Safety, trust & environment

I have been told I’m kind of a “helicopter parent” when it comes to my dogs but that comes in handy when dog sitting! I have a fenced yard, two little dogs, and animals are allowed on furniture! I am fine with separating my dogs, if that’s preferred - I have the space! Guests will have first priority, of course. I have experience with crated dogs and do have my own large crate here.

Information Laura K. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know how your dog reacts to other dogs as I have two little ones at home. Also, commands known, unique habits or issues, and favorite treats.

A typical day

I have a big yard, lots of toys, and many spaces to snooze inside the nice air conditioned house. Everyone will get fed separately, in their own space. Currently, if I leave the house - I leave a movie on for my dogs.

Cuddles, Couch Time & Big Yard

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover (yes, my first email was animalluver4life@hotmail). I grew up with nine dogs — each with their own Christmas stocking — and now have two pups and one very loved cat at home. I’ve cared for senior dogs, special needs pets, and cats of all kinds. Whether your pet wants cuddles or space, I’ll make sure they feel safe and loved.

Most wonderful sitter ever. My cat and home are well cared for while we're away. It's such a load off my mind. So happy we found Laura. We can always count on her.

Laura is always amazing! We left Benny with her for a full week this time while going on a cruise and cannot say enough good things. We got plenty of updates and I know that he had an amazing time playing with her pups in her big backyard somehow he was returned to us cleaner than when we dropped him off ! We will always love to use Laura rather than a boarding facility because I know Benny has such a great time and is in great hands.

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.
