Pet care experience

Life wouldn't be worth living without dogs! I have been engaged in dog rescue for years, taking care of dogs ranging from a diabetic and blind Maltese to the most recent guy who was a 90 pound Lab. They are unique individuals who deserve love and respect. I believe in earning a dogs trust and unlocking that which makes him/her happy. I have a fenced yard and a neighborhood beach right across the road. There are lots of options for fun here — as well a a good snooze. My Kerry Blue Terrier is an excellent host and playmate as well. Please know that if we take field trips to the beach or the woods, your dog will always be leashed! If a dogs people tell me they like exercise, we can go swimming, walking around the neighborhood or walking on the nearby conservation trails. I am also equipped to care for dogs who are less energetic or have special needs such as med administration (including injections). I do ask that special needs be fully disclosed and discussed at the time of a booking request. I cannot accommodate dogs that are incontinent.

Laurie and her pups kept my girls safe, cozy, and well exercised. We were gone 11 days and I was worried how they would fare. As far as I can tell they had a wonderful time. Laurie was great about sending updates and photos. So glad to have found her!!

Laurie did a wonderful job taking care of Coco! She treated her like her own, and was good about sending me updates and pictures. Highly recommend, and will definitely use her again.

Laurie was great and my dog loved her stay there! We received frequent updates and there was great communication. She gave my dog lots of TLC and Laurie was very accommodating when our flight was delayed and pick up had to be changed. Highly recommended

Laurie took fantastic care of our dog. We boarded in her home for a two week trip and never worried about our Roxy being cared for. Laurie communicated frequently. And Roxy was happy and healthy when we picked her up. We would definitely return for dog care services.

Information Laurie B. would like to know about your pet

Because I have a dog, I need to know if your dog is dog friendly. I have gates that can keep folks segregated if need be but I would rather dogs that will be kind to my dog.

A typical day

Conservation trails are an easy walk away from my house. There are also great options for typical neighborhood walks. The beach is across the street for dogs who like to swim. I generally keep dogs on a long leash during such activities.
