Pet care experience
Love animals and have been around them my whole life! My most recent pet is Sammy a 14 yr. old Golden Retriever. She has become my 80 yr old mother's companion and is now living with her to keep her company. I am missing not having an animal in my life and would love to spoil yours while your away. My husband and I are both retired and are home during the day. I have a small yard that is fenced in. The patio is concrete but I have a walking path right behind my home with lots of grass and shade. I love to walk so your pet will go for multiple walks throughout the day and get as much exercise as he/she likes or needs. I am also willing to come to your home and walk your dog during the day if your animal is more comfortable in their own environment. I only take 2 dogs at a time. Depending on when you book with me and how your dog behaves with others would be the deciding factor. I have found that even dogs that owners think don't get a long with others seem to do wonderfully when they come into a new environment. I charge $40.00 a day not a nightly fee.

Laurel took amazing care of Sierra, who instantly felt comfortable in her home! I appreciated getting the photo update. We will for sure book with Laurel again!
Laurel is an amazing dog sitter! She treated my Rocky as if he was her own. He is a very nervous dog, so we set up a meet and greet and she took the time to allow him to get comfortable in her home. During my trip, she sent me pictures and updates on how he was doing. His stay with Laurel was as stress-free as possible! I knew he was in good hands!
Excellent communication including sending lots of pics for us. Made our dog feel right at home and treated him well. Would recommend and would use for dog sitting again!
Laurel was great with my crazy overgrown anxious puppy. He can be a lot to handle and she was wonderful. I would highly recommend her and would absolutely let her watch my dog again. Not sure she'd have him back though, lol!

While in my home I go by the philosphy my home is their home. I let the dogs do what they do at your house. I do not cage unless you cage. They are allowed on the furniture and if they sleep with you I let them sleep with me. (unless they are just too big) I try to keep everything as normal for your pet as possible. I want them to be comfortable and happy while your away.

Information Laurel S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know what kind of dog you have, if it is house broken, how old he or she is and if they are spayed/neutered. I will be happy to meet you and your pet for a free meet and greet before we agree to any services. I love all dogs! Doing this job makes it even more fun for me to experience so many dog breeds that I may never have gotten the opportunity to do. I have raised several golden retrievers so they do hold a special place in my heart.
A typical day
They will get out for lots of walks on the bike path behind my home. There are many other friends they will meet during our walk. (if they choose) We have a doggie fountain where we stop for drinks on those hot days. Depending on your pet I love to go to the beach and hike or take a ride to the dog park and meet other friends. I am very active and am up for anything that your dog may like to do.
