Pet care experience

Your pup will feel right at home!🐶

We are are longtime dog lovers and have the perfect house and property to welcome your pup into their home away from home! Our pets are a part of our family with lots of toys and room to play in our 90ft×50 ft fully fenced in backyard. We also live on the border of country and city life and we love taking walks towards beautiful Mt. La Crosse. Goose Island is less than a mile away with tons more wildlife and tantilizing trails for 4 leggeds to explore. We are a family of 6 including 2 adults, 2 teens and 2 kids. All have grown up with pet responsibilities and have been taught to treat animals with respect and consideration. There is always an adult or responsible teen present at home when canines come to visit. We have a sweet adult pug named Tater Tot and a terrior/chihuahua mix named Penny. Both love hanging out with other dogs and kids!

Doggy Day Care • Jun 17, 2026

Laura has a lovely home, dog heaven. We could tell right away that dogs were the Priority. Cooper just loved their fenced in yard because after we picked him up, he slept for hours exactly what a mini golden doodle puppy needs for all that energy. We highly recommend Laura for pet sitting!

Laura and family were terrific! They were excited about playing with our dog and getting to know him. They communicated well with regular updates and occasional questions. They are very knowledgeable about dog behavior and tuned into his needs and health.

Laura and her family were so kind when watching Milo! He loved hanging out with their pug, Tater Tot. Laura sent many pictures of the adventure the Milo and their dogs went on together and kept me very updated. 10/10!

Safety, trust & environment

We have an ideal large fenced yard for dogs to explore and play in, and two small dogs who love to having buddies come to play. Being crate trained is also an important skill we look for in all our four legged friends for both their comfort and safety in the event we need to leave them home for short periods of time throughout their stay, or they need a place to relax and unwind.

We love to snuggle, wrestle, and include our dog guests in all kinds of shenanigans. We have a big yard for fetch, a great neighborhood for walks, and a county park within a mile of our house for longer adventures and endless interesting smells to explore.
