Animal Lover Extraordinaire

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Laura and a loving fur mom to my rescue girl, Roxie. I'm skilled at dog CPR as well as administering both oral and IM drugs. I've had dogs nearly all my life and have plenty of experience with large (my previous dog was a Bernese Mountain Dog) as well as small dogs and cats. I've also fostered both large and small dogs over the past five years and done transports for shelters to fosters and rescues. I provide house sittings, walks, and drop in feedings and play time. I will ensure your dog(s) and/or cat(s) is/are always safe in my care and handled appropriately around other animals. I will make sure they're walked and get one on one play time, treats (as appropriate), and of course good 'ole love with belly rubs! I'll definitely send photos for you & make sure your animals have a great time while you're away. I prefer to watch your pet in your home as they're most comfortable in their own surroundings but once I've sat for you, I'd be happy to consider watching your baby/babies in my home if I feel it's a fit. If I pet sit for you in your home, I am responsible and clean and you will not know I've been there. I pick up and keep everything neat and tidy, and your home will be cleaner than when you left. Also, if you're not interested in someone staying at your home, my 'house sitting' rate would include at least 3 drop ins per day, and possibly 4 depending upon your location and my schedule; for playtime, walks, meals, medicine, etc. I'll also be happy to water plants, pick up mail, or anything else needed. If you're ever unable to find time on my Rover calendar, please reach out to me first. Many times, I'm able to squeeze in another house sitting, drop in, or walk depending upon your needs and requirements. I'm also happy to watch other pets, including any exotic or farm animals. If you're new to Rover, please feel free to use this code for a $20 discount, whether you book with me or another sitter. LAURAO42359 https://www.rover.com/sit/laurao42359

Laura always takes great care of our dog and cat when we go out of town. She is a great communicator, sending reports of how things are with the pets at home. Allows me to enjoy my time away without worry. Our dog, Taffy, loves walks with Laura and her dog friend Roxie. Our cat, Bella, also gets tons of playtime and attention. Thank you Laura and Roxie!

Laura is amazing with my Guinevere. She is so derail and caring and really takes the time to care and spend time with my baby. She knew that this is the first time I've left her in the care of someone else and eased my anxiety with great follow-up and lots of pictures. She super responsive and so easy to communicate with. I will definitely book Laura in the future and highly recommend her to anyone. I think I got really lucky to find such a great sitter on my first search.

This is our second time with Laura and again we couldn't have asked for more! We're able to enjoy our time away knowing our babies are safe and loved!

This wad our first time using a pet sitter for our 3 cats and Laura was everything I could have asked for and more! I'm super neurotic and was dreading leaving them but Laura was so great I didn't worry about my babies once! Laura was fantastic with communicating and showered my cats with love and attention! They got brushed, treats, taught new tricks and I got plenty of pictures and videos!! We already booked Laura again for an upcoming trip! I highly recommend her!!

I will tailor walks and sittings to each animal and their energy level as well as owner requests. I love to take dogs to dog parks or the dog beach and make sure they're properly exercised.

I started pet sitting through Rover in 2019 after being laid off from my job of over 19 years. I am now back to work but am still able to do house sittings, drop ins, and walks depending upon your pets' needs, location, and times. I prefer to have a phone conversation to discuss your pets' needs and make sure my schedule will work for you and your babies. My main concern is making sure that I'm supplying the best possible care. Once we speak, if you think I am a fit, I provide a complimentary meet and greet so I can meet you and your fur family and you can meet me to make sure you feel comfortable. Unless previously discussed, I don't accept bookings for new clients until a meet and greet has been completed.
