Our family loves caring for pets!

Pet care experience

I've grown up with both dogs and cats and could not be without them--they make life so much better! I currently have one friendly dog (German Shepherd) and two indoor/outdoor young cats. My husband and I did do a lot of training with our dog, so we could continue these efforts if you are currently training a younger pup. I have experience giving oral and topical medication for both dogs and cats. I also love exercise and being outdoors--if your pet loves walks or going outside then they will love it here! If caring for pets in your home, I'm happy to follow your normal routines so we can minimize the amount of stress your babies face while you're gone.

Lauren always goes above and beyond when taking care of our sweet boy! Detailed updates and many photos - we know he’s always in good hands.

Lauren did a great job with our cats. Very friendly and responsive. She left a very detailed not about the visit and took lots of pictures. I highly recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment

For boarding, we like to give your family pet(s) full attention and only accept one pet family at a time, unlike others that may board from multiple families at a time. Although we do not have a fenced in yard, we can provide a long lead for your pet to enjoy the outdoors if he/she may be apt to wander off if not secured. Our dog is used to the boundary on our electric fence and therefore always stays around the house when outside. There is a community park less than a mile from our house and we will often hop in the car to go there for longer walks during the day--this is certainly an option if your dog loves walks on the leash. We do not typically allow dogs on the furniture, but do make exceptions for smaller pups. We do allow cats on the furniture. Our dog is crate-trained and sleeps in her crate at night, but we can certainly accommodate a dog that prefers a dog bed and a little more space to move around.

Information Lauren & Darin S. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any aggression issues, please let me know. I will work to slowly introduce pets and separate them as needed as they're getting used to each other. Our cats are often outside or in the garage, so if your pet is not friendly with kitties then this is not a problem.

A typical day

We love being outside, and do make a point to go out even during the colder months (even if just for a little bit!). During warm days, we often spend much of the day out back at our house--on the porch or in the yard. There is lots of opportunity to explore outside--your pet will love it here! Inside, we have a basket of toys ready to play with (though we'd love it if you brought your pet's favorite!), and we are often playing on the floor with our pets.

I am a stay-at-home Mom, though my kids (7 and 5) do attend school full time. Therefore, my daytime schedule is very flexible and I can adjust as needed based on your pet's needs.
