As I mentioned, Rover is my full-time job. Therefore, I take my job very seriously & strive for professionalism & quality care. As of now, my schedule is fairly flexible. I try to be as accommodating as possible, so I’m willing to do whatever it takes to satisfy my clients. To show my appreciation, I give all first-time clients a “thank you” treat bag. And if you become a recurring client, you can expect toys/treats for your furbabies on holidays & special occasions. 🐾

Pet care experience

ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ |🐾| ▼•ᴥ•▼ ✶ Hello there! You’ve clicked on the right profile. ✶ My name is Laken. ᥫ᭡ I’ve been pet sitting full-time for over four years, & I’m incredibly grateful to all of my clients who have trusted me to care for such important members of their families. I know leaving your furbabies with a stranger can be a daunting situation, but know that I pride myself on reliable, trustworthy care. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. In my family, having just one pet is rare. We are definitely a group of multi pet households, & we would not have it any other way. As for myself, I own 4 kitties & was finally blessed to get my dream dog, a female Doberman Pinscher. They are all absolutely spoiled rotten. I have had the pleasure of caring for not only dogs & cats throughout my time as a pet sitter, but also a variety of animals, including a skunk, bearded dragons, chickens, ducks, frogs, turtles, & birds. I’m willing to care for any pet as long as I feel comfortable doing so. I have experience administering insulin to both dogs & cats, as well as giving them oral medication. Throughout my time pet sitting, I’ve learned that unexpected situations can arise at any visit. Because I have multiple visits scheduled each day, occasional timing adjustments may be necessary due to unforeseen events at prior visits. My schedule revolves around the pets in my care, so I operate within a 1-2 hour arrival window of your requested time. This flexibility allows me to handle unpredictable circumstances that may arise during prior visits while still providing attentive, individualized care to every pet. You will always be notified when I am on my way.

Laken took care of our two very shy cats while we were away for a long weekend. She was very attentive to their needs and did a great job cleaning up after them…they can be a bit messy! She communicated very well and even left then a little gift! This was our first time using rover and thanks to Laken it was a good experience!
