I work FT Sun-Thurs and have more flexibility on my weekends. I have a 4 yo 35lb spayed female dog of my own, Annie, who is an experienced playmate and pet sitter herself. If you are requesting me to house sit I will need to bring Annie overnight. If you would prefer not having another dog in your house I am happy to drop-in before and after work and before bed during the week with more flexibility on weekends. I am happy to drop in and help you with medications, walks, subcutaneous fluids, or other support for your beloved animals.

I will care for your four legged, winged, hooved, scaled, and other family members as if they are my own. Their safety, happiness, and health are my top priorities.

Information Laura P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs and I will be sure to accommodate them. It is also a good idea to provide your veterinarian's information as well as an emergency contact if possible.

A typical day

I am happy to walk, run, hike, cuddle, and play with dogs! I love engaging cats with their favorite toys, cat nip, and treats. If cuddles, pets, and company is what your pet needs then that is what they shall have. If they prefer social distancing, I can accommodate that as well. Administering medicine is no problem for me. I am happy to exercise horses as an experienced equestrian, feed, clean stalls, turn out, etc. I can professionally wrap legs, administer meds, take care of wounds, give injections, and know the signs of coloc and other ailmemts. Bonus, I have passed many nasogastric tubes in colicky horses.

Laura was an excellent catsitter while we were away. She was communicative, sent lots of photos, and made sure our cats got plenty of play time. One of our cats had just had a procedure and Laura made sure she was feeling okay and recovering nicely.

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.
