Pet care experience

Loving care for pets of all kinds

I’ve been house sitting and pet sitting for family and friends for as long as I can remember—starting as early as my high school years. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I’m very comfortable taking on the responsibility of someone else’s home and beloved pets.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, following their routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and regular updates with photos so you always know how they’re doing.

Laura was great! She sent the cutest photos during every visit and actually spent time with our cats. She was attentive, punctual, and followed the plans. Great care- thank you Laura!

I appreciated the daily updates from Laura while we were away. And that she actually got a glimpse (photo too!) of one of our shy cats. But I was disappointed to find their water bowl empty and the fountain water level below the height of the pump so no water was available to the cats when we returned. I can only hope that the water levels had not been that way for long.

Laura did a great job caring for my special needs cat even though he was a handful.

Laura was the best sitter we could have asked for. She treated our dog like her own and sent lots of pictures and updates which were incredibly appreciated. It puts your mind at ease when traveling!

Schedule

Drop Ins & Walks: I currently work full-time running a daycare, so my weekday availability is focused on early mornings and evenings. I’m available before 7:00 AM and after 5:00 PM Monday through Friday, which works great for morning and evening routines. I’m also available all day on Saturdays and Sundays, allowing for more flexible scheduling, longer visits, and extra attention on weekends. I always do my best to communicate clearly and confirm availability in advance to make sure I’m a good fit for your pet’s needs. Boarding: My work is run out of my home so i am available almost 24/7! Your pet can enjoy my spacious fenced in backyard as much as they’d like, or relax inside with the huge selection of toys! I would also like to note that no kids ever come into contact with your animals so that everyone is safe, i have a separate area in my house.

Please let me know about your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, favorite toys, energy level, and any behaviors or anxieties they may have. I also appreciate knowing how they do with other pets, people, and being left alone. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make their stay comfortable and stress-free!
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.
