A Dog-Gone Good Time, Fur Real!
Pet care experience
I've had pets since I was a small child, and have always been very responsible with them. I currently own dogs, cats, horses, and chickens, and have experience with many breeds and types of pets (including reptiles, fish, and livestock!). I'm a pro at treating injuries, trimming nails, and giving kisses and pets. Got crazy feeding or wild care requirements? I got you! I take a very quiet and deliberate approach to animals, mixed in with a ton of respect and love. I only use positive (pawsitive?) reinforcement in my training, and find small ways to reinforce training all day. I always return a happy pup or kitty! I will not bring my own pets or children to any jobs! All of my attention will be on your furkids. I work a 1st shift, full time job. If you would like me to house-sit during weekdays, I will need access to a high-speed internet connection. I promise to care for your pets like my own, tidy up your house after your pets and myself, and follow your instructions very carefully.
Reviews
Laura is hands down the best house/dog/cat/horse sitter we have had the opportunity to work with. My wife and I have five senior dogs, two cats, and two senior horses. With so many animals, we haven't been able to travel for a couple of years. Finding someone trustworthy to stay in our home and care for our menagerie of seniors has been an uphill battle. That is, of course, until my wife found Laura on Rover! We planned a special wedding anniversary trip to Tokyo for a couple of weeks, and we couldn't have been more pleased with Laura. From the moment my wife reached out to her, she was responsive, communicative, and very thoughtful. During the time we were away, Laura made sure to communicate with us (including sending pictures), without being prompted (but also didn't send too many texts either). She tackled a long list of special care tasks, such as tending to their heating pads, various beds, etc. Laura even taught us a thing or two with how she set things up! After our two-week trip, we headed back to Laura thoughtfully communicating when she was leaving after having fed and cared for everyone. What we didn't expect, was for her to have cleaned everything, taken care of all the laundry, stripped, and made the bed up fresh for us, so when we got in, we could just rest! Laura is a gem and we are truly appreciative to her!
Laura is great! She take great care of my cats when we are gone.
She’s amazing! Clearly loves pups and even won over our old fart of a dog.
Laura is wonderful to work with and everyone seems to be happy after her visits!!!

Information Laura J. would like to know about your pet
Please provide information regarding health issues and any out of the ordinary care instructions up front. I will almost certainly be able to accommodate, but I just want to know sooner, rather than later, what to expect.
A typical day
I let the dogs lead me in their activities. If they want to run or play, we will go out and play! If they just want to chill out, we will veg out on the couch or floor and watch terrible reality TV.
