Pet care experience

Stay at home parent who loves dogs!

I have cared for dogs since the age of 13 from small dogs such as Yorkies and Westies to black Labradors to Golden Retrievers. Pets in our family are treated as family members and get the best care possible, from lots of attention and exercise, to calm spaces to lounge during nap time to a fenced backyard for sitting in the sun and chewing a stick. I am very active so if your pet needs several long walks throughout the day, I am more than obliged to accommodate. I’m treating this as my full-time job and as a labor of love. If your pet stays with me, I want to build your trust and become a trusted pet sitter you can come to time and again whenever you are out of town or need your dog attended to. This is loving household with an extremely lovable and kind almost 6 year old Golden Retriever named Rudy. I am the only person who will be caring for your pet with love and dedication while you are away. I hope you will consider me as your choice to watch your treasured companion and I look forward to meeting you and your best friend!

Laura is someone I would trust completely with the care of any dog. She is responsible, dependable, patient, and most importantly, she has a genuine love for animals that shows in the way she cares for them. Our dog, Rudy, is truly a member of our family, and Laura has always taken exceptional care of him. She is attentive to his needs, makes sure he is comfortable and well cared for, and gives him plenty of love and attention. She understands that caring for a dog is more than simply feeding them or taking them outside—it’s about making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. Laura is also very reliable and takes her responsibilities seriously. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone else with a pet you love, and I believe that is something she understands extremely well. She would treat another family’s dog with the same patience, attention, and kindness that she gives Rudy. As her husband, I have had the opportunity to see firsthand the amount of love and care she puts into our own dog every day. I would have complete confidence recommending Laura to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring person to look after their dog. I truly believe anyone who chooses her through Rover will feel comfortable knowing their dog is in very good hands.

Schedule

I am a full-time stay at home mom, so I am home all day everyday. I have a 5.5 year old kind and loving neutered Golden Retriever that is a part of our family. I have two children that are 11 and 13 and love animals as much as me. There are always multiple people at home to shower your pet with love and attention. Making pets feel seen and appreciated is a priority for me. Lots of walks and outdoor time in addition to our fenced backyard is crucial.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced backyard and a pet Golden Retriever to keep your fur baby company while you are away. I don’t mind sending daily pics and text updates on how your pet is doing if so requested. I consider pets to be members of the family and deserve the best care possible. I care about all animals and their well-being and happiness is my priority. From the time I was young, my family always had dogs and I always was the child that gladly took care of and walked the dogs. I am very active and would give your dog whatever care was requested to make sure their stay was amazing while you are gone.
