About: I have taken care of all different kinds of dogs ranging from small Shih Tzus to Great Danes. I have two dogs myself that I've had for 6 years now and I had dogs growing up, so I am very well versed in both younger and older dogs. I have had to help take care of puppy litters before and I really enjoy working with dogs. My dogs are very high energy, so I have learned to love playing fetch and taking long walks multiple times a day. I am able to match their high energy; however, I am just as able to work with lower energy dogs. I believe that all dogs deserve the best care and love possible, so I hope to work with people who want the same for their dogs. I also have experience working at the Fredericksburg Squishy Face Crew which is a non-profit animal shelter. I worked at their intake warehouse playing with the dogs outside and cleaning. I don't currently have any other immediate obligations, so my schedule is very flexible, and I am open most weeks. I have my own car, so transportation to and from houses is never going to be an issue. I am willing to work with you to find a schedule that works best, and I can schedule my personal obligations around that. I would care for your pets based on your description of their eating habits, energy level, and the environment around the house. I would be happy to take walks around the neighborhood, or if this is not possible, I am happy to use my car to take your dog to a park to walk. If you would rather us stay at the home, I would aim to still play with your dog if prompted by playing with toys. I am happy to feed your dogs with whatever material is provided and make sure that they have constant access to water and the bathroom.

About: I am a compassionate babysitter! I love all animals and treat my pets like my children. I take my dog everywhere with me. From Starbucks for pup cups to Lowe’s to shop. She’s my shadow and I will treat your pet with the same kind of companionship. I am open to all request. Just let me know what you are looking for and we can figure out the schedule! Happy to be flexible with times and needs. I provide a safe environment at home. I have two pets of my own, a very calm golden retriever and a black cat that thinks she’s a dog. They usually sleep throughout the day. I work from home so your pet can hang out with me while I work. For drop in visits I would come solo without my dog (unless requested for play).

About: I will offer the love and attention your animal deserves! This family (me, my husband, and our two children, ages 17 and 13 all dog crazy and will be tending to your baby(ies) with love and care. We always treat our canine visitors like they are family. I have experience with a diabetic animal as well, and gave insulin shots for four and a half years to our Pug, Bill. I promise you will get photos and updates during your pet’s stay, and I will not compromise on keeping them safe and secure at all times. We only watch one dog from one family at once, but I will watch two to three dogs from the same family. I will bathe, nail trim, and brush any breed. I will walk them at least twice a day, for about a mile each time, if your dog can handle that physically. I always listen to your animals needs and will honor them. We have a family pet named Ted. He is a three year old Pug. He gets along well with every animal he has ever encountered. We would insist on a new boarding client coming over for a meet and greet first. I would be able to care for your pets in our home. We do not have a fenced yard. I typically will put pets on leashes for their potties and walks unless the owner tells me they are comfortable with them going out with me into the yard for a potty unleashed.

“Laurie is a very important part of my beloved Frisbee. Her updates give me joy during my stressful days at work. We truly love her knowledge on how to ensure our pet is on the right path to a healthy balance.”

About: I’ve taken care of many animals on my family’s small farm including three dogs, chickens, a pig, sheep, and bees! I’ve always loved dogs and got my first dog before I can remember. Two of our family dogs are hyper cattle dogs that have required lots of training, so I’m no stranger to the zoomies! One of our dogs is a rescue and arrived to us with anxiety and Lymes disease among other issues. I know how far a little extra love for our dogs can go! I care for my dogs at home every day with walks and cuddles. I love to go on walks anyways and would love to take other dogs along with me. I’m able to take my pets and others on walks and have a dog sleeve for my car in case of emergencies or outings. I’m familiar with pet medications and many types of food.
