I have a fully fenced in, private backyard off of a quiet street that is perfect for lots of running around with my 3 dogs, who are incredibly friendly and get along with dogs of all ages and sizes (and are great at tiring out puppies!). My dogs are crate trained and usually are in their crates at night and when I am away for more than a couple hours, and I would be happy to do the same or whatever is preferred for yours.

Information Laura S. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any allergies, food aggression (or triggers), if they can have treats and if so what kind, how they are on a leash/off leash, if they are allowed on furniture or not, if they need to be kept separate from my dogs for some reason, plus anything else you think is relevant for me to know.

A typical day

Some of my favorite spots to bring dogs including Kiva beach and any hikes that involve open meadows and alpine lakes, the dog park at Bijou (if appropriate for the right dog), and sunsets at Round Hill. I also love to paddle board and would gladly take another dog with me, since mine hate the water.

Active animal lover based in Tahoe

Pet care experience

I live in a private home with a large, fully fenced-in yard off of Ski Run Blvd with 4 female rescues. I have had and cared for dogs (large and small) as well as cats for 13 years and am loving, patient, and responsible. I love to get outside for runs down to the beach or to go hiking in the area, and try to bring at least one dog with me on every adventure. I have raised both puppies and cared for elderly dogs, including my own Golden Retriever Stewie who sadly passed away two years ago at the age of 12. I look forward to meeting and caring for your furry family members as well as I do my own!

Laura was great with Gizmo. She is very responsive and sends photos. We felt at ease leaving our pup for a few hours while we hiked when visiting Tahoe. Thank you Laura!

We absolutely would leave our dog Olive with Laura again! We appreciate that she took Olive out for walks and just didn't keep her inside. Laura was great to work with. Thank you!
