#We play while you're away

Life long pet and animal lover who can comfortably accommodate any pets! Dogs, cats, rabbits, other small critters, reptiles, fish and chickens! Any rescue pup is more than welcome. All my dogs have been rescues with plenty of behavior training. I've learned with positive reinforcement and patience, I can gain the trust and life long bond with all my 4 legged kids. I've spent time with different animal rescue centers and shelters walking and socializing. Some experience working in a veterinary hospital. All size dogs as well. The family dogs growing up have come in all shapes and sizes, small breeds to dino dogs. Each pet with their own bright personalities, have always been a learning experience. From needing supervision and cutting treats because they’ll eat the entire thing at once and choke if not. Running away when the door doesn't close right. The cat knocks over literally anything and everything when her food gets too low for her liking. Accommodating any needs will never be a problem. I love the outdoors, walks are no problem. If your pet is older and can only go a couple blocks or maybe they need their medicine daily, not a problem. If your pup has lots of energy or just needs more attention than others, not a problem. I have a reliable and safe transportation for or any trips or emergencies. I have a fair amount of experience with senior dogs as well. Giving insulin, and checking levels. Blind pets, sick pets. They’re still our pets and it doesn’t matter. If it matters to you. It matters to me. My entire life is devoted my pets/others pets. I make my own organic healthy dog treats and would love to share some with your pup's. Our pets mean the world to us and I want you to have one less thing to worry about throughout your busy week and while you travel. Thank you, Laken❤🐾

Laken was absolutely amazing. She went out of her way to ensure we felt comfortable leaving the care of our pets in her hands. We were so pleased with her services and our pups loved her.

One of the friendliest experiences I've had boarding a pet. She shared plenty of pictures and updates about what was going on and was super flexible and easy going.

Wow. Have just returned home after an extended stay away from Karen & can honestly say it feels amazing to come home to a happy cat! Laken took OUTSTANDING care of Karen while we were away! Not only did I receive updates while I was away about feeding times, extra check-ins, & cuddle pictures, she was sure to include bits about behavioral changes & even gave a good recommendation for more suitable food choices. She left behind a few samples for organic food which I love & will definitely be implementing! I’ve never had a reliable cat sitter before & will be sure to book Laken for future trips! Coming home to a happy Karen seriously makes for an easy return. Thank you Laken! You rock sis ??????

Laken was great! I was a little nervous about leaving my pup with a stranger, but she provided lots of reassurances and picture updates! She did a great job taking care of my puppy!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a smaller apt with a small senior dog and rabbit so I ask only other small dog/pet inquiries. No kids, no smoking and absolute safe space for your small pet. My little dog still likes to take nice long walks. I have beautiful trails along my apts in a nice area.

Pets

A typical day

Mornings are my favorite. My dog and I go walk first thing anywhere from 1-3 miles. Then back to the house where I feed my pets. My dog gets home made dog food mixed with her dry food. My rabbit gets a fresh salad and hay and his little area cleaned up from any bedding he’s most likely kicked up. I enjoy my coffee and take care of my plants and hang out with my pets before starting my day. Routines are important in anyone’s household and I for sure have a great understanding of this 😂

Cats

Laken can host up to 1 pet per night
Before agreeing to a booking when we have our meet and greet. I’ll have a small questionnaire for us to go over to make sure I have a clear understanding of what you need from me so you don’t have to even think twice if you mentioned his food allergy, or that trick you do when you give him his meds.
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.
