Veterinary Technician! 🩺 (former)

Pet care experience

Hi there! As much as I enjoy clinical therapy, I also have formal training as a vet tech and several years of experience in the field. I care strongly for cats as much as dogs, and my innate feelings of love, sensitivity, empathy and compassion make me truly happy in their presence! Even though I’ve had cats my whole life, I’m very experienced with dogs as well, in both formal and informal settings. I’m completely comfortable administering medications, giving injections (Ex: Insulin), administering fluids, taking care of sick/elderly/ICU pets, changing bandages, walking, feeding, playing with, and loving your furry friends. 💜 Please note: prices for my services are flexible for recurring services and in situations with multiple pets.

Laura did a great job with Bailey. She kept me informed with texts and photos. I will continue to use Laura when her schedule permits.

I can’t say enough great things about this dog sitter. From the very beginning, they were incredibly attentive and communicative, making me feel completely at ease leaving my pet in their care. They were always on time, reliable, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was taken care of exactly as requested. What truly stood out was the level of care and compassion they showed—treating my dog like their own. I received regular updates, which gave me peace of mind, and it was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved the entire time. It’s rare to find someone who is not only responsible and trustworthy, but also genuinely caring. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable and kind dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again!

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.
