Safety, trust & environment

When visiting pets, I’m always very careful not to let them slip out the door, and once I’m in I’m very willing to take it at the pet’s pace! I’m experienced with waiting out nervous ones or throwing toys over and over and over for energetic ones!

Information Laura S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, behaviors to watch out for, or if I need to bring anything special for them! I’ll be as accommodating as I can!

A typical day

I love taking walks around Boston in general, and also with dogs, and I really like visiting the dog parks in different neighborhoods! Once we’re at a park, I’m very willing to play fetch or tug a rope or encourage zoomies for as long as the dog seems to be having a good time!

Laura has been great with my pup! I would definitely recommend her to others. My dog is very anxious and takes time to warm up to new people. Laura was extremely patient with her and took the time to work with her to get her comfortable. Laura is also very communicative and accommodating with scheduling.

Laura was great at communicating with me and taking care of my cat Charlie. I’d definitely rebook with her!

Laura was great! Our dog is very nervous around new people but Laura spent time to gain her trust, and was very communicative and flexible with us. Would book her 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.
