I currently work from home part-time and volunteer a few hours in the week. I mostly work from home as an insurance broker and am off on the weekends. I have plenty of time to entertain and play with your fur babies. The most popular service booked is overnight boarding. Come meet my family and pets, and see if your dog loves our family just as much as we love having them.

I treat the dogs like family and they can sleep wherever they feel most comfortable. I have 3 dog beds in my livingroom, they can sleep in my bedroom or I have 3 kennels. During play time, I have a fenced in yard and a fenced pool area. I do flexible feeding arrangements for dogs who need to eat seperated from other dogs. I usually do 1 booking at a time.

Information Lauren N. would like to know about your pet

I require all dogs to be vaccinated and actively be on flea prevention. I do not accept dogs with intestinal parasites. It is county law that all pets have a current license and rabies shot.

A typical day

They will run and play in my .42 acre privacy fenced yard, fetch balls, and go for a swim in the pool if it's a swim day. They can then choose to relax on the rug in front of the TV while munching on their favorite chew toy. If it's winter time, they can relax by the screened fire place and listen to Christmas music while getting a belly rub. Add-ons: I provide a full bath service with their stay for an additional fee of $10 for puppies and small, short hair breeds, $20 for medium size and/or hair length, and $30 for shaggy or long hair breeds and very large dogs.

Pets

I treat 'em like family!

Pet care experience

I have 1 sweet dog who loves other dogs, a large fenced back yard, doggie door, chew toys galore, treats, a swimming pool where the pooches go for a swim if they love water, and I have an energetic 9 year old that loves to play with our dogs and will give your dog(s) the exercise they need. Have your loved ones come join us for fun and play without being cooped up in a kennel all day. I will give your dog the comfort and love they deserve. I also play calming music for dogs and puppies if they tend to be anxious. I will provide basic obedience training for FREE if your dog boards with us and needs it. Your pooch will be in good hands with my pack and I. Photos of them will be posted on Rover or texted to you during their stay.

Lauren and her son were great with my dog Rue, I was sent many pictures and updates of Rue playing and enjoying her time there. Also the fact that Lauren only schedules on customer at a time was a very large plus for me.
