Pet care experience
I got my first dog right out of college and have had 5 resident dogs since then. I have raised dogs from puppies and have cared for dogs through their senior years. I have been a foster for a local rescue for the past 2 years and also serve as an adoption screener working hard to find dogs a loving home. I have fostered puppies to adult dogs, and a variety of breeds and mixes. I feel honored to provide these dogs with a temporary loving and caring home. I am experienced at bathing dogs, trimming their nails, and giving them any oral medication required.
Reviews
Laura helped take care of our 7-year-old pup during our wedding weekend. We’ve never left him with a Rover before so we were a bit nervous at first, but Laura was very accommodating, communicative, and professional. He clearly was in excellent hands, giving us one less thing to worry about on our big day!
Laura took great care of our pup. Ophelia loves walking trails and having a buddy to sniff around with and obviously got along great with Laura’s dog Aria. We could tell she was in good hands. We would definitely ask Laura to care for Ophelia again. Thanks!
Perfect experience. Dogs had a good time. Safe. Active. Good communication. Would definitely use again.
Thank You Laura for making Springs day so much fun! She really enjoyed your company and she was exhausted all afternoon! Thanks Again Ed

I don't have a fenced in yard but I live on 2 acres of land. I love taking dogs on long walks and live close to various trail walks and the bike path. If I need to leave the house, I will crate dogs if needed or not; it all depends on the care you have already established with your dog. I love having dogs sleep in bed with me and cuddle on the couch. I have twin 17 year old daughters who, when they are home, will happily give your dog attention and love. We recently adopted a dog after losing our German Shepherd over a year ago. Aria is a sweet 1 year old husky who was rescued from Providence, and after fostering her, we couldn't let her go. She gets along well with all dogs she has met.
Home
Information Laura S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I should know ahead of time; such as around food or separation anxiety. My goal is to make sure your dog is as comfortable in my home as yours.
A typical day
We will take multiple walks each day - especially trail walks. I will walk your dog on a leash (I have various leashes depending on the dog from 3 feet to 50 feet). My favorite walk has a great place for dogs to swim (if they enjoy that). I will sit outside and play fetch if your dog needs to burn off more energy or simply enjoys playing. This can all be tailored based on your dogs needs - i.e., shorter walks for a senior dog, more playtime for a puppy.
