Pet care experience

10+ Years Experienced Animal Lover

I have been working with animals since the age of 10 where I volunteered at a family friend's dog daycare. I learned the basics of animal care there and went on to do great things in the field. I went on to do years of volunteer work as well as an internship at a Non-profit cat shelter and clinic. I worked for a few different dog day cares both here and in Reno where I spent a year. I have my own fur babies whom I love to pieces. I am Pet CPR and first aid certified. I also have grooming experience. I can cut nails, give baths, teeth brushing, and minimal hair trims. I also have knowledge in pet nutrition. Your pet will have a blast with me! I can guarantee dog park runs, getting to sleep in bed, and just an overall comfortable experience. Thanks for reading! Please note: My boyfriend will be accompanying me to any overnights. And if I am unavailable, he will take on clients as well. *Additional fees apply when outside of immediate location.*

Laken very accommodating and responsive. Any pet would be lucky to have Laken as a sitter.

Thankful for finding Laken. Laken did an amazing job of keeping us updated with our baby. We had a bad last experience with a previous provider, Laken is a blessing. We look forward to booking in the future with Laken. Thank you.

Thank you, thank you! We can’t say how much we appreciate Laken for taking care of our boy, Arrow. He’s a special needs dog who needs a little more love than normal and he did just that. He was great with communicating and sent photos and videos. Arrow played great with his dogs and

Laken and his fiancé were friendly and accommodating. They welcomed our pups into their home and provided excellent care. They communicated often about our dogs with pictures via text. They even bathed both of our dogs when we picked them up! I would recommend them if you are looking for good people to watch your pets!

I would give more stars if I could. Laken is the best! He is super responsive and even sent pictures. Kimber came home with freshly trimmed nails and a bath. I would definitely use Laken again.

Finally a great dog sitter! I received photos and funny messages about my pup during her stay. My dog was super happy when I picked her up , ears were perked up and everything! I will definitely be using Laken again for all of my dog sitting in the future.

I work 4 days a week as a first responder and Brandon works 3 days as a first responder/teacher so someone is always home with pets and if we both have to leave, it won’t be for longer than an hour or 2.

We need to know how your dog gets along with other animals. We would like to know about any training so we can be sure to use your commands. Overall health and routines of the animals would also be very helpful.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
