Home FT, LG fenced yard, own 3 dogs

Pet care experience

I have owned dogs all my life. I run a photography business out of my home so flexible hours and home a LOT! We own 2 beautiful labs, 11 and 2 years old who love to have visiting dogs. Penny, the youngest, has LOTS of energy so loves to play with others! Husband also helps out with dogs. Very flexible schedule. Large fenced in backyard for playtime. Because Penny will be bred no unfixed males can be boarded and all dogs must be free of any viruses. Give us a call to inquire about how we can give your dogs the TLC they deserve! We COMPLETELY understand how important it is to know your dogs are being loved while you are away! A typical day includes meal time, playtime and rest time. I try to accommodate each visiting pup’s needs accordingly. If you have an older dog that likes to sleep…we have one too! If you have a puppy that likes to run….we’ve got one of those as well! To keep all dogs safe and secure, besides our fenced yard we also have crates/kennels for those pups who require them. All visiting pups must be up to date on vaccinations and carry no viruses. Please send or bring latest vaccine papers with you when boarding

Laurie is so nice and cares for my puppy just like it is her own. She is very easy to communicate with and is very good with pick ups and drop off times. I would always feel good about leaving my puppy with her.

Please let me know if your dog has any food allergies or any special needs. All pups must be up to date on vaccinations. No unfixed males can be boarded at this time due to our breeding pup Penny. ALSO we cannot take barkers or pups who cannot get along well with other dogs.

A typical day

All pups are treated like family. I try very hard to make sure I’m boarding dogs that get along and play nicely. It is my hope that when you pick up your furry friend they are tired and happy!
