Decades of Professional Pet Care

New to Rover but very seasoned animal professional and pet sitter. With nearly 30 years of professional hands-on experience from high volume animal rescue to busy veterinary clinics to service as a nonprofit veterinary clinic board member, I'm one of the most seasoned and knowledgeable animal caregivers you'll find on Rover. I've worked with dogs of every age, size, and temperament - from energetic puppies to seniors who need a gentler touch. I know how to read behavior, build trust, and create a safe, calm, and happy environment for every pet in my care.

Laura takes good care of our pets when we go on vacation. We've used her for years. She's attentive to their needs and is a loving pet caregiver most definitely. She's responsible and we recommend her highly.

Laura is incredibly knowledgeable about both dogs and cats, with years of experience working with an animal clinic. She’s responsible, trustworthy, caring, and truly understands and loves all animals. Whether you need someone to care for your pets in your home, board them at hers, or stop by while you’re at work to give them a walk, some attention, and plenty of cuddles, you can feel completely confident they’re in wonderful hands. My sweet pup has the best time at her house. She loves hanging out with her animals, ruling the house and the recliner and soaking up all the cuddles! It gives me such peace of mind knowing my pup is safe, loved, and having a great time while I’m away. If you’re looking for a dependable, knowledgeable pet sitter who will treat your pets like her own, Laura is the one!

I have worked with Laura for several years volunteering for a fundraiser for a local animal non-profit. She not only met the goals of the fundraiser but surpassed them. Laura is reliable and trustworthy with an amazing work ethic. I no longer have pets but if I did, I would absolutely trust her looking after them.

We have used Laura for years and love it when she takes care of the girls. We have two great Dane dogs that are sisters and never been separated. She comes and spends the night there and loves on them and they look forward to seeing her highly recommend.

Laura F. is truly one of the most compassionate and trustworthy people I know. She has an incredible heart for animals and treats every pet as if it were her own. Over the years, she has rescued and cared for many dogs, giving them the love, patience, and security they deserve. Her dedication to animal welfare isn’t just something she talks about—it’s how she lives her life. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet, you couldn’t ask for anyone better. Laura is dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. Whether it’s keeping up with a playful puppy, comforting an anxious pet, or caring for a senior dog with special needs, she has the experience, kindness, and intuition to make every pet feel safe and loved. I have trusted Laura with my own pets. Any family who chooses her through Rover can feel confident knowing their beloved companion is in caring, capable hands.

Laura is an exceptional pet caregiver who I would trust wholeheartedly with any animal. She has countless years of experience caring for pets and is incredibly responsible, dependable, and attentive. She genuinely loves animals and treats every pet as if they were her own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. She is also incredibly reliable and professional, and you can always count on her to take her responsibilities seriously and go above and beyond. Anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets would be lucky to have Laura. She has a natural ability to connect with animals, and her patience, kindness, and genuine love for them really shine through. I highly recommend Laura and know she will provide the same level of care, attention, and affection to every pet entrusted to her.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I primarily work from home. I’m able to give your pet consistent attention throughout the day, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in your absence. Providing reliable, high‑quality care is a priority for me, and I’m committed to giving your pet the same level of dedication I give my own pets.

Safety, trust & environment

Ensuring safety and trust is at the center of how I care for pets. My home has a large, fully fenced yard that provides a secure space for supervised outdoor time. I share my home with three crate‑trained dogs and two friendly, laid‑back cats who enjoy greeting newcomers. I’m attentive to each pet’s comfort level and very experienced in reading behavior, which allows me to adjust interactions and routines to keep everyone feeling safe and relaxed. I take pride in caring for your pet with the same attention, patience, and respect you give them at home. **It’s also important to note that I’m trained and educated in maintaining clinical‑level cleanliness to prevent cross‑contamination. I follow strict hygiene practices to keep all pets safe, healthy, and protected during their stay.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day in my home is relaxed, structured, and full of enrichment. Dogs start their morning with fresh air and exploration in my large fenced yard, followed by plenty of companionship from me and my friendly, well‑mannered pets. Throughout the day, they enjoy supervised play, mental stimulation, cozy downtime, and lots of positive interaction while I work from home. Every dog settles into a comfortable rhythm here, feeling safe, engaged, and genuinely cared for — like a second home. There will be lots of toys and treats to boot.

Knowing a few key details about your pet helps me give them the safest, most comfortable stay possible. I like to know their daily routine, energy level, and any quirks or behaviors that help me understand how they communicate. Information about feeding schedules, medications, allergies, and crate habits is especially important. I also appreciate knowing how they interact with other dogs and cats, what comforts them, and anything that might make them anxious. The more I know ahead of time, the more I can tailor their care so they feel right at home.
