A family of genuine animal lovers

I have been an animal lover all of my life. Besides having a menagerie of animals at home: a lab, 2 cats, a bearded dragon, and a dove, I also watch my friends’ and family’s pets when they are away. I live with my three children, 11 year old twins and 13 year old, who are all animal lovers. Any dog that comes into our home will be well taken care of and most importantly loved. My own dog, a 6 year old lab, is friendly and gets along well with other dogs.

We have boarded our senior labrador with Laurie almost a dozen times. Laurie treats him like one of the family. She will always be our first choice when we have to board our boy.

We wanted a loving home environment for our lab while we traveled for two weeks. Laurie and her family provided just that. She kept us updated with regular photos. Our pup came home happy and well cared for.

Bruno loved his stay with Laurie, her family and dog, Phin. Bruno came home happy and relaxed. Laurie sent frequent photos and updates, which is always a comfort.

We had to leave our dog Johnnie for a long weekend journey. I was so happy to find Laurie W. She sent pictures to assure me Johnnie was adjusting fine. Our dog is very attached to us, and it is clear that Johnnie was well taken care of. Laurie's family including her dog a were extremely diligent and welcoming. I could not ask for more.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a quiet neighborhood and have a fenced in area that the dogs can play in. Besides taking them out, I will walk them at least twice a day. We also have a dog park down the street from my house, if that is something you are comfortable with.

A typical day

I live down the street from the new Framingham Dog Park and Cushing walking park which are great places for dogs if that is something you feel comfortable with. Also, my children love to play catch in our outdoor fenced in area with our dog. Besides that, any dog in my house will be loved, snuggled, and played with.
