Loving Care When You’re Not There
Hi there! I’ve been caring for small to medium-sized dogs for over 15 years — from playful pups to sweet seniors up to 14 years old. I’ve handled all kinds of care, including giving meds and helping dogs with special needs (my own one-eyed senior dog taught me so much about patience and unconditional love!). I treat every dog like part of my family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, belly rubs, walks, or cozy cuddles, your pup will always have fun and get plenty of attention. You can count on me to care for your dog as if they were my own — with kindness, reliability, and lots of tail wags!

I can’t say enough good things about Stella and Chad! They are kind, responsible, communicative, and it’s no exaggeration to say they really treated my pup like he was their own. It is such a relief to have found such caring and excellent pet care for my pup when I’m out of town. Already planning to book again soon! Big thanks for taking such good care of my furry guy! <3
Thank you, Stella (Laura) and Chad for keeping Oreo safe and happy over his stay. I could tell that Oreo immediately felt comfortable the first time he met you. I really appreciated all the pictures and videos you sent. Stella took him on tons of walks, which are his favorite and even gave him a sweet scarf that he looks so cute in. I know Oreo had tons of fun. They even taught him some tricks! Thank you again to you both.
Stella and her husband were great! They took amazing care of my Maxie on extremely short notice. Sent me lots of photos and seem like really solid people. Already planning to rebook!
Stella (Laura) and Chad are the absolute BEST!! They watched our 8 year old French bulldog for a long weekend and from the minute I dropped her off she loved them both and seemed right at home which made me feel so comfortable. They took such good care of our dog, taking her on at least 3 walks a day, tons of pets and cuddles. They sent me tons of updates and photos all day which I absolutely love and I could tell our dog was right at home and so happy while we were gone. I am already booking Stella and Chad for another upcoming sit. Highly recommend them!!
Laura and Chad took such good care of Rocco while I was away. They followed specific instructions and make sure he was well cared for. I love how he easily warmed up to them and I could tell he had a good time when I picked him up. I highly recommend them! 10/10
Our dog loved Laura, she made sure to send lots of updates and pictures which we really appreciated. We don't use rover too often and this was a great experience for us. She listened to us and genuinely tried to get to know our pup. We had a meet and greet prior to booking an overnight stay. Stevie warmed up to Laura quickly and they had a great time together we will definitely be booking with Laura moving forward.

Schedule
Pet care is a big part of my everyday life! I love spending time with dogs — going on walks, playtime, feeding, and just giving them attention and affection. I plan my days around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get consistent routines, exercise, and love. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening cuddle time, I truly enjoy every moment. Taking care of dogs isn’t just something I do — it’s something I love, and it naturally fits into my daily routine.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When I care for pets, I always focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved — just like they would at home with their family. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any medications or special needs they may have. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality — whether they love playtime, belly rubs, or just quiet company — and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. In my home, pets have a cozy, clean space to relax and play, and in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. My goal is always to make every pet feel happy, secure, and cared for while their family is away.
A typical day
Every day with a dog is the best kind of adventure! We’ll start the morning with a good walk to sniff all the best spots in the neighborhood (because every blade of grass tells a story, right?). Then it’s playtime—fetch, tug-of-war, or whatever game gets those tails wagging. I love keeping pups active, mentally active, happy, and feeling loved, whether that means a brisk walk, a backyard romp, or a cozy cuddle session for my more chill buddies. Of course, there will be treats, belly rubs, and lots of happy chatter (I definitely talk to dogs like they’re people 😄). By the end of the day, your dog will be one content, sleepy pup—mission accomplished!
