Pet care experience

The Dog Lady

I'm that crazy dog lady. Always rescuing lost dogs around the neighborhood, and even going on weekend getaways with my dog. I have taken care of my dogs from the time I brought my oldest pug home at 10 weeks up to the present. He passed in May 2023 at the age of 15. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to keep them healthy and happy. For example, I have always made my dog food. When my pugs were getting old, I gladly carried them wherever they couldn't get to on their own (up and down the stairs, onto the bed at night, etc.). I feel like I understand dogs so well, I can just tell what they're thinking/feeling. I have had automatic mutual trust with dogs I've only just met.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I will, of course, make sure your dog has adequate time to potty outside. Some dogs have more energy than others so I like to follow their lead. I enjoy playing chase, fetch, tug-of-war, general rough-housing, or just snuggling with the dogs on the couch. I will feed, water, and clean up after your dog(s). I enjoy earning a dog's trust and being of service, so let me know if I can help out by trimming nails, working with commands, etc.

Laura did a great job watching our kitty for us while we were gone! She was very communicative and sent pictures everyday. Would definitely rebook again

Laura was absolutely amazing as a pet sitter and went above and beyond in every way. She took wonderful care of our two cats, making sure they were well-fed, had fresh water, and that their litter boxes were always clean. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about their well-being. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a pet sitter who provides exceptional service and truly treats your pets like her own.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or dietary concerns. I have had a dog with food sensitivities so I know how important it is to watch ingredients. I also am familiar with brachycephalic breeds (temperature/breathing concerns), senior dogs (lifting/carrying, deaf/hard-of-hearing, incontinence, bladder expressing, blindness), puppies (puppy-proofing), just about anything. I'm not afraid to reach in and rescue something from a dog's mouth that he shouldn't have. I'm level-headed in an emergency.
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.
