Safety, trust & environment

My boss at the grooming salon has described me as the “emotional support human” for the dogs at work, as I provide a natural, calm and trusting environment for them when they are particularly stressed out. I pride myself in meeting animal where they are at mentally, as each animal is different and requires different care, especially when they are stressed.

Information Laura S. would like to know about your pet

Lucas is quite loud and reactive to dogs on walks or outside the window. From what I can tell from reactivity training with previous dogs, Luke just wants to meet every dog and is not anxious when he barks. He is very focused (sometimes to a detriment) on being friends with other dogs, whether that is an option being offered or not. He’s great face-to-face and we’re working on boundaries and when it’s ok to initiate play.

A typical day

I have a fenced in yard that Lucas greatly enjoys patrolling. If we’re not snuggling on the couch or staring at dogs outside the window, we are sniffing everything to be sniffed in the backyard.

Animal lover, dog professional

Pet care experience

Important for potential boarders/doggy daycare clients: I have a delightful 90lb boy named Lucas who is not a fan of little male dogs and select few others. He is muzzle trained and we are working hard on boundaries. I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have worked as a shop assistant at a grooming salon for the past three years. I have watched over pets for friends and strangers many times, and have since become the go-to pick for any kind of animal care amongst friends and friends of friends.

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.
