Pet care experience

🐾 About Me Hi there! I’m Laurie, a lifelong dog lover offering in-home doggy daycare in a calm, loving environment. I work from home full-time, which means your pup will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day—no long hours alone. Whether you need care for a single day or multiple days, I’m happy to provide a safe and cozy place for your dog to relax and feel at home. We have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, potty breaks, and a little playtime in the fresh air. ⸻ 🐶 My Experience My husband and I were proud lab parents for many years, caring for our two sweet senior Labs through all stages of life. After saying goodbye to them, we’re taking a break from full-time pet ownership—but we truly miss the joy dogs bring into a home. That’s why I decided to open my home to care for others’ pets. I’ll treat your dog like family—with patience, love, and lots of attention. ⸻ 🏡 What Your Dog Can Expect • A quiet, comfortable home environment • Constant supervision (I work from home!) • A secure, fenced-in yard • Plenty of affection and companionship • Full access to the couch—and yes, even the bed if they’re used to it! ✨ I only host one family at a time (up to 2 dogs max), so your pup gets a calm, personalized, low-stress experience with plenty of one-on-one attention. ⸻ ❤️ A Good Fit I’m a great fit for dogs who: • Enjoy a calm, home-based environment • Prefer smaller groups over busy boarding facilities • Love human companionship (and maybe a cozy spot on the couch!) ⸻ 📅 Availability Flexible for single-day daycare or multi-day stays. Feel free to reach out with your needs—I’d love to chat and see if we’re a good match!

Laurie was a fantastic sitter for Loki. Right away he took to her like (insert favorite positive colloquialism here) and was very happy when we came back for the actual booking. Many pictures during his stay reinforced the knowledge he was having a great time. Definitely worth it and I’ll try to rebook during my next vacation need.

Laurie always takes good care of my pets when I'm away, for days at a time or just the afternoon. She follows my rules for each pet (dog/cat/exotics) and has a good relationship with each! Laurie is very prompt with responses and always sends photos when I'm away from my pets.
