Kind, engaging, ready to play
Pet care experience
I’ve watched pets as much as I could the last few years, working full time on Rover for a year after college. I graduated from Wheaton with a Christian Formation and Ministry degree a few years ago, and am currently learning design with lots of free time to watch pets! I have experience watching (and living with) dogs as large as a St. Bernard, as well as puppy experience. I’ve loved animals since I was young. Growing up I raised 2 litters of kittens until they were adopted, and at one point there were 8 cats in our home! One of my favorite parts of what I do is getting to give pets lots of attention while also spending lots of time outdoors. I have a high value for kindness and positive reinforcement for pets. I have lots of experience with dogs and cats, and am happy to care for other animals as well. I love to stay in contact with owners with updates and questions throughout stays. I look forward to meeting you, and I’m excited to see if I’ll be a good fit for you and the furry members of your family!

About Laura M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always keep dogs on a leash on walks, and only let them out off leash if there is a fenced yard. I typically avoid meeting other dogs or people on walks until I’m confident that the dog is ready for it and the owner has given permission.
Information Laura M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know about any medications, special needs, or tendencies to escape, as well as any behaviors I should be aware of. I’m a big fan of instructions - too much information is always better than too little!
A typical day
I love to play fetch, tug of war, or even hide and seek with pups. I love exploring the neighborhood on walks, and if there is a lake or forest preserve, even better!

Availability
I currently have a pretty flexible schedule, and I will always do my best to fit your pet in! For house sitting requests, I may not be able to stay with your pet full time during the day depending on how full my schedule is, but feel free to still ask!
