Laura & Lawrence can host
Availability
We are available full-time to provide pet care. Occasionally, I freelance from home--where I make and sell custom-fit dog wear, including alterations on existing doggie wearables. My husband is retired, so we have very flexible schedules to accommodate and host our Lapdog friends. We can host up to three Lapdogs per day/night. We also can do 'drop-in' visits to your home, for both small and medium size dogs.

Safety, trust & environment
Well, around here, it's safety first! We host only Lap-size dogs up to 18 lbs. (Also, we only take small breed puppies.) Ours is a child-free home, with a fully-fenced backyard. We can host up to three dogs per day/night. I always sleep in the same room with our visiting doggies--either on our comfy sofas, or our king sized bed. My husband is a retired Registered Nurse. Please be mindful that visiting dogs need to be current with vaccines, flea & tick prevention, and an identity tag. We also have zoned heating and air conditioning throughout our house. There's several doggie-beds, toys, and crate (if requested) or feel free to provide your own. Also, we want to know about anything you think would be helpful in making your Doggie's visit a successful stay. We offer lots of love, cuddles, and belly rubs!

Information Laura & Lawrence L. would like to know about your pet
We like to keep our fur babies comfortable, so please let us know if your doggie has a favorite sweater, blanket, or other item that keeps them happy. My husband (Lawrence) is a retired Registered Nurse, so together, we are capable of administering medications and/or injections your doggie may need. Also, we want to know about anything you think would be helpful in making your Doggie's visit a successful stay!
A typical day
Our days basically evolve around the individual personalities of our visiting dogs. We play inside and outside, and we lounge on our sofa and/or bed. A typical day also depends on how long of stay a dog is spending with us. We often go on neighborhood walks. Also, our front and back yards are a maze of rock garden islands, with excellent surroundings to explore without ever leaving the property.

Pet care experience
Growing up with pets, I learned at a very young age, that our family dog did not like being ridden like a horse! While I've been around dogs all my life, most of my experience has been acquired during my adult years. I (Laura) am a freelancing Designer, and my husband (Lawrence) is a retired Registered Nurse. Together we have many years of experience raising our own family dogs: First we had a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, then two Yorkshire Terrier's, and currently a Pomeranian mix... ...We also raised a couple of boys, and their motley-menagerie of creatures. I think my heart doubled in size, when I realized I could combine two of my favorite passion's; hanging out with furry little Lapdogs, and creating miniature fashion's for Sport! I also really enjoy doing 'Street' photography of doggies and their humans. Dogs bring us so much joy, we just love making a fuss over them! We live near Downtown Cottage Grove, in one of it's walkable historic neighborhoods. Ours is a child-free home, offering 'Boarding' and 'Daycare' services--hosting only small lap-size dogs up to 18 lbs. Additionally, we also do 'Drop-in' visits in 'your' home for small and medium size dogs. Our fully-fenced backyard features a variety of tree's and flower gardens, with lots of room to romp and play. It's complete with a covered patio that provides protection from rain or sun year around. Most importantly, we want you to feel worry-free, while we keep your doggie safe and happy!
Reviews
I don’t own a dog myself, but I’ve seen firsthand how patient and caring Laura & Lawrence are with my friend’s and family member’s pups. They are reliable, attentive and clearly love animals. If I ever get a dog, I’d feel completely comfortable trusting them in their care!
They are my folks, they do great with my two dogs, and have always been a reliable home for them when we are out of town. Both of our dogs are rescues and have always had some general anxiety that shows in different ways. They both do really well integrating into their home and can have space to themselves or constant attention, as is the case with our Chihuahua. Whenever we pick the dogs up, our Chihuahua likes to have us believe that she actually lives with them and refuses to come home with us. It's such a relief knowing that they have a good place to stay when we're away.
Laura has been incredibly caring, reliable and communicative when watching my 2 dogs. They have revolving needs regarding diet, medication, injuries, etc. and she is always detail oriented and thorough in making sure she understands their needs. The outdoor space available to the dogs is perfect - she can see them at all times and there is ample space for them to play and do their business. Her little fluffy dog Lilah is also so very cute and fun for my more playful dog to play with. I feel so lucky to have Laura watching my pups! I know when they are with her that they are happy, well cared for and getting lots of love.
