About: Hello! I’m Laura, and I’m so excited to welcome your four-legged family member into my heart and home. Having grown up with dogs and raised three of my own beloved pups through to their golden years, I know firsthand that dogs aren't just pets—they are cherished family members. Now that my home is a bit quieter, I have a wealth of love, patience, and attention to share with your dog while you are away. Why Choose Me? Lifetime of Experience: I have over 40 years of experience living with and caring for dogs. Senior Dog Care: Having loved three dogs through their entire lives, I am highly comfortable with senior care, gentle pacing, and keeping strict medication and feeding schedules. A Safe, Loving Environment: Your dog will get my full attention, plenty of belly rubs, and a calm, reliable routine that mirrors the comfort they have at home. Whether your pup is an energetic walker or a professional couch cuddler, I adapt to their unique personality and needs. I can't wait to meet your furry best friend and give you peace of mind knowing they are in safe, loving hands! My daily and weekly schedule is very consistent, which makes it easy to provide a reliable, stress-free routine for your dog. During the week, my schedule allows me to easily plan my day around a dog's needs. I am always home for dedicated morning, late afternoon, and evening care. Because my routine is highly structured, I can guarantee regular potty breaks, timely feedings, and medication administration on a strict schedule. My late afternoons, evenings, and weekends are wide open and entirely dedicated to pet care. Whether that means going for relaxed neighborhood walks, playing in the yard, or just offering quiet companionship on the couch, your dog will be a central part of my day. I treat guest dogs like family, fitting them seamlessly into a warm, attentive, and loving daily routine. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether a dog is staying with me or I am visiting them in their own home. Having raised three dogs of my own, I know how important a secure and predictable environment is for a pet's peace of mind. In My Home: I maintain a calm, dog-friendly, and completely smoke-free environment. Before any stay, I do a thorough safety sweep to ensure all hazards, cords, or human foods are securely out of reach. Dogs in my care are supervised closely, and I follow a strict double-check policy on all doors and gates when entering or exiting. In Your Home: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it secure, clean, and exactly as you left it. During visits or house sits, I stick closely to your security routines (locking doors, arming alarms) and ensure your dog is safely secured inside before I leave. My Care Philosophy: Tailored to the Dog: I strictly adhere to your specific rules regarding furniture, feeding schedules, and crate training to keep their routine seamless. On-Leash Safety: I always keep dogs securely on-leash during walks and remain highly alert to our surroundings and other animals. Constant Communication: I love sending daily photo updates so you can see firsthand how happy, relaxed, and safe your pup is!

I am pretty active so expect your dogs stay to be spent playing, walking, and hiking. If caring for your dog in your home will prioritize your pet first! I do not have a fenced in backyard but instead have a long lead. Your dog is still able to roam the yard and take care of business while safe on a lead. I have an unfinished basement which is ultimately our dog play area. I supervise all play in this area - it's been super helpful when weather doesn't allow outdoor time. In the clients home i will be able to play in your backyard while ensuring safety whether it is fenced in or utilizing a lead.

I have experience with elderly and special needs pets as well.
About: I love dogs! I enjoy being with them, as much as they enjoy being with their hooman counterparts. I do not have a pet for myself, yet. Meantime I want to give others a chance to travel without worrying about trying to find where there dog will go. I've dealt with pet care since a kid, we've always had a pet in our home. Any time I make a friend who has a dog or two, I'm always up for doggy sitting, since I know it can be hard to find someone reliable to watch after your pet or home. Last minute notices, if I'm around, I'd be more than welcome to watch your best bud for you. The military isn't a set in stone type of gig, but when you need someone just give me a ring.

“Angela was excellent with my dog, Vaida! Vaida struggles adjusting to new surroundings, but Angela was a pro with her. Angela provided consistent communication & I was able to stay updated throughout the week. It was great to know Vaida was in good hands.”
“Ambrosius had a lot of fun with her walks and doggy play! She came home and slept amazing. She was very happy and even got so comfortable she took a nap (rare for her at others houses). Thank you so much for making my puppy happy and feel loved.”
“He took care of our 4 legs kids for first time. Taking care of old dog and young dog are not easy , especially at first time till they get used to with new environment and new friends. I think he did a good job. He send me one picture and gave me status of feeding. If we need to give him least opinion, that will be yard need to be picks up little.”
“This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous but my overall experience was positive with AJ. We have a 1 year old mixed breed dog that is very playful and happy around pretty much everyone. We met in a park near AJ’s home and he was promptly on time and communicated well. I asked several questions about the plan for the day and everything seemed reasonable to me. For me personally I just wanted someone that would keep my dog active and happy for the afternoon, also sneak in the occasional nap is okay too. When the day was over we met in the park again and (on time) and my dog was happy to see me. Thumbs up!”

