Pet care experience

I believe dogs thrive in an environment with lots of love and attention tailored to the specific needs of the animal. I tailor my services for your pup to keep them happy, healthy, and safe. Your dog will feel right at home in my roomy, bright apartment with a grassy park down the block and quiet backstreets for exploring, including a vibrant community garden. During your dog's stay: - You will receive daily pictures and updates of their stay and activities through the Rover app. - You can contact me at anytime through the Rover app or Rover number. - Your dog will have at least a 30 minute walk per directed potty break (unless specified not to). - Your dog will never be crated unless specified. - Your dog is allowed on furniture, and can freely run around the apartment during playtime. - Your dog will follow a set feeding/treat schedule. - Your dog becomes part of the family! Growing up with dogs as a child, I am comfortable with all breeds, ages, and sizes. My partner Samuel, who I live with, also loves dogs and is comfortable with all breeds, ages, and sizes. Samuel will sometimes accompany me on walks, but I will do all of the handling and feeding while your dog stays with me. I was encouraged to join Rover after providing dog-sitting services for three of my co-workers. Dogs bring so much joy into our lives, and my job is to provide you peace of mind while you're away. Send a message, and let's set up a Meet & Greet!

Laura was so great with our pup taco!!! We just picked him up and he was so happy he needed to say goodbye to Laura and her boyfriend before leaving! They sent updates regularly and even gave him a bath to freshen him up!!! Absolutely amazing pup sitters! We will definitely request Laura again!!! A+++++

She really took the time to get to know my wonderful friend, Nala. She was great at communicating what was happening with Nala, particularly how she was settling in. I highly recommend Laura.

A typical day

Walks will be around the neighborhood on the less busy streets and/or to the park down the street. I enjoy walking dogs for a minimum of 30 minutes per walk/potty break (unless dog is on a activity restriction or owner requests not to). My favorite loop is my from my apartment through the local community garden, back to my apartment, which is about a mile loop (18 - 20 minutes walking, not including stopping for sniffs or potty) followed by 10 minutes of exploring in the park down the street. If the owner is comfortable, I have access to a car and could also take your dog to your preferred dog park or location for extra fun!
