Quality Pet Service
Pet care experience
We have owned pets for 20 years and have taken care of pets for friends, family and neighbors along the way. We love our pets and will love yours as well! We can provide care like feeding, watering, medications, cuddling, playing, walking, baths and more. In addition to our own pets and caring for pets of others we have also been volunteers at Petsmart in the catio, taking care of adoptable cats and kittens providing cleaning, food, water, play and plenty of love. Laurilee works on-call a couple of days per month as a RN. Travis works from home often throughout the week with a flexible schedule as a Consulting Forester. We have flexible availability for mornings after 10:30am and afternoons before 2:00 for walks and drop-ins about three days weekly, as we also care for our elderly grandmother. Evenings are a bit tight as we have our children's activities, however if you plan to be away for an extended period we can certainly accommodate evenings if multiple daily drop-ins is desired and we plan ahead. Just let us know! We are responsible and will honor the safety requests that you have for your pet(s) in your home and/or on walks. We will maintain a friendly and fun environment while keeping safety the #1 priority. Rover completed background checks on both Travis and Laurilee. We are happy to take care of additional tasks such as watering plants, checking the mail, taking garbage out on garbage day, etc. if you plan to be away for an extended period. Laurilee completed the American Red Cross Cat & Dog First Aid training course and Travis watched as well. Laurilee's name is on the certificate. In the case of an emergency we would contact you, your emergency veterinarian, and Rover immediately. We both have the American Red Cross Pet First Aid app downloaded on our smart phones for quick access for urgent care recommendations if ever needed, along with quick access to the Rover Guarantee webpage and emergency number.
Reviews
Thank you for taking great care of our pups during their mid-day walks! We appreciated you being extra patient with Evergreen, and giving them lots of treats!
They are highly reliable and communicative. They even seem to enjoy spending time with our dog! Laurilee brings her kids sometimes and her kids are the sweetest with our dog too. Lots of pets and lots of love.
Very communicative! They take good care of our little dog, send great pics, and walk her in the shade on hot days to keep her cool.
If you want to feel 100% confidence that you have left your dog in capable and loving hands, hire caregivers Laurilee and Travis. As pet owners themselves they have years of experience meeting their pets every need. They have provided years of excellent care for my dog, Beau, from his puppy years through his now senior time of life. He is always excited to see them, running to them, tail wagging! Seeing how eager he is to greet them makes it so much easier for me to leave him in another's care when necessary. An additional advantage to their excellent and meticulous care, is Laurilee's extensive training as a nurse should an emergency arise. For the very best in pet care, Laurilee and Travis are the perfect choice.

Safety, trust & environment
At this time we are unable to offer pet care service in our home. We have many of our own pets and children to consider.
Information Travis & Laurilee A. would like to know about your pet
What pet(s) would you like our help with and are there any specific requests? How does your pet handle being around children and other animals? Does your pet have any potentially risky behaviors (like aggressiveness, anxiety or wandering) and, if so, what triggers these behaviors and what helps soothe them? How would you like your pet rewarded for good behavior? Does your pet have any health issues (e.g., arthritis, allergies, etc.)?
A typical day
We would like to chat with you about what fun activities you do with your pet(s), if there is training you are working on with them, certain routines to play/walk time and destinations you would prefer for walks. Generally we walk pets in the local neighborhood but are open to taking them to nearby trails on certain days of the week pending weather.
