Unfortunately my apartment doesn’t allow dogs, so I am able to dog sit but not board at the moment. I do have plans to get a house in the future and offer boarding

Information Laura B. would like to know about your pet

I love all breeds. My usual questions would be- are they on medication, do they have reactivity with other dogs, people on the street, separation anxiety, etc. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, but certain behavioral issues will come with a higher daily rate

A typical day

Neighborhood walks, trips to the dog park, hiking, it's up to you. I like to keep them in their routine as much as possible, whether your dog is a sofa-loaf or high energy and needing 40 minutes of chuckit

Pet care experience

Specializing in weekday pack hikes/group walks, and cat drop ins Hi, I absolutely love dogs and cats, and have been pet sitting the past nineteen years. I'm responsible, communicative, reliable, and treat each client as if they were my own My goal is to provide a calm and loving presence for your pet while they’re missing you, and to make your trip as easy as possible from my end. Every dog is my favorite dog 😊 And I specialize in winning over shy trepidatious cats I'm a 38 year old Bay Area native. I don't smoke, I'm very active and love dog walks. I have a reliable car, and I have never canceled on someone. I grew up with cats, dogs, birds, a rabbit, hamsters, and I've done pet sitting for fish, rats, and reptiles additionally Dog sitting includes a morning walk, and being let out early evening and before bed (around midnight). If they need more bathroom opportunities or chances to get out their energy, please message me their routine and we can make adjustments by adding additional walks to customize their schedule Your pet’s safety and happiness is my constant goal. I’m confident and adaptable. I’ve had dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperament. Every dog is wonderful and has their own unique personality. I love sending photo updates I walk dogs throughout the day, after making this my full time a few years back. I love all my clients so much and it’s been incredible I’m privately insured, have great relationships with my clients, and do my best to be responsive as quickly as possible at all times. The dogs I walk are amazing and I love them all

Laura was very professional, giving me updates and plenty of photos of my fur baby while I was gone. She also ensured my place was clean while I was gone which I really appreciated!

We have used Laura's services many times and couldn't be happier. She is a bit more expensive than other folks on Rover but definitely worth it. She is super responsive, completely reliable and has consistently shown ownership and care for items outside of just taking care of our dog when we have been out of town.

My little pup loves Laura, and she is just so responsible, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with! Very thankful and happy to have found her to walk and check on my 10 year old little dog during my long work days. I

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.
