Safety, trust & environment

I try to learn each pet's unique need to make them as much comfortable and as less stressed as possible. I love to play with your dogs and cats and cuddle them but I give them their own space when needed. I'm detailed-oriented when safety and cleanness are concerned.

Information Laura D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know you pet's specific needs, their routines and what they like to do during the day. Please give me all the information that I need to understand your pet and to give them the best possible care.

A typical day

In general, I like to walk dogs around the neighborhood and to the local parks and let them socialize with other little friends, depending on specific preferences and needs.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Laura, a caring and attentive pet sitter based in Pasadena area. I'm also available in surrounding areas as Highland Park and nearby locations depending on the schedule. I truly love what I do, and my goal is always to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and at home while their owners are away. I have experience with both dogs and cats, including shy or more sensitive pets who need time, patience, and a gentle approach. I always follow their routine closely and adapt to their personality, whether they need playtime, quiet companionship, or simply someone calm and present nearby. During house sitting, I provide overnight care as well as a consistent presence throughout the day, depending on your needs. Some clients prefer extended daytime care, similar to a daycare-style setup, with longer visits or multiple check-ins during the day. I’m happy to customize the schedule to best support your pet’s routine and comfort. Extended daytime care is available upon request. My priority is that your pets never feel rushed or left alone for too long. I spend quality time with them, keeping their environment calm, clean, and familiar. I also pay close attention to details such as eating habits, behavior, and overall well-being, so everything stays balanced and stress-free. I send regular updates with photos and thoughtful notes, so you always feel reassured while you’re away. When helpful, my husband Valerio (who works at Caltech) is also available to assist me during house sitting. This can be especially beneficial for pets who enjoy extra companionship or for homes that require a more continuous presence. I believe trust, kindness, and clear communication are at the heart of great pet care, and I treat every pet with the same attention and respect I would give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pet 💛

Laura was absolutely wonderful with my kitty cat. She played with her, cuddled with her, made sure her litter box was always clean. Truly can’t recommend Laura enough!

This is my 4th time booking Laura, she is amazing with the animals of course but also someone you can really trust in your home while you’re away. The best in the business!

Laura is amazing. We have a very smart and stubborn corgi, and she stayed with him for nearly 10 days. She sent us regular photos and kept us very updated. He was very happy and extremely well taken care of. We cannot say enough good things about Laura. We would recommend her extremely highly.

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.
