I work full time as a histotech with a dermatology surgery, and my day starts at the lab at about 7am. However, I do not work on Fridays and my work days tend to end earlier than the scheduled 4pm. I am happy to stay overnight at any point during the week, but for more continuous time spent with your pet I am most available Friday-Sunday. I can also come straight from work during the week

Pet care experience

I have worked with dogs of all sizes and a variety of breeds, and I am comfortable with all breeds. I am willing to run with dogs on walks, if that is better for your dog. I have experience administering medication to both large and small dogs and would be comfortable doing so again. I have not been formally trained to train dogs, but I have personally trained my two and I would be willing to assist training. I do light grooming, as in I will brush fur and teeth while I dog sit.

Laura was so great with Magnus. From the first picture she sent while I was away he looked so comfortable and happy. I knew she would be a great sitter for him the moment we met. I will absolutely be booking with her in the future. Laura was great about asking questions and keeping me updated during his stay with her. She sent adorable pics which eased my separation anxiety. I would definitely recommend Laura to anyone who has a little guy. She's AWESOME!!!

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.
