🐾 Your Dog’s Home Away From Home (Spoiled Rotten Included!) 🐾 Hi there! I’m your dog’s soon-to-be second favorite human (I know… I’ll never outrank you 😄). With over 10 years of dog-sitting experience, my family and I have basically turned our home into a VIP doggy retreat—where belly rubs are unlimited, tails wag freely, and every pup is treated like one of our own. What your furry family member can expect: • 🐕 A loving, safe, family environment (aka… instant second family) • 🐶 Three built-in playmates! I have 3 friendly dogs of my own who LOVE making new friends and hosting the ultimate doggy playdates • 🌳 A fully fenced-in yard for zoomies, sniffing adventures, and squirrel surveillance • 🚪 Frequent potty breaks (because holding it is overrated) • 💻 A human who works from home, meaning your pup gets attention, supervision, and companionship all day long • 💤 Cozy spots for naps after a long day of being adorable We truly love opening our home to dogs—it’s like adding a little extra happiness (and fur) to our daily lives. Whether your pup is energetic, cuddly, shy, or a professional treat negotiator, we adjust to their personality and needs. Warning: Your dog may come home happy, tired, and possibly expecting the same level of service 😅 If you’re looking for a place where your dog will be loved, played with, and treated like family, you’ve found it. 📩 Reach out—I’d love to meet you and your furry best friend!

Laurie was very hospitable to my pitbull Crater. I had no worries of his safety or anxiety that he would have fun! Let Laurie and her family take care of your four-legged family member and you won’t regret it, thank you!

It was my first time using Rover.com. Laurie came through in a last minute pinch for me. She sent me a picture to show my dog was enjoying herself. Thank you, Laurie.

Laurie is so great! She sent me pics of my dog while I was away to show me he was happy and ok. I will definitely use her again.
