Safety, trust & environment

I like to do an initial house visit with the owner to get an idea of what the house looks like and where the pet is comfortable. If we cannot get a face to face meeting first please message me with detailed care instructions to ensure proper care for your pet.

Information Laura H. would like to know about your pet

Please give me a much information about your pet ahead of time concerning their care. I always like to know their quirks in addition to basics like medical care. Does your pet have a history of not eating when you are away, need a special toy to sleep, or only go potty in one spot in the yard?

A typical day

I love to cuddle and love on pets. If you have an active animal I enjoy going for walks or even hikes to tire them out and give them some new sniff experiences.

Pet care experience

My name is Laura. I have been a dog owner my whole life. I have been a Rover sitter on and off for about 5 years and would love to take care of your fur babies while you are out of town. I have owned several special needs animals and am good at working with animals of all temperments. I have experience dealing with dogs of all ages and sizes. I especially love caring for older dogs who may need a little extra care and attention. I have worked with large groups of dogs and am willing to take care of several at a time if you have a large pet family. I have open availability and would love to play with your dog and make sure they are well taken care of.

Laura took such good care of our 3 kitties while we were gone on vacation and sent us pictures of them every time she visited them. I would definitely recommend booking with her and I would trust her to watch our kitties again any time. :D

Laura is fantastic!!!! She was able to help me out last minute (like the night before an unexpected business trip!) She was able to come over right away to meet my pups and get instructions. She was sweet, kind and my pups loved her! Laura sent pics and updates and was amazing! My new go to pet sitter! Highly recommend!

Laura has cared for our two large dogs for several days at a time. She is very loving and playful with her charges. She was able to reinforce our house rules and was very respectful of our home.

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.
