- Has your dog ever shown any leash reactivity, aggression, or resource guarding? - Any medical conditions, medications, or special care instructions? - Any food or environmental allergies?

Pet care experience

I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pup like family while you're away. I work from home full-time, so your dog will always have company and lots of cuddles throughout the day. - I only host one client at a time, so you dont have to worry about unfamiliar dogs during their stay. -Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a slower-paced routine, I’m happy to match their needs. -I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also have experience with dogs with separation anxiety and food or environmental allergies. 📷 You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. **I live in an apartment building, so I can't safely accommodate large dogs that are reactive to people or other dogs, since it's not possible to completely avoid encounters in shared spaces.**

Laura was so accommodating and flexible to our schedule and needs for Koda. She loved her so well while in her care. We can’t recommend her enough. If we ever need help again in the future, Laura will be our first call!

Laura was very friendly and responsive. She took greta care of Arthur. They went on walks and played together & he was very happy when he came home.

Laura is absolutely wonderful and I can’t recommend her enough! She gave my pup so much love while we were gone…and think he would’ve loved to have extended his little staycation at her home. She is very responsive, sends the cutest pictures, and provided my pup with a calm, joyful, caring home away from home. We will definitely be using her again!

Laura was fantastic! Our German Shepherd received exceptional care from her. We appreciated the frequent updates that reassured us our pet was doing wonderfully. It's clear Laura genuinely cares. After 8 years of using Rover and trying many sitters, Laura stands out as the best. Thanks again, Laura, for taking great care of our girl!

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.
