I had the great pleasure of having Laura stay and look after my two dogs over this past weekend. It was my first time using Rover.com and Laura. She was everything any pet owner could hope for. She was friendly, engaging, totally immersed in the well-being of my dogs and she had a natural warmth that resonated with my dogs. She made me comfortable to be away from home and I quickly developed my trust in her. She took the dogs out for walks and runs frequently and ensured that they had full and active days in my absence. She also kindly shared videos and pics with me frequently so I could see what the pups were up to at home. I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a great person to care for their pets and home while they are away. The pups and I very much look forward to having Laura back again soon and on a regular basis.

Laura is fantastic. She was able to accommodate my pups last minute and was very kind. She asks excellent questions and communicates very well. I was always kept up to date. The pups loved her and I’d book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you Laura!

They say dogs are like family, and thats exactly how Laura treats our little guy. He is always so excited to see her. She has a genuine love for animals, which we admire. We would highly recommend Laura! The Soares Family

Laura is incredibly gentle and patient with animals. She did drop in visits for my two cats, including one who is very wary of strangers and always hides. Somehow, Laura got him to come out and sit near her in the living room! He never did that! She’s the only person I fully trust with my pets. I highly recommend her as a responsible and loving caregiver.

Laura is honestly the best! She’s so kind and caring with animals, and you can tell she truly loves what she does. My pets warmed up to her right away, which says a lot because they can be shy at first. She always keeps me updated, and goes out of her way to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I never have to worry when Laura’s taking care of them, I know they’re in great hands. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for someone who genuinely loves and understands animals!
