Premium Boarding • Work-From-Home

🌿 Fully fenced backyard with premium pet-friendly turf for clean, year-round play—no muddy paws! I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Providing a safe, loving home away from home for your dog is something I truly enjoy. ⭐ Many of my guests are repeat visitors, and several families trust me as their regular sitter whenever they travel. I specialize in in-home boarding, where your dog becomes part of the family—not just another guest. Because I work from home full-time, your pup receives companionship, supervision, and attention throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. My home is a calm, comfortable environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel secure. My friendly standard poodles, Ellie and Forbes, enjoy having canine visitors and help many dogs settle in quickly. Why owners choose me: 🐾 Full-time work-from-home care 🐾 Limited number of guest dogs for personalized attention 🐾 Safe, clean, family-style environment 🐾 Regular photo and video updates 🐾 Plenty of affection, playtime, and companionship 🐾 Consistent routines to help dogs feel comfortable and at home I pride myself on providing personalized care and maintaining a small number of guest dogs at a time. This allows me to focus on each dog's individual needs, routines, and comfort level. Whether your dog loves to play, relax on the couch, or simply stay close to people, they'll be treated like family here. My goal is for both you and your pup to feel completely comfortable while you're apart. If you're looking for a reliable, experienced sitter who provides attentive, in-home care, I'd love to welcome your dog into my home! 🐾

Laura was absolutely wonderful! She helped us out with a last-minute booking, was very responsive, and sent lots of pictures and updates. She and her pups are so friendly and have a wonderful home. Oakley had so much fun! We will definitely be using Laura again.

Laura was amazing. We received pictures regularly of our pup living his best life. He was so happy at pick up but I think he may be sad to be home and not having fun with his other dog buddies. 😆

This was the first time to board our dog, Poppy, with a pet sitter. We were so happy with how well it went. We had a meet and greet day before we left on our trip. Visiting with Laura meeting her family and seeing how Poppy interacted with them and other pets was incredibly reassuring. Laura put us at ease with her gracious manner. Everyone got along fine. Laura was conscientious with instructions for Poppy and just treated Poppy as one of their pets. I'm very impressed with her care and with how Poppy felt so comfortable there. We will definitely call on Laura again. I would give her a 10 if I could. I highly recommend Laura M.

Laura did an amazing job watching my sweet bulldog, Winston. He is definitely high maintenance since he has to take four medication‘s daily and wakes up in the middle of the night to go potty, and she handled it like a champ! I don’t trust my pup with anyone else, but Laura!

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home full-time. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, companionship, supervision, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My own dogs, Ellie and Forbes, are an important part of my routine, so caring for pets is already built into each day. Guest dogs enjoy a comfortable home environment, regular outdoor breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. Because I am home most of the day, dogs are rarely left alone and can maintain a consistent routine, helping them feel relaxed and secure during their stay.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Because I work from home full-time, guest dogs receive close supervision, regular potty breaks, plenty of affection, and a consistent routine throughout their stay. I accept only a limited number of dogs at a time so I can provide personalized care and attention. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I carefully follow each dog's feeding schedule, routines, and any special instructions. I also provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident that your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day includes plenty of potty breaks, supervised playtime, relaxation, and lots of affection. Because I work from home full-time, guest dogs enjoy companionship throughout the day and are rarely left alone. Dogs can play with my friendly standard poodles, Ellie and Forbes, relax indoors, or simply stay close by while I work. I tailor each stay to the dog's personality and energy level, whether they enjoy playing, exploring the yard, or curling up for a nap. My goal is for every dog to feel comfortable, safe, and right at home while they're here.

Before booking, I'd like to know about your dog's personality, daily routine, feeding schedule, energy level, and how they get along with other dogs. I also have three cats in my home, so it is important that guest dogs are cat-friendly and can safely coexist with cats. Please let me know about any special needs, medications, anxiety, or behaviors that would help me make your dog's stay as comfortable as possible.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
