Responsible animal lover
Pet care experience
I have bonded with cats and dogs since I can remember. I had family cats and dogs growing up, which I helped to care for, and have had two dogs of my own during adulthood. I even lived in a 4-dog household at one point! I am always drawn to animals and they seem to always sense that I am an animal-lover as well. I recently said goodbye to my 11-year-old, 90 lb. mutt (likely a shepherd, husky, coonhound mix) named Cliff. He had multiple leg surgeries and ongoing mobility challenges, but I know that I took the best possible care of him through the health struggles. The transition into daily life without him has been really tough, but I would like to take some time before adopting another dog -- so I am eager to help out with pet sitting needs in the meantime! I frequently take care of pets for friends and family and also use Rover for Cliff as needed. I have decided to become a sitter because I just love meeting and spending time with new dogs/cats. I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pup at home and there's nothing better than feeling safe and calm with their care while you are away, which I'd love to provide for you!
Reviews
Jimmy continues to love his time with Laura!
Laura was absolutely fantastic to Jimmy while I was gone. He had to wear a cone, and Laura made him feel so comfortable and loved. Will definitely use again.
Laura was great! Kept me updated and even took Bob on a hike! He was very happy and comfortable when I picked him up looked like he had a great time with her!
Laura was wonderful! She’s an experienced dog owner and gave Callie the princess treatment for the weekend! Would use her again. Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a classic tri-level home with some stairs but a lot of carpeting, which is great for dogs that don't love a slippery surface. I have a fully fenced in, secure back yard.

Let me know how your dog interacts with other humans and dogs, what their favorite/least favorite activities are, their eating/bathroom habits, and what might help to comfort them if they are feeling anxious without you!
A typical day
