Labradors/High-Energy Dogs Welcome!

Pet care experience

Having had the joy of raising a high-energy, big-hearted black Lab for 15 wonderful years, my passion for dogs led me to embrace the role of a pet and house sitter. Over the past several years, I have been entrusted with the care of 14 dogs solely through referrals from friends and word of mouth. Recently, someone suggested I expand my services by joining Rover. As a remote worker, I have the incredible advantage of being able to devote my entire day to caring for your beloved pets in the comfort of their own home. During my time with them, I prioritize showering them with love and attention, making the most of every break by engaging in walks, playtime, and invigorating games of fetch. Rest assured that I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own, understanding their individual needs and providing a nurturing environment that promotes their well-being and happiness. With me as their dedicated pet sitter, your precious creatures will receive the utmost care, ensuring that they feel safe, loved, and cherished throughout your time away.

I am Laura's mother; it is amazing how much she cares about the dogs she sits. I don't know where she gets this love for dogs, because I am not a dog lover. I see the pictures and videos she takes of each dog and sends to their owners. She shares the cute things they do along with their individual personalities. Besides taking exceptional care of each dog she takes good care of the home and everything that goes with it.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide dedicated and compassionate care for pets in the comfort of their own home. Here's how I ensure the well-being and happiness of the dogs I care for: Love and Attention: Since I work remotely, I have the flexibility to spend quality time with the dogs, offering them undivided love and attention. I make it a priority to develop a bond with each pet, providing companionship and reassurance throughout their time under my care. Calm and Comfortable Environment: I create a serene and familiar environment for the dogs in their own home. I ensure that their living area is clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. This includes providing cozy bedding, access to water and food, and maintaining a tidy space. Exercise and Play: Regular exercise is essential for a dog's physical and mental well-being. I engage the dogs in stimulating play sessions, tailored to their energy levels and preferences. This may include interactive toys, gentle exercises, and mental stimulation activities to keep them entertained and engaged. Routine Maintenance: I follow the dog's established routine as closely as possible, adhering to their feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. Maintaining consistency helps dogs feel secure and minimizes disruptions to their daily lives. Communication with Owners: While working remotely, I maintain open and regular communication with the pet owners. This includes updates on their dog's well-being, sharing photos and videos, and addressing any concerns or questions they may have. I ensure that the owners feel connected and reassured about their pet's care even from a distance. Additional Services: In addition to providing love and attention, I am also available to perform other necessary tasks such as administering medication, grooming (if required), and light housekeeping related to the pet's care (e.g., cleaning up after accidents).

Information Laura T. would like to know about your pet

To ensure the utmost care and a tailored experience for every dog I pet-sit, there are several key pieces of information that are important to know ahead of time. Understanding these details helps me create a comfortable and enjoyable environment for the dogs in my care. Here are the crucial points: Health and Medical History: It's essential for me to be aware of any existing health conditions, allergies, or dietary restrictions that the dog may have. Knowing about their medical history, including vaccinations and medications, enables me to provide appropriate care and respond effectively in case of any emergencies. Behavioral Traits and Temperament: Understanding a dog's temperament, behavior, and any specific triggers or anxieties they may have is vital. This information helps me create a safe and stress-free environment and enables me to handle the dog appropriately during different situations. Daily Routine and Preferences: Dogs thrive on routine, so it's crucial to know about their regular schedule, including feeding times, exercise routines, and any specific preferences they may have. Maintaining consistency in their daily routine provides a sense of comfort and familiarity while they are under my care. Training and Commands: Knowing the level of training the dog has received, including the commands they respond to, helps me maintain consistency and reinforce their training while they are with me. It ensures a smoother experience and helps to prevent any confusion or behavior issues. Socialization and Interactions: Understanding the dog's socialization skills and their behavior around other animals, both dogs and other pets, is important. This allows me to plan appropriate social interactions or make necessary arrangements to ensure their comfort and safety. Contact Information: Having the contact details of the dog's owner or emergency contact person is essential in case of any unforeseen circumstances or for seeking guidance or permission when needed. By gathering and understanding this important information ahead of time, I can provide the best possible care and create a personalized experience for each dog I pet-sit, ensuring their safety, happiness, and well-being throughout their time with me.

A typical day

Tail-Wagging Playtime: I ensure ample playtime for the dogs, engaging them in interactive games, fetch, and tug-of-war to keep their high energy levels entertained. Enriching Outings: I love taking dogs on stimulating outdoor excursions to special places like local dog parks, nature trails, or dog-friendly beaches. These outings provide opportunities for them to explore new scents, sights, and socialize with other furry friends. Furry Fitness: For high-energy dogs, I incorporate energizing activities such as jogging or running sessions to provide an outlet for their boundless energy and promote physical fitness. Brain-Teasing Challenges: Mental stimulation is essential for a dog's overall well-being. I engage them in puzzle toys, obedience training, and interactive activities that keep their minds sharp and curious. Relaxation and Cuddles: After an active day, I ensure dogs have dedicated relaxation time, providing cozy spots for them to unwind, snuggle, and receive lots of affection. Personalized Attention: I understand that each dog has unique preferences and needs. I tailor activities and outings based on their personalities, energy levels, and any specific requests from their owners. With my dog-sitting services, you can rest assured that your beloved labradors and high-energy dogs will have a blast with engaging activities and outings tailored just for them.
