≫Don’t Regret Who Sits Your Pet≪

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.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Interacting & being able to read animals has always come naturally to me. I can 100% guarantee your pets will be taken care of with love & compassion. Any animal under my supervision will be treated as if they were one of my own. My goal is to put your mind at ease knowing your pets are getting quality & genuine care while you’re away. ❤︎︎

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!

I have booked with Laken on multiple occasions over the last couple of years. She goes above and beyond every time she has watched my boys for me. She always sweeps up the floors, and cleans up after the boys! Thank you so much Laken!

Laken did an amazing job with taking care of our girls while we were away!! She was very communicative, she sent pictures after every drop in and she really kept us in the loop. It was great being able to truly relax and enjoy vacation without having to worry about the dogs since they were in great hands. She also left the best gifts bags for each dog which was so appreciated and sweet. 10/10 would book again!!!

Schedule

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. 🐾
