“Lauranne was absolutely wonderful with my dog. I received frequent updates and photos throughout the day, which put my mind at ease. I was especially impressed with their patience in dealing with his picky eating habits, which can be a challenge. It was so clear how much she cared for my dog, and I came home to a happy, tired pup. Highly recommend! Laurie is the best! I finally found a trustworthy, caring boarder! Thank you so much Laurie! I appreciate you! I will definitely get on your schedule for future getaways!”
“wow, what an incredible caretaker she is, I’m from Los Angeles and had to come in town for a month and a half to shoot a movie and was terrified that I wouldn’t be able to find someone I trusted to watch my six month old puppy while I worked 12 hour days on set Kaitlyn has been nothing but and a lifesaver for me I wholeheartedly trust her with Ivy and my dog So excited and happy every time I go to drop her off with Kaitlyn and so happy and well taken care of every time I pick her up!! Thank you so much Kaitlyn for being such an amazing animal lover, 10 out of 10”
About: I’ve taken care of and loved dogs since I was 13. My family had an Australian Blue Heeler, Irish Wolfhound, Rhodesian Ridgeback, and Boxers. I currently have two Bernese Mountain Dogs who are the loves of my life! I have experience with dogs as small as Chihuahuas and large as my Berners. I spend a lot of time playing, training, and walking/hiking with the dogs I care for. I like to keep them engaged! I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which gives me the ability to care for and play with my own dogs and your dogs. Dogs have improved my life immensely, and I try to repay the unconditional love by providing them with an awesome day, every day. I have a fenced in yard and two animal loving Bernese Mountain Dogs to keep your family happy and engaged. Juli is 4 years old and incredibly gentle with all living things. Cooper is 9 months old and definitely a big puppy. I also have room dividers/doggy gates if your pup needs space or time alone. We love going on walks and taking hikes in the surrounding parks, but I’m also intentional about taking time to calm down and relax (when needed)! I understand the importance of limiting exercise for puppies, especially growing large breed dogs, as well as making sure temperaments and play styles match with playmates!
About: I love dogs and have had my own Yorkshire for about 3 years now. I’ve taken care of my mothers dog and love playing with them, making sure they are I’m currently a stay home house wife and I have a lot of time on my hands, I have a nice fenced in yard with a gate. I will make sure the dogs get plenty of play time outside and plenty of comfortable rest on dog beds in the basement, there are several dogs next door and my dog is friendly as well.
