Super Athletic Dog lover

Pet care experience

*now booking for Christmas/New Years* We are a dog loving couple who prioritize giving our dogs the best life possible. With moving to Colorado (husband is military) we try to spend as much time outside as possible with the dogs. Our dogs are very athletic so hiking, playing in the snow, and swimming are activities we try to do as often as possible. I'm an overly obsessed dog mom who will give someone else the care I would want my pups to receive. I’ll keep you updated with numerous photos and meal time updates on how your pup is adjusting. My dog Roo used to have terrible separation anxiety so I understand how hard it can be leaving a similar type dog and will work with your dog to feel safe and comfortable while you’re gone. I would love to care for a dog that would enjoy park/play time as much as Roo/Rhaegar/Riley and I do. We love playing fetch and are on a mission to find all the pockets of water and lakes in the area. I also have a soft spot for couch potatoes and especially senior dogs and would make sure their boundaries are respected by my dogs. Dogs are welcome to sleep in my bed, a kennel, one of our 11 dog beds, or on the couch, whatever they prefer. We have a large playpen if your pup wants their own area, and have an XL kennel if they do best crated. We have a large backyard with two dog houses and lots of toys and a kiddie pool. We did recently rescue a declawed cat who is amazing with our dogs. He stays upstairs which is gated off by a baby gate but we cannot accept prey driven dogs for his safety just incase. We spend a lot of time as a family watching movies and hanging inside at night, after playing fetch daily when we get home from work/school. We kennel Riley and occasionally kennel Roo/Rhaegar when we are gone and prefer dogs who are also kenneled or who are used to chilling home alone with free range.

Laura was great. She sent pics daily and I could tell Lou was getting lots of love from her and her husband. Laura was friendly and welcoming. She even dealt with a major change in the schedule.

I can’t say enough how amazing my experience was with Laura. She babysat my Chihuahua, Cocoa, along with my roommates two dogs (an XL pitbull and a pug) over Thanksgiving weekend. Laura was so attentive to Cocoa and the other dogs— she sent me pics everyday of Cocoa snuggling with her which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She is so patient, having dealt with each of these three dogs having accidents at some point over the weekend. She even offered to keep Cocoa an extra night because she knew I was returning really late and didnt want Cocoa to be by herself and anxious for too long. Laura truly loves all dogs, and her compassion, enthusiasm, and patience make her the best dog sitter I’ve had. I would absolutely recommend Laura to anyone who needs someone to watch their dogs. She is the best and you won’t have to worry about ANYTHING!
