Safety, trust & environment

When pet sitting in your home I can spend the day in the home making sure the animals are taken care of and am available to walk and feed them as needed. I will treat your fur babies with the same care as I do my own!

Information Laura P. would like to know about your pet

It is good to know the energy level of the dog ahead of time to make sure I am keeping up with their needs. It is also good to know their normal schedule so I can stick to that as much as possible.

A typical day

I like to take dogs on long walks and play fetch with them in the backyard if there is one. I will give them lots of cuddles while you are away.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Laura! I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life—from energetic puppies to senior pets who just want a comfy cuddle. I work full-time but have flexible availability on evenings and weekends for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I’m great with: High-energy dogs who need long walks Timid or rescue pets who need a gentle approach Special needs or senior pets (meds, mobility support) Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priority. I’ll treat them like family and keep you updated with photos and notes every visit. Let me know how I can help—you can count on me to show up with care, calm, and a leash in hand!

Laura is absolutely wonderful with our senior pup. She is a great communicator and has made us feel so comfortable leaving our home and our little guy in very capable and caring hands.

Laura was great with my dog Willow! She showed up on time, took good care of her and texted a lot of pics and updates throughout the day.

Laura was amazing! She came timely, gave great notes on each visit she was there as well as provided great photos of the dogs some of which made me giggle. Highly recommend her for any dog watching needs!

When we needed a relatively last-minute sitter for our energetic pups, Laura came through for us! She was wonderful with our girls and took great care of our house while we were out of town. Laura was personable, communicated well, and was so easy to work with. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a responsible sitter who will leave your pups happy!

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.
