Loving, patient and reliable care

Pet care experience

I am a retired teacher who loves dogs! Your dog will become part of our family during their stay with access to a fenced yard, a neighborhood park, plenty of walks and lots of snuggles. We have a backyard deck and front porches perfect for lounging and watching the world go by. I would be happy to help take care of any dog that gets along well with other dogs. I have experience with many dog personalities and temperaments from volunteering at Austin Pets Alive and Hood River Adopt-A-Dog. My availability is flexible and I am typically home the majority of the day. I will send frequent pictures and updates while you are away. We are able to watch 2 dogs from the same family, but we do tend to only have pets from one family at a time. We will send a link for a brief survey when we receive your boarding request in order to help us get to know your pup better. We take walks in wooded areas, so we ask that visiting dogs be on a flea/tick preventative. Also, we ask that visiting pups be comfortable negotiating laminate stairs since we live in a 3 story house. Thanks! We are retired and so are available to care for your pup. We will take your dog for a daily walk at one of the many outdoor natural spaces that the area has to offer. We have a fenced back yard which is accessed from the 2nd floor. If your dog prefers to cuddle in a crate, we have a crate.

Perfect dog sitting experience. Essentially, our dog had her own vacation with daily adventures, play time and cuddles. Our pup was so relaxed and happy when we picked her up. Laura is great with communication, lots of good pics, and very understanding and flexible when we had a flight delay. Thank you so much!

Laura was absolutely outstanding, attentive, and sent us videos and photos of Ollie every day. We were very nervous given we have really never left only in a home situation before. He did absolutely wonderful, and we are very excited to have always day with Laura over and over again.

If you want your doggie to have as good a time as you when you visit the Hood River area then book Laura for your doggie day care needs. We had a great time and so did Tazzy. Laura kept in close touch during the day, was very flexible about drop off and pick up times and worked hard to see that Tazzy had a great time. Hopefully, we will get a chance to leave Tazzy with Laura again in the future.

Information Laura M. would like to know about your pet

Since we have a dog of our own and take the dogs for daily walks in public, we need to know that a visiting dog is good with other dogs. Personality/temperament, exercise preferences, feeding instructions. We live in a 3 story house, so it is important your dog is comfortable negotiating stairs. The fenced yard for potty breaks is accessed from the second floor with deck stairs.

A typical day

We will walk every day! Indian Creek and the Spit are favorite spots of ours. We have multiple porches and a back deck for hanging out and a little park across the street. One covered couch by the window is the designated dog couch that dogs are allowed on. Other furniture and beds in the house are people only.
