Pet care experience

As a dog owner, I know just how difficult it can be finding someone you trust to care for your animals. They're family! Between my two reactive pups at home and extensive experience handling shelter pups, I can assure you that your pup is safe with me. For seven years, I co-led a volunteer group which took shelter dogs running each weekend. This gave me experience with every breed, size, and temperament out there. I treat each pup as an individual, always. Dog reactive? I always keep one eye up ahead and can dash behind a tree or parked car with ease. Stranger danger? I move slowly with new pups and at their pace. I also carry treats on me in case they're needed, which helps! (I strictly follow any allergy or dietary restrictions). Pup prefers a slow sniffari or a fast walk? No problem, it is their outing and they set the pace.

So grateful for the communication and peace of mind that Laura brings when taking care of Santino. In every picture we receive, you can tell how much fun he’s having, which makes being away from him easier!

Laura was a fantastic help when we needed someone to walk our dog! She was communicative, reliable, and truly cared about our dog. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

We are so lucky to have found Laura! Santino was so well taken care of and we felt so at ease leaving our fur baby in her hands. She was extremely communicative and sent us descriptive notes with bonus pictures to make our time away from him easier. From the moment we met, we could tell how experienced she was and how much she loves working with all types of dogs. We can’t wait to have Laura sit with Santino 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.
