Availability

I first gather information of your typical daily routine: diet, exercise, medications (quantity and frequency). I will mimic the routine unless your fur baby needs extra walks/hikes/play time. We have a lot of land and a river but if your dog is geriatric/post-op/sprinter this will be modified or eliminated.

Information Laura D. would like to know about your pet

1. I need to know if you're four legged baby is good with cats. 2. If your dog is ok with other dogs. 3. Does your dog have separation anxiety?

A typical day

I love to walk or hike and live on lots of land to throw a ball to get that energy going! If we are disabled or geriatric I offer physical therapy.

Pet care experience

Aloha, my name is Laura. I have a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine and have been pet sitting for 22 years. I offer medication administration (oral & injections), nail trims, basic grooming, baths, subcutaneous fluids, anal gland expressions. I am especially familiar with diabetics, hyperthyroidism, renal failure and other metabolic issues. I am retired so I have all day to spend with your four-legged child but if you have a special needs or geriatric I will modify.

Laura was great! She had her hands full with our 3 dogs but they seemed comfortable and she handled it with ease!

Laura is warm and professional! She clearly loves animals. She took great care of our senior pup who has lots of quirks! It was very comforting knowing Laura was with him. She kept our place tidy and was communicative and caring!

Laura went out of her way to provide a great experience. I will definitely request her the next time I’m in the area.

Laura is super responsive, reliable and attentive to our 2 dogs. We were very lucky to have booked her to watch our fur babies!

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.
