Your dog(s) = our family

Hey Y’all! Allow us to introduce ourselves: Our names are Karl and Laura. We are two thirty-something’s who love animals. To us, dogs are family. We love spoiling our furry guests with lots of walks, playtime, treats, play - and of course— cuddles. We are experienced with all types of dogs — from Corgis to Great Danes. We also have experience with all ages and behavioral needs (especially social anxiety). Needless to say, we love dogs (especially golden retrievers) and are eager to meet yours. If you want your dogs to receive the love they deserve, consider hiring us. We will walk, visit, play, snuggle, or just watch your dogs while you're away. Feel free to reach out to make sure we are the best fit for your little friend. Your dog's needs will always be our top priority! P.S. As of this year, we have officially adopted our own furry friend, Jasper. Jasper is a 3yo golden retriever collie mix. He is exceptionally friendly with other dogs and would love to meet yours.

Laura and Karl were the best dog sitters we could have hoped for. It was our first time using Rover and they made us feel incredibly comfortable from the start. They boarded our dog at their home and we were able to do a meet and greet at their home so our dog could get comfortable, which was very beneficial when we dropped him off later. They clearly have a lot of an experience and are seasoned dog owners - our dog was completely happy staying with them, evidenced by the many photos we received of him taking walks and snuggling with them. We appreciated their communication and frequent updates throughout the stay. We would recommend Laura and Karl to anyone, and will definitely be using them again in the future!

Laura did an excellent job of puppy sitting. Our dog Poppy had a wonderful time with long walks and lots of attention. We will gladly use Laura for Poppy-sitting again!

Laura and Karl took wonderful care of our teenage golden. It was our first time leaving him with someone other than family and they were so prompt and provided a lot of updates. Although he was happy to see us when we picked him up, he was hesitant to leave Laura and Karl so we knew he had a blast during his stay! It’s such a good feeling to know your furry friend is well taken care of when you’re gone.
