Pet care experience

Experienced LIC pet sitter! 🐶🐈

In the past 4 years with Rover, I've taken care of senior dogs with medical needs, dogs with special needs (blindness) and puppies in training. I work from home full-time and love to have “coworkers” through pet sitting! I know taking care of your best friend is a big responsibility and I hope to make it as fun and stress-free as I can for both of us. Fun fact: Dachshunds are my favorite breed 🌭 I bought doggy stairs to take care of their backs!

Laura is a wonderful sitter! This was Jackson’s second stay either her. She was patient and caring with him for a long stay. Because of his blindness and cognitive decline he was a bit scared and she tried hard to make him feel comfortable. Laura followed all instructions excellently and kept us informed daily with photos end reports. She watched him carefully and noticed something that required an emergency vet visit which she handled perfectly. Thank you Laura for taking such good care of Jackson and he would love to stay with you again!

Laura was great with our senior dog, Jackson! He has some physical issues but Laura knew how to take good care of him. She kept us informed throughout his stay. She is very responsible and even made a “safe” area for him. Already booked another stay with Laura!

Laura was great with Stuart while I was away. She was super communicative and kept me in the loop with regular updates and photos, which I really appreciated. It was clear he was well taken care of and comfortable the whole time. I’d definitely book with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Laura was wonderful. Very easy to get along with, knows her way around dogs, and very communicative. She took our dog on several walks per day and shared many photos. Our dog was happy in every one of them.

Schedule

My day to day is very open and flexible. I work from home full time and stay with pets 75%-100% of the time they are in my care, depending on your pet’s needs. I usually go on walks/runs in the afternoons so its exercise for both me and your dogs, if they're active.

Safety, trust & environment

My apartment is smoke-free and no other animals live here. I also have some small doggy stairs to get on sofas/beds as needed. My building has doormen and porters that I can call in the case of any emergencies.

A typical day

I live right by the LIC waterfront and Hunters Point South Park so your dogs will get tons of play and park time every day if they're high energy, or a light long walk with some great views.
