NEWS:::: While Michael and I are excited for the new adventure that life has in store for us, it is with GREAT SADNESS that we tell our many loyal clients and FRIENDS (as you know you have become friends) that we will be moving to Texas on March 1st. While we had mulled over the idea for several years, it never really seemed much of a possibility until the last couple months. The stars aligned, prayers were answered, and we are now able to be closer to my family, including my 85-yr-old mother, and Michael's family as well. I will miss you all so very much, and just thinking about not being able to cuddle and kiss your precious pups brings tears to my eyes, even now. Please know that you all will be very, very missed and fondly remembered. I have been interviewing other Rover Sitters in an effort to find a few candidates who can provide the loving, clean, and safe home environment that Michael and I tried to provide. I believe I have found some that may work for you. Please text or send me your address and I can give you the list. I wish you all the best, and Michael, Robby and I send our love and sincerest wishes for continued happiness with your families. XOXO LAURA *********************************************************************************************We have the perfect home and family to watch over your precious pup (30 lbs and under) while you are on vacation or away from home. I am a happily married STAY-AT-HOME mom and stepmom of three wonderful adults, the youngest of which is 24. I am a retired landscape architect, but mostly I spend my days quietly at home with our 3 pets. My best buddy and constant companion is Robby, a 14-year-old "Powderpap", a Papillon/Powderpuff Chinese Crested mix; Tigger is our sweet 15-year-old tabby cat; and Misty is our 16 y.o. fat cat who loves any attention. (The cats hang out in the back yard and make themselves scarce when we have doggie visitors.) We have a lot of fun, but it's quite relaxed around here. There is plenty of time for cuddles on the couch and just hanging out together. We have a nice fenced-in grassy backyard with plenty of room for running around, so everyone can get some excercise. An electronic doggie door allows all pets easy access for potty breaks or quick trips outside when the urge hits to lie in the sun. Our neighborhood has plenty of places to go for walks, if desired. About Laura: I have time and love to give your special pet! I am home full time, but previously I was a landscape architect in San Diego for 20 years. I took medical early retirement several years ago, and now that the kids are grown I stay close to home with Robby, my "best dog-friend". I am an experienced pet sitter and long-time pet owner, and I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet behind when you travel. We wanted to offer the same kind of loving, focused care that we desired for our own dog when we went on vacation, so we joined Rover. We would love to share our laid-back, relaxed and happy home with your furry family member. Please give me a call the next time you make vacation/travel plans; we would be happy to have your precious pet come stay with us. Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs all my life, having gotten my first dog Quiet in the second grade. Our dogs and cats have been such an important part of our married life as well - I can't imagine our family without them. Meet my pets 14-yr-old Papillon/Chinese Crested Powderpuff dog; 15-yr-old tabbycat; and 16-yr-old American shorthair cat. (They keep to themselves and do not bother any pet guests.) My experience administering medication One of my regular visitors receives daily medication (in pill form). I would prefer not to administer injections, unless you were comfortable educating me. I am a fast learner.
