Information Laura L. would like to know about your pet
I would just like to know your daily routine. Where does she sleep? How do you know when he needs to go potty? How many treats can she have? Should we keep him off the couch & bed? Is your dog grumpy, friendly, lively, sleepy? Does she chase other dogs or jump on them? What does he bark at?Does she follow any commands? If so, what are they? Etc.
A typical day
We have two parks that are one or two blocks away. I walk my dogs there a lot. There's a nice walking path that connects the two parks. The walking path overlooks a pond. There's an additional walking path that overlooks another pond, and protected wetlands. We also walk through the subdivision. Our two dogs love to play in the yard together. Sometimes they will sit out front when my son plays football or basketball in the driveway.
