Safety, trust & environment

Above all, I want your pet to be comfortable and safe. I will do my best to adjust to their personality and needs. Is your fur baby shy? I'll wait for them to come to me. Is your fur baby playful and cuddly? I'll give them lots of quality time. I will follow all food, water, and medicine instructions as needed. And most of all, I will treat them as I would my own pet.

Information Laura K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special physical, dietary, or behavioral needs. I am sure I can accommodate as needed if given instructions.

A typical day

I like to exercise and/or play with the pets I watch. Which could be either a walk, a stroll in the yard, or playing with toys. If there is any training going on, I don't mind reinforcing that training (reinforcing not to jump, reinforcing to sit for treat etc.). And if you're pet is open to it then I'm all about cuddles and pets.

Pet care experience

I have always grown up with dogs and cats and have been taking care of them since I was young. I've also been a Rover sitter for a little over a yaer now. I had my own dog, Isabel, for 12 years. I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes of dogs as well as with senior dogs or puppies.

Laura is fantastic with my German shepherd!! She communicated well during a logistical hiccup our first booking, and she clearly cares well for my dog. She followed my instructions/pro tips well and finds a good balance of exercise and cuddles! Excited to have her keep caring for my dog :)

She took such good care of my cat. Not just feeding and making sure the basics were taken care of, but spent time to play with and give some pets and scratches to my fur baby each visit.

Once again Laura has done a great job with my 2 cats. She goes above and beyond. Would definitely use her again. Highly recommend.

This is my second time trusting my cats to Laura and I think she must become my go-to cat sitter! She is great, responsive, and reliable :)

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.
