Your Dog's Vacation Destination

Hi Pet Parents, Thank you for taking time to review my profile. I have recently retired and these days I enjoy a quieter pace of life with my sweet 4-year-old dog, Tucker. He’s a small dog with a big heart, gets along wonderfully with other dogs and wants to make new dog friends. I live in the Double Diamond/ Damonte Ranch area of South Reno. I’ve had dogs my entire life and even spent a few years as a breeder, so caring for dogs comes naturally to me. I offer over night boarding and in-home doggy daycare. I live in a calm, quiet neighborhood that’s perfect for walks and playtime. Whether your dog needs overnight care when you are out of town, daily full time companionship or occasional drop in playdates, you can count on me to treat them like family. Looking forward to meeting you and your four legged family member!

Laura was wonderful and Millie was well taken care of while we were out of town. We got daily updates and photos/videos, which we love to get! Millie got a long well with Laura’s dog Tucker too and they seemed to become good friends before she left. We would definitely recommend Laura!

Laura is wonderful! She is warm and kind, and our dog had an amazing time with her and Tucker. She kept in contact and sent us pictures and updates while we were away which was greatly appreciated. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you so much, Laura! We think the world of you!

Safety, trust & environment

All pet care takes place in my home, where your dog will enjoy a calm, comfortable environment in a quiet South Reno neighborhood. I have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and a friendly dog, My dog Tucker, who gets along well with other pups, will befriend your dog and make them feel at home. I’m experienced with administering medications and can accommodate special routines or needs. Whether it’s for daycare (Monday–Friday) or overnight stays (available 7 days a week), your pet will be treated like family and given plenty of love, attention, and care.

Pets

A typical day

We have plenty of toys and a small yard for off leash playtime. In the warmer months the back door is left open for the dogs to wander in and out as they please. Weather permitting we like to take morning walks.
