Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet like my own, with safety and comfort always coming first. I live on a private five-acre property with a large, securely fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and enjoy plenty of space. Inside, pets have a calm, clean environment with cozy spots to relax, along with toys and attention. I always supervise outdoor time and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and truly cared for.

Information Laura P. would like to know about your pet

Before your dog’s stay, I’d love to get to know them a little better! Please tell me about your dog’s personality, daily routine, and anything that helps them feel comfortable in a new environment. How do they do around other dogs, cats, adults, and children? Are there any medical conditions, allergies, medications, or special care instructions I should know about? Does your dog have any habits such as digging, climbing, jumping fences, or trying to slip out doors or gates? If there are any fears, behaviors, or situations that make your dog anxious, please let me know so I can help them feel safe and relaxed. Feel free to share anything else you think would help me provide the best care possible during their stay!

A typical day

Every dog is treated like part of the family while they’re here. Their day is filled with plenty of love, attention, affection, and, of course, playtime! We’ll enjoy games like fetch (if they love to play), explore my large, securely fenced property, sniff all the interesting sights and smells, and relax with plenty of belly rubs and cuddles if they enjoy them. For quieter pups, I’m happy to provide a calm environment with cozy naps, gentle companionship, and even pet-friendly TV with birds, squirrels, or fish to watch. I always tailor each day to your dog’s personality, energy level, and routine so they feel safe, happy, and right at home.

Where Dogs & Cats Are Truly Adored

Pet care experience

If your pet could choose their own vacation, I’d love to think they’d choose my home. Animals have been my whole life. I’ve shared my life with dogs for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always been a part of who I am. Every wagging tail, happy zoomie, belly rub, cuddle on the couch, game of fetch, and quiet nap together is my favorite part of the day. Some people enjoy quiet houses. I love hearing paws on the floor. Your pet won’t be treated like a customer. They’ll be treated like someone I genuinely adore. I work from home, so I’m able to give dogs the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. My home sits on five peaceful acres with a large, securely fenced yard where they can safely run, explore, play, and simply enjoy being dogs, all under my supervision. I’ve also spent the past several years hosting Airbnb guests and caring for many of their pets, giving me experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. When your pet is with me, my goal is simple. I want them to feel safe, happy, loved, and excited to come back. I can't wait to welcome your best friend into my home.

If you're ever looking for a place for your fur kids to stay while you go out of town, I highly recommend Laura. I have 2 neurotic cats; 1 has CH that does not like getting confined in crates/small place and the other is spicy/moody. The stay was short with a (somewhat) unusual request, but Laura took them all in stride and went the extra mile to look after Sam and Cloud. Definitely one of my best rover experience and would not hesitate to ask her again in the future.

Laura was amazing with Zoey! She was able to sit for us on short notice and provided lots of updates while we were away. You can tell she really loves and cares for your animals. Would definitely use her again!

My cat was happy, and well taken care of. Ogden seemed to settle in quickly, and plenty of pictures were taken.

Laura loves pets heart and soul. She puts her everything into caring for them and making her space safe for them while they are in her care. She absolutely the best!
