Not sure where to begin with Laura other than we LOVED her and you should stop searching rover and book with her right now! She was the best at every step of the way - from initial inquiry for booking, to meet & great, to confirming pick up, the stay with Charlie, communication, etc, everything she did was top notch. Charlie stayed 16 nights with Laura - we know he fell in love with her and will miss her dearly! Some more details: Request for booking - before confirming the booking she called us to go over discuss his demeanor, his usual schedule, go over any quirks, etc Meet & great - we met at her house to do the meet & great, it went without a hitch and she made us feel so at ease that Charlie would be staying with her. She only ever has one dog with her and this is her full time gig, so you don’t have to worry about someone booking and then ignoring your dogs needs. You can tell that Laura has experienced just about everything, which is comforting when leaving your dog for a long duration. Check in before drop off - she checked in leading up to drop off to make sure all details were squared away. Charlie had had seizures in the past & takes 5 pills a day, so his pill schedule and regime is quite difficult and takes a bit of explanation, but she was not at all worried and made us feel so at ease! She asked a bunch of questions to make sure she got to know everything about Charlie before her stay. She went over details we didn’t even think about like what are some of his commands for going potty or get your toy. During the stay: this truly was a vacation for Charlie! Laura has a fenced in yard where Charlie could have access whenever he wanted, and she took him on multiple very long walks throughout the day. He definitely more exercised than when he’s with us! We didn’t meet her husband, but we got some photo updates with Charlie cuddled up to him, so we know her husband was very involved with Charlie too! Laura let us know that she would give multiple photo updates throughout the day and if there is an emergency she would start off with saying it’s an emergency, all other texts she would say would be for fun! She sent 4-6 updates per day which we loved and was super conscious about the time difference! She allowed Charlie on the couch and to sleep in her bed (she said she follows whatever routine the parents have established for him!) The icing on the cake was Denielle, her business partner, who is her back-up plan. If Laura has a long appointment or something, Denielle steps in and in the off chance Laura had an emergency, Denielle is there! It was awesome! All in all, this was the best Rover experience we’ve ever had! In fact, the day we picked Charlie up we already re-booked Laura for our next vacation!!

Laura was a phenomenal sitter and took care of our dog as we would have. Our dog doesn’t do too well with other dogs, and so finding a place that didn’t have other pets for Lacey was very stressful for us. Thank god we found Laura!! This was also our first time leaving our dog away from us so we were naturally very nervous, but Laura was so good about sending updates and pictures regularly. Lacey felt so comfortable at her place and I have no doubt that Laura can not only take care of your dog but also make sure you feel comfortable and confident in leaving your dog with her. She is extremely thorough, making sure that your dog has a safe and enjoyable stay. I will definitely be booking with Laura again.