Our furbabies are a Shorkie and Shih Tzu who are well behaved and make great hosts and playmates! Large pastures and trails on which to walk, so lots of exercise. Our canine guests will receive lots of love and attention! They will be welcome in our house if well-behaved, and treated like one of the family during their stay.

They are cared for in our home and integrated into being cared for as part of our family with 2 little welcoming fur babies.
About: I have always had pets in my home my whole life both dogs and cats I am more of a dog person but I absolutely love caring for all animals and I know how difficult it can be depending on the animal my parents most recent dog was a handful he was in and out of several homes before finding his way to ours because of he’s very energetic and sometimes violent behavior but we turned him to a sweetie with time and good training. At first he was rather aggressive towards me and was very difficult to train because of how long he had gone without training which taught me a lot of tricks to deal with a difficult and aggressive dog. I love this job and I hope your pet will enjoy my company as much as I’ll enjoy theirs. I have bathed dogs helped bathe a cat with flees and I’m down to learn anything if you’ll help show me. I do this full time so I am usually always free to offer the most reliable and consistent pet care experience for your pet and I’m always available unless I’m watching other pets. I’d love to do repeat visits to build a better relationship with you and your pet. I do the absolute best of my ability to ensure that your dog feels safe and happy when with me and I hope after meeting me you’re pet is excited to see me again.

About: I have a background in both education and dog training, so I focus heavily on structure, communication, and understanding each dog’s individual needs. I have experience working with dogs of all ages, energy levels, and personalities, including puppies, high-energy breeds, and dogs that benefit from extra patience or routine. I’m CPR certified, experienced with enrichment-based care, and comfortable reinforcing basic training skills such as leash manners, recall, sit/down, place, and calm behavior during visits and walks. I also have experience with hunting and working breeds, so I understand the importance of both physical exercise and mental stimulation. What sets me apart most is that I genuinely enjoy building trust and relationships with the dogs I care for. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure each dog feels comfortable, engaged, and well cared for while you’re away. I also provide reliable communication and updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. I intentionally keep openings in my schedule for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and individualized care. I currently have availability most mornings, a few evenings, and select weekends which allows me to provide consistent attention and flexible scheduling for clients. Because I prioritize quality care and reliability, I carefully manage my schedule to make sure each pet receives plenty of time, attention, exercise, and communication while in my care. believe every dog is different, so I focus heavily on each pet’s individual needs, personality, comfort level, and routine. Some dogs need lots of exercise and enrichment, while others need a calmer environment, patience, or extra reassurance while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home or my own, I take time to learn their feeding schedule, potty routine, energy level, favorite activities, training expectations, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and secure. I adjust my care style based on the individual dog rather than taking a “one size fits all” approach. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, understood, and cared for while maintaining as much consistency and routine as possible.
“Our Tia had the best time of her life with Wendy. We are so grateful that we were able to go on our overseas trip over Christmas and not have to worry a thing about Tia's wellbeing. Wendy treated her like family, and like her own dogs who became Tia's new best friends. And Tia loved Wendy and her husband from the get-go. We really appreciated the frequent updates with pics. Whenever the need arises again, Wendy will be the first one we will contact. Highly recommended!”
“Linsie has incredible knowledge when it comes to dogs and is such a caring and loving person. She cared for my mom’s two dogs, Zeus and Hera, as if they were her own. And went above and beyond the ensure they were looked after with short notice due to a family emergency. She kept us updated daily with pictures and feedback. She made an incredibly difficult time for our family more bearable, knowing that our beloved pups were in good hands. Do not hesitate to book Linsie. You and your pups will be happy you did:) Thank you, Linsie!!!!”
