Pet care experience

My children are dogs!

Growing up with cats, I knew I wanted to be a dog person. I have rescued two dogs, both of which like to shadow us. I work from home next to an open doggy door all day. Our guests have access to a large fenced in yard, the opportunity to have some quiet time if they need it, and endless toys and bones to play with.

Laura is awsome! Communication was great! Laura sent me lots of photos of our giant Schnauzer and he was either cuddling with her or curled up in his bed all comfy! I hate to give a review of just how fabulous this was for fear that everyone will book her up and she won’t be available for me to use in the future😂

Laura was amazing!! I got so many pictures and she was so communicative. Her and Kyle really know what they’re doing. My dog loved them and their pups, too! Definitely will be using them again ❤️

Smitty really enjoyed his stay with Laura and I had a great vacation knowing that he was taken care of so well!! I got daily updates with photos which I loved. Smitty took a while to settle in, but Laura was so patient with him. She has two other dogs, and I know that Smitty got more attention than her own dogs. She has a great sense of humor and was really chill with him if there was an issue. He even came home with treats and a NEW TOY!! I want to plan another vacation just so Smitty can stay with her!

Laura was so amazing with my dog! She sent lots of pictures and gave her so much love and attention as if she were her own dog. I was nervous to leave my dog with someone else for the first time, but she could not have been in better hands. Laura has a great yard and a whole area dedicated to housing your pup. Would recommend her services to anyone!

Laura and her gang were great with our Dakota. She updated us often with texts and pictures. Dakota was happy and well cared for!

I consider my 2 dogs my children and I would entrust them in Laura's care without question. My one dog is a cranky 15 year old Dachshund (9 lbs) who has special needs and who doesn't warm to people easily. My other dog (65 lbs) has anxiety and some leash reactivity. Laura handles both of them exactly how I would, and is knowledgeable regarding reading body language and anticipating their needs while being very aware of keeping the dogs safe, engaged and happy. As a pet parent herself, her dogs are very well-trained and wonderfully cared for. Additionally, Laura is communicative and reliable; two things that are very important to me when leaving my "kids" in the care of someone else.

Schedule

Kyle and I are available often; the only restrictions we have include traveling that we do a handful of times throughout the year. When we aren’t traveling or working, Kyle likes to fish and I am focused on my art which takes place in my home.

Safety, trust & environment

We have very few restrictions in our house when it comes to the dogs. (I think our only restriction is to table food, they don’t get any.) They have free rein of our large, fenced in back yard. If a dog needs their space, they go to another floor. I have a door that separates upstairs and down with comfortable areas in both locations for them to be alone with toys, bones, dog beds, and human furniture with full and easy access to all. If I am downstairs (in my studio) they will be with me. From my studio, they have direct access to the backyard via doggy door which is almost always open.

Pets

A typical day

We enjoy doing whatever comes up. If the weather is nice, we will go play in the water, go for a walk, or just play outside. My dogs enjoy running in the backyard with other dogs. If it’s crummy outside, we will cuddle on the couch, chew on bones, or toss the ball around inside.

It’s important to know what motivates your dog (treats, praise, etc.) and also what makes your dog uncomfortable. Can I touch their paws, belly, etc.?
