Safety, trust & environment
I will keep your pet(s) safe at your home and/or outside by keeping them on a leash, crating if necessary or requested, keeping your doors locked at all times, and taking precautions to make sure your pet doesn’t get into anything they are not allowed to have.
Information Laura D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet(s) have any disabilities, illnesses, or medical treatment that I need to attend to. I want to ensure that I know their routine and health status to keep them safe and happy!
A typical day
I love to play fetch and tug-of-war with dogs because they are fun, interactive games to play together and will help dogs get good rest afterwards. With cats, I’ve found that they enjoy playing with teaser toys, string, and sometimes fetch with small toys. One thing I do with my animals and with the animals that I sit for is to play music for them, either with my ukulele or from a playlist on my phone, because animals love to have some peaceful music playing during down-time.

Tail-Wagging Pet Care!
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Laura and I am a recent graduate from Virginia Tech. I have had a life-long passion for taking care of animals and hope to care for yours. Throughout my life I have cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, small mammals, horses, cows, pigs, chickens, and much more! I love all animals, big and small, and am able to watch over your household pets and/or any farm pets. I have had dogs my entire life, currently a proud pup owner of my hyper, loving golden retriever, and I know all the ins and outs of canine care. I provide play-time, grooming, walks/dog park visits, food/water cleaning and replenishment, medical aid, and so much more for your pup(s). I have training experience with puppies, and can handle all temperaments. Elderly dogs hold a special place in my heart so I will ensure their safety and comfortability. No matter the age or size, I would love to care for your four-legged family member!

Reviews
Laura has become our regular sitter for Ollie, and she goes above and beyond every visit. She spends extra time playing with our pup, sends lots of pictures and detailed updates, and takes very good care of our house. This visit coincided with Easter, and she even set up a dog-friendly Easter egg hunt for Ollie. I truly can't recommend Laura enough!
This was our third time booking with Laura, and we continue to be extremely satisfied with the consistent, exceptional service she provides. We can't recommend her enough!
Laura is hands down the best Rover we have ever found! She took great care of our boys while we were away, sending several check-ins per day with lots of pictures of the adventures they had. Laura went above and beyond and walked our boys around the neighborhood each day of her stay and gave them lots of outdoor play time with each other as well as with her. I couldn't be more grateful for how sweet and attentive she was to our boys. ❤️❤️❤️
Laura consistently provides the highest quality care for our dog and our home. She spends so much quality time with Ollie doing all of her favorite things, and she gives us thorough daily updates and responds quickly when we reach out. She also leaves our home exactly as she found it, if not even more tidy than it was before, and we are always pleasantly surprised how clean everything is when we get home! It can be hard to trust someone to take care of your pet and stay in your home, but we trust Laura completely with both and can't recommend her enough.
