Laurel W.'s Home

I am big-time dog lover who recently started working from home but am available for plenty of belly rubs and attention-giving. I have one gentle, small dog of my own who gets along well with others . Your dog will get great care and a supervised backyard break every 2 hours. I keep the number of dogs that I care for to one or two so they get the attention they are used to at home. I have no children in the home and the environment is very quiet and safe for any dog. Drop off and pick up times are flexible. I realize how important it is to leave your pet with someone trustworthy and caring.

Laurel was so wonderful with our Lola. She sent us photos and kept us updated on how our dog was doing. We felt reassured knowing that she was in good hands. Thank you!

Laurel was a wonderful sitter. She kept me informed and sent pictures during Milo's stay. I will use her again if I have the chance. She didn't mind that Milo snored!

Laurel did a wonderful job of caring for our Laila! Laila went on walks every day and Laurel let us know each day how great Laila was doing and sent pictures. Her dog Lolita is very sweet and even helped Laila learn how to be more confident on her walks. I highly recommend Laurel!

Doggy Day Care • Jul 20, 2023

Laurel and her home were a perfect daycare spot for Sophie during some home construction. Both yard and her furniture were set up for doggie company. I appreciated Laurel being affectionate with Sophie as that is what our dog loves!

Laurel was wonderful. Gave us updates everyday. Maddy was so good when we took her home so she was relaxed and happy. I would use Laurel again.

Schedule

I work from home during the week and have a flexible routine on the weekends. My own dog currently gets a walk in AM, on my lunch break and in the evening too if time permits. I vary this schedule according to the weather and am aware of the need for a very early AM walk in the summer because of the heat.

Safety, trust & environment

The dogs do not go into my yard unsupervised and my yard is fenced. I do not have a doggy door so if they are outside I m too. I live in a very safe, gated community.

Pets

A typical day

I like to walk my dog around the neighborhood because it is safe and gated. It is well-lit but I only walk my dog in daylight. There are some nice parks and green areas around where I keep her on-leash.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs

Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat

I would have to know how the dog behaves with my own dog who is very passive and submissive. It is important to know feeding schedule, if it is leash trained and likes walks and sleep habits of course too.
