My shy dog quickly warmed up to Laura and enjoyed spending time with her. Would happily have Laura watch him again!

Laura is the absolute best! She kept my mind at ease while traveling abroad and taking care of my pup. Sent daily photos, updates, and just overall piece of mind. Winston slept like a rock once getting home - the sign of a great dog sitter. I will definitely be using Laura as a sitter in the future - Winston and I both love her!

Laura was the best!!! Arrived on time and spent the whole week with Milo. She kept us up to date on a daily basis with how he was doing and sent pics of their daily walks. We really loved that and gave us piece of mind he was doing well. We have only had Milo 5 months (he is a little over 1 yr old) and we really wanted someone who would be around and could handle his puppy behavior! Laura was perfect for that. I highly recommend her! Thanks Laura!!

Having entrusted my beloved dog to my friend's care on multiple occasions, I can wholeheartedly attest to her exceptional pet-sitting skills and unwavering dedication! Not only did they provide a safe and nurturing environment for my baby, but they also went above and beyond to ensure he felt loved and cherished as she helped me out. Laura’s reliability, compassion, and genuine love for dogs truly shine through in her attentive care. I am endlessly grateful for her friendship and the peace of mind she brings whenever my dog is in her care. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

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.
