Safety, trust & environment

I strive to take care of your pets exactly as you would. Animals are most comfortable in their own homes. I look forward to meeting you and your family (fur-bearing or not)!

Information Laura E. would like to know about your pet

Every animal is different, so it is important to schedule a meet and greet to discuss routines, special toys, temperament, and special needs (such as allergies or things, people, or other animals to avoid).

A typical day

Recovering from amputation and cannot go for walks right now, but I love throwing a ball/Frisbee, playing tug-of-war, snuggling on the couch, going on car rides, taking trips to the park, swimming, and playing in the water!

Pets

I Have Obsessive Cat & Dog Disorder

Pet care experience

Hi, I have serious OCDD (Obsessive Cat and Dog Disorder) when it comes to your furbabies. I have grown up in the country and have had experience with micro and macro pets! My mother was always bringing home dogs to foster and we ran the gamut - from micro (Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Poodles, and Dachshunds) to macro (St. Bernards, Rottweilers, Bulldogs, Boer Boers, Mastiffs, Great Danes, and Dobermans)!

Laura was awesome! She took very good care of our lab, and Sammie loved her! She sent lots of pictures and updates to us while we were gone, which we so appreciated. It was so nice not to have to worry about our baby, knowing she was in very good hands. My house was spotless when we got home, too! Love her to pieces! Will most definitely have Laura back again!

Laura was able to sit last minute and I was so appreciative because she & the kiddos knew each which was comforting. Great job, would recommend to anyone that have spoiled fur babies request Laura.😁

Laura was easy to get along with when first meeting and wanted to make sure she knew everything to give our dogs the best care! I really loved that she sent photos of the dogs playing, eating, and drinking to make sure we felt comfortable knowing everything we asked for was accomplished! I would for sure be in touch with Laura again!

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.
