The Gold Standard in Pet Care

MY CORE VALUES & MISSION- I am committed to setting the gold standard in premium pet care. Since my inception in 2016, my mission has been to provide unparalleled service, fostering a nurturing and trustworthy environment for my beloved four-legged clients. I'm dedicated, driven, professional, and passionate about delivering a customer-first experience, ensuring every pet receives individualized attention, love, and specialized care. I believe in building lasting relationships within my community rooted in reliability, expertise, and an unwavering commitment to the happiness and well-being of your pets. At Dog Days Pet Care, your pet is not just another customer; they are part of our family, and we promise to care for them with the utmost compassion and professionalism. And without the love and support from my husband Cliff, I would never have been able to accomplish all my achievements in my pet-sitting career. Love you, Hon!

Laurie was great for our golden retriever, Annie! She seemed to be very happy there and loved playing with the other dogs. We were sent pictures and updates while she stayed there for 2 nights. Definitely would love to have our dog stay there again!

When I dropped my dogs off for their second stay at Laurie’s they couldn’t get into her backyard quick enough. I think that says it all.

Schedule

Pet care is not just a job for me; it's a way of life. As a round-the-clock pet-sitter, my daily routine revolves around meeting the unique needs of my clients and their beloved pets. Unlike a traditional 9-5 job, my commitment extends from 7 am to 11 pm, seven days a week. I cover everything from dog walks to in-home visits, ensuring that I am available whenever my clients need assistance. Whether it's a brief overnight stay or an extended period of care, I am dedicated to providing continuous support for both my clients and their pets. My schedule revolves around the well-being and happiness of the animals I care for, and I take pride in being there for them whenever they need me. This isn't just a profession; it's a passion. I work tirelessly to accommodate the unique schedules and requirements of my clients, creating a seamless and reliable pet care experience. Living for this work means that I find joy and fulfillment in every interaction with the pets I care for, creating a harmonious blend of commitment, flexibility, and genuine love for what I do.

Safety, trust & environment

Caring for the pets in my home is not just a responsibility; it's a commitment to providing a safe, enjoyable, and nurturing environment for every furry friend. I've taken extensive measures to ensure the well-being of the pets in my care. First and foremost, my home is meticulously puppy-proofed with dog-friendly and secure equipment to prevent any unwanted behaviors or accidents. This proactive approach minimizes the risk of pets getting into things they shouldn't and creates a secure space for them to thrive. Given that not all dogs may get along perfectly, I have incorporated the use of dog crates. This allows me to separate dogs when needed, ensuring a harmonious and stress-free environment for everyone. Safety and the happiness of each pet are my top priorities. I've also made a significant investment in creating an outstanding outdoor space for playtime. A backyard renovation costing $20,000 reflects my commitment to providing the most amazing and fun play experience. This includes additional fences, double gates for added security, and the entire yard has been astroturfed. The astroturf not only enhances cleanliness but also ensures no muddy paws at Laurie's. The health and safety of the pets in my care are paramount, and this investment reflects my dedication to creating a top-tier play area. Ultimately, the pets in my home receive not only the essentials of care but also an environment crafted with their happiness and well-being in mind. It's more than just a space; it's a home where pets can feel comfortable, secure, and have a blast during their stay at Laurie's.

A typical day

A typical day at Laurie's is nothing short of a delightful experience for your furry friend. From the moment your dog arrives, we embark on creating a lasting bond, ensuring they always feel loved and cared for during their time with us. Our day kicks off with an ample amount of potty time – a crucial aspect of their routine. We believe in providing them with a comfortable and stress-free environment right from the start. Playtime is woven throughout the morning, afternoon, and into the evening, and here's where the personalization comes in. We tailor their experience to be geared towards your dog's age, size, temperament, and exercise level. Whether it's engaging in playful activities, enjoying the outdoors, or simply lounging around, we make sure the day aligns with what suits your dog best. For those having a sleepover with us, rest assured they'll sleep like a baby – and so will we! Our goal is to create an atmosphere where your dog feels safe, happy, and healthy, all while having more fun than you did on your vacation. We like to consider their time with us as a vacation of their own, filled with joy, companionship, and the utmost care. And here's the big no-no – your dog is not left outside all day. We understand the importance of balancing playtime with adequate rest. After a ton of playtime, we provide some nap time. Just like at home, this gives your dog the chance to recover, ensuring they are ready to play again when they wake up. At Laurie's, each day is crafted to provide an enriching experience for your beloved pet, ensuring they not only receive the care they need but also make the most of their time with us. Your dog's well-being is our top priority, and we strive to make every day a tail-wagging, heartwarming adventure.
