Pet care experience

Lets Walk, Play, Come Over or Stay!

I have been a pet owner my whole life. I brought my first dog home from a county fair in secret at the age of 10 haha but thankfully my mom was a dog lover as well and we already had other pets as well. I grew up on a hobby farm with dogs, cats, horses, sheep, cows and goats, pretty much everything! I have experience with all kinds of dogs including puppies and seniors. I have raised foster litters of puppies with special needs and have done lots of pet sitting for family and friends over the years as well.

We felt our dog was well cared for, we were happy with the amount of pictures and updates we received. We will use Laura again in the future!

This was the first time anyone other than family has watched our Cooper so we were a little nervous. We’re happy to say everything went perfectly! We received regular updates and pictures throughout his stay which gave us peace of mind. Cooper came home happy, relaxed and tired from all the fun he had playing with Harley and the kids. He was obviously well cared for and truly enjoyed himself. We couldn’t have been happier with the experience and would absolutely trust them with Cooper again. Highly recommend!

I am a stay at home Mom to 3 children and we homeschool as well, so I am home full time. My schedule is very flexible so I am able to meet most pet care needs, even last minute or schedule changes. We also offer a free bath if your pet is well mannered for bathing :-)

Safety, trust & environment

I have 3 young children in my home who love pets, and have been taught how to respect their space, but to safely love on them and play with them. I request only animals that are good with children. I have a fenced in dog run off the side of my house, and additionally a big back yard to play in. I have my own Border Collie/Australian Shepherd neutered male who is super dog friendly and loves to play. The dogs can be separated in my home if need be, or together if you prefer. I ask that all dogs be flea treated with a product like K9 Advantix, Frontline, or Revolution prior to your meet and greet or dropoff. I like to make sure our household stays a safe space for our pets, your pets, and my family.

Pets

A typical day

In my house, I typically have playtime with our dog right after breakfast and would love to treat your pup like part of the family! Our Border Collie has a need for a lot of mental and physical stimulation, so we go on walks, play fetch and games of chase multiple times a day. If your dog has specific needs that are greater or less than that, please let me know and I am happy to accommodate whatever makes your pup feel at home.

If your pup has any anxiety or special needs, please help me understand how to best make them comfortable and happy. Please.... Let me know of any behavior that may arise, such as food aggression, jealousy, or loud noises. Especially if your dog is a marker. If so please bring some belly bands. They are available on Amazon, or local let stores.
