Hi, I'm Laura! (: I have owned, loved, and cared for dogs and cats all my life, and I am passionate about providing top-notch care to your beloved pets. I love embracing and understanding each pet's unique personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, understood, and happy (: I have been a trusted pet-sitter for many of my friends and family, and I would love to be a comfortable home-away-from-home for your pet! I have raised and trained puppies from when they were 5 weeks old, including potty-training, teaching commands, house and crate training. I've also looked after energetic teenager dogs, and geriatric dogs. I work remotely from home with a very flexible schedule, so I can give your pet all the company and attention they need. I also have a large fenced-in patio that all my friend's pets absolutely love sunning in! Your pet would be free to hang out on the patio (typically I'd lay out a nice rug or a raised pet bed) and come in and out as they please. I'll always be around to supervise. I live close to the beach, so that means unlimited beach walks! Happy to accommodate your pet's energy levels to take them out for beautiful walks as needed. Love to engage in playtime, snuggles, scritches, belly rubs, and all the TLC that your pet wants. I've used Rover myself as a former dog-owner, so I really care about making sure we have great communication and that I establish that trust with you and your pet. I am extremely careful and meticulous and will care for your pet and pamper them like they're my own kid. Can't wait to meet you and your pet already (: Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions and I'll be happy to put your mind at ease!
