Pet care experience
I've owned dogs my entire life and know how helpful it is to have someone you trust look after your best friend while you are away. I grew up with at least one dog in my home at all times, and now have two fur babies of my own who always want to play. I have years of experience taking care of not only my own dogs, but the pets of family and friends while they were away. Whether your dog needs constant affection (as mine do) or is more laid back, I will make sure to accommodate for his or her routine and needs. My ultimate goal is to make sure your dog receives the best care possible so that you can enjoy your time away :)
Reviews
Laura and her husband were absolutely wonderful! Our dog was there over Christmas and they had a hook for his stocking when we dropped him off! Really above and beyond. Easy communication, flexible, and they kept us updated with photos! Their dogs are so sweet and friendly as well, our dog was clearly comfortable with them from the first moments of the meet and greet. We’ll definitely look for them the next time we need someone.
Laura made everything easy for us. We were in a rush and Laura explained everything and made my dog feel right at home. Hope to call Laura again in the future.
Laura took on Dixie for the longest stay that Dixie has had with a Rover Dog Boarder to date and without a test stay prior. Obviously Laura and husband made Dixie feel right at home because she settled in with even the family's two dogs within 24 hours. Dixie almost seemed to hate to leave although she was glad to see me and ready to go to "her house." But Laura had taken excellent care of Dixie and treated her well because Dixie was very much at ease when I picked her up. I'd use Laura again in a heartbeat and already am making arrangements for two more trips and possibly a third this year. In addition I am very pleased with the set up that Laura has for handling boarded pets. I had a previous Dog Boarder with Rover and was afraid I would not find someone as good as the previous Boarder. Laura is not only as good as, but I feel is even better than my first experience with Rover. Yup, I'm VERY pleased.
Laura was great! She worked around my super unpredictable schedule to help set up a meet and greet (my dog isn't great with some dogs). She sent me photos and updates while I was away and when my flight was delayed 5 hours on the last night she let my dog stay for an extra night. She was great and I'm glad my dog got to stay somewhere where she had fun instead of a small kennel at a boarding facility.

Information Laura S. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know your dog's: - Temperament - Energy level - Normal routine - Dietary restrictions - Medication needs - Likes/dislikes
A typical day
When your dog stays with me, he or she can play and run in our fenced-in backyard. I also live in a very safe, quiet neighborhood with great sidewalks, so if your dog likes to go for strolls around the block, I can certainly do that. I also live about 10min away from Rocheport, so sometimes on the weekends we take the dogs for a long walk on the Katy Trail. If you think your dog would be comfortable going for a quick car ride to get to the trail I’d be happy to bring him or her along with us!
