I'm an empty nester and work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I am fine with a set schedule or an on-call, as-needed basis and can usually accommodate last minute requests.

Safety, trust & environment

I've lived in Elk Grove for over 30 years so am familiar with the local parks and dog parks, veterinary facilities and animal shelters. For home visits, in addition to feeding and watering I can walk your dog, take them to the park, or just play in the back yard and even help with training. I will also clean up after them if needed. For cats I will feed, water, brush, play, clean litter boxes, etc. Just let me know what you would like me to do and I will do it!

Information Laura T. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, allergies, medications, likes, dislikes, behavioral issues....I can work with any and all! I will totally customize my service to meet your pet’s needs.

A typical day

When visiting your pups I will play, walk, feed, water, pick up after them. If you want me to take them to the park or help with training I can do that too...whatever you like! For cats I’ll do the same and clean the litter box(es).

Pets

Your peace of mind ☮️

Pet care experience

I know that leaving your pets behind can be worrisome so my goal is to give you the peace of mind you need in order to enjoy your time away! I will send as many photos and updates as you can stand and you can text me anytime. I've been an animal lover since I was little and now that the human kids are gone, the pets have become my fur kids! I've also been volunteering at local shelters (Sacramento City, Elk Grove, Sacramento SPCA) as a dog walker/cat socializer and foster parent for the last 20+ years. All of our pets have been rescues so I definitely have a soft spot for them. I feel comfortable with all breeds and can handle most behavioral issues and even help with training/correcting if you'd like. I am also experienced with giving medications.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a great experience and would absolutely book Laura again! She did drop-in visits for my three dogs over four days and did an excellent job. I received lots of photos and updates, which really put me at ease while I was away. She made me feel completely comfortable trusting her with my dogs and my home. My dogs were well cared for, happy, and clearly loved during each visit. I’m very grateful and highly recommend Lauea to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.

It was great to have Laura drop-in to check on my cats while we were away for the weekend. She's very easy to communicate with and I feel very safe having her care for them. We have booked with her before and the cats are very comfortable with her. I highly recommend her to others.

Laura is amazing! Sent us pics and videos while we were away of our kitties and meet all their needs. Gave us a sigh of relief to have her tending to them and care for them. She’s very flexible and such a kind lady. We would definitely reach out to her again in the future.

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.
