Where Pets Are Family

Hi, I’m Elle! With over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for animals big and small—from playful pups and cuddly cats to goats, peacocks, and everything in between—I offer pet care that goes far beyond the basics. Whether your furry friend needs a fresh groom, a daily walk, or overnight companionship, I provide reliable, loving service tailored to their needs. I’ve built my business on trust, patience, and a true passion for animals. Pets aren’t just clients to me—they’re family. When you leave your pet in my care, you can rest easy knowing they’re in safe, capable, and compassionate hands.

Charlie, Peanut, and Remy enjoyed their time at Laurel’s place. Laurel and her son, Eli, treated our dogs very well and communicated well throughout their stay.

I think everything went well while I was gone and the dogs seemed to have enjoyed Laurel and her son Eli, anybody who will get down on the floor with them is loved. We kept in touch while away and she had no problems with them except getting Georgia to eat, but she is always like that. Did a great job and stayed a bit later because my plane was delayed.

I was very pleased with the professional and friendly personality of Laurel. She showed up for a meet and greet and got along our puppies wonderfully. I was nervous about leaving them for the first time in their lives. They are older and set in their ways. She sent me pictures throughout the week I was away. I will definitely be booking her in the future for any trips I need or want to take.

Laurel has kept our dog for years. She is absolutely wonderful. She loves animals and gives Finley so much attention when she has her. Finley gets so excited everytime she sees Laurel.

Laurel is amazing! Our dogs are a small maltese mix and a large Bernedoodle. We had a negative experience at a local highly rated boarder, and was recommeded Laurel by a mutual friend. From the first phone call she has been incredible. Her kindness, patience and joy are evident. It's so refreshing to interact with someone like her and know your pups are in great hands. She is willing to pick our dogs up and bring them home if we are unable to take them to her. They get so excited to see her come! She mostly cares for them overnight in her home, but also occassionally cares for them during the day while we are away. Laurel has become like family to us and we highly recommend her services!

We have used her multiple times to watch our dog, Bella and I wouldn’t use anyone else! Bella loves going and I know she is always being taken care of! Would recommend to anyone who wants their fur baby to be loved on and cared for!

Schedule

Caring for animals isn’t just my job—it’s my full-time passion. Because this is my main focus, your pets receive my full attention, love, and care.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s comfort is my priority. During overnight stays, I offer baths, grooming, and cuddles—yes, they can sleep in the bed! I don’t use outdoor pens; instead, we enjoy playtime at the dog park and lots of indoor love. I care for each fur baby like they’re my own, giving them a safe, happy, and pampered stay.

A typical day

Each day is centered around keeping your pet happy, healthy, and comfortable. Morning walks, playtime, and fresh air start the day. Grooming sessions are gentle and thorough, making sure your dog looks and feels their best. In between, there’s plenty of one-on-one attention, whether it’s a quiet cuddle or a game of fetch. I tailor each day to fit your pet’s needs, so they feel secure, cared for, and right at home.

To provide the best care possible, I kindly ask that you share any important details about your pet in advance—such as allergies, medical needs, behavioral quirks, or routines they’re used to. Knowing these things helps me create a safe, comfortable, and personalized experience for your pet while they’re in my care. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority!
