I'm retired and looking forward to have dog guests. If you vacation during the summer months this will work well for you. In the house is great too. All my dogs have been indoor dogs.

A typical day
My Citrus Heights yard is big enough to accommodate one or two dogs. It sits on 9/10's acre lot. We have 6-8 ft and higher fence giant). I have squirrels they will probably chase along fence line. But. I will be with them as they explore the backyard. The dogs enjoy sleeping until 8:00 am usually, then outside for coffee and a walk around the property and hang out in the outside Cantina while the pet explores. Mid day treat and playtime. Depending on the temperature we might spend a half hour in the enclosed and gated front yard and watch people walk by.

Pet care experience
Updated: 2/16/2026 - I home sit (for overnights) at my home in Citrus Heights on almost an acre for clients who need dog sitting up to 2 dogs or 1 dog and 1 in house cat (spayed or neutered). I only sit one client at a time with one or two pets so I can give them full attention as I am retired.. Cats will be in outdoor cat condo under carport at this time. I don’t book out farther than 90 days. Additionally, I do drop-in's from 9 am to 5 pm daily. NOTE: I home care dogs in Citrus Heights (near Antelope & Sunrise). I've owned a couple of pure breed German Shepherds and a few rescue German Shepherds, a Golden Retriever, and a medium mix dog. I've taken some doggie training classes. There are two other adults who live with me (dog lovers). Non-smoking house. Dogs are provided Britta filtered water. Let me know your dog's preferences for playtime... Frisbee, ball toss, tug toys, etc. for overnights (please provide the food). Look forward to meeting your sweet dogs. I do walk about around my large backyard on leash if you prefer your dog to keep up with walking training. It's a bit like a track in the backyard. Cats will be outdoor under a structured carport in a cat condo (with litter box access). I'll update you wtih daily photos. I can’t accept Pit Bulls, Doberman Pinchers, or Rottweilers for insurance reasons.

Reviews
We had an amazing experience with Laurie while we were on vacation! She took exceptional care of our German Shepherds and made us feel completely at ease. Every day, she sent us lovely pictures of our dogs playing and having a blast, which really warmed our hearts. Our pups absolutely loved their time with her, and it was clear they were happy and well-cared for. We would not hesitate to use her services again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Laurie, for being so wonderful with our babies!!
Laurie did a great job with Kilo!! She kept me up to date and gave me lots of pictures! She has an amazing and large home perfect for any pet, large or small.
Great pup vacation. Taro had the best R&R and a lot of loving attention. I could tell he felt right at home and loved all of the green space with shade. He can’t wait to come visit again.
Laurie was great! My dog loved her as soon as he met her. She checked in with pictures and even gifted us some supplements to help with our boy's dry skin. You can tell she is an animal lover through and through.
