Information Laura A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you have specific routines, diets, rules your dog should follow. Having gone through training with a puppy of my own, I know the importance of consistency and sticking to the rules while the pawrents are away. Our pup is on a raw food diet so I am familiar with those as well.

A typical day

I love to explore! Whether a stroll through the city, visit to the park, or a weekend hike, we will be sure to get outside and have lots of fun.

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m a Minnesota born, Bastrop-based dog lover and I’m glad you’ve found my profile. I've been around dogs my entire life and believe a dog makes a house a home. My own fur baby, Milou, is a 5 year old lab mix who loves other dogs and people. He will gladly accept a pal to join us on walks, or chase around the backyard. I have 5+ years experience volunteering with various animal shelters and a plethora of nights & weekends spent house/dog sitting for friends and family. I love to explore new trails, parks, & hikes so your pup's stay will be an active one! I am also a runner and will gladly take your dog along to burn off some extra energy. I took a couple years off from Rover as my family relocated several times. Now that we are settled in the Austin area, I am ready to get back to dog sitting/walking/boarding, and hope to meet you soon!

Laura was absolutely amazing! This was my first time leaving my 1-year old Golden with someone from Rover and I couldn’t have felt more at ease. She took excellent care of my pup with plenty of walks, playtime and photos. She was easy to communicate with and extremely responsive while I was away and I couldn’t have been happier! I will most definitely be using Laura’s services again in the near future! ?

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.
