Bronco’s visit with Laurie went great!! She was very attentive to him and responsive if I had questions and sent me pictures during his stay as well! She took him on walks and played outside with him—the perfect sitter for my little guy!

Laurie was professional and so warm and caring — Jax and Lola had the best time with her. It’s a relief knowing they were not only well taken care of, but also really enjoyed themselves. Thank you Laurie!

Laurie was absolutely phenomenal! She was very attentive to both Griffin and our needs! She was very accommodating and made us feel very comfortable leaving our “baby” for the first time! Will definitely use her for future needs!

This was our first time having Laurie watch our two dogs and we couldn’t be more happy! Laurie took care of them like they were apart of her family. They enjoyed walks and relaxing in her beautiful home and yard. Thank you Laurie!

Laurie is an awesome “host”! Very welcoming and comforting to our nervous dog. Good communication before and during his stay. Very much recommended!

Laurie provided a terrific second home for Daisy during our vacation. It was so nice to be able to board Daisy in a home instead of a business. The special attention and love she received from Laurie made for a much happier and less anxious dog on our return. We highly recommend Laurie and hope we have an opportunity to use her services next time we travel.

Schedule

When I care for your pet, I am virtually home and do not schedule anything during their stay. I do work early morning until early afternoon but then I am home. I am able to come home around 12 noon to let them out if necessary.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a double lot with a long lead, but I actually prefer using a leash and walking in the backyard for potty breaks. I also love to walk so I would like to be able to take your dog for walks or throw the ball in my yard if they are good being off leash. If your dog requires being crated just let me know.

A typical day

I enjoy playing fetch with dogs they get good exercise and love it. I also hike / walk every day and dogs love being outside getting excersise with me.
