Retired military, reliable

Pet care experience

ABOUT ME: I'm a retired military veteran so I have a flexible schedule. I work from home most days. Because I am up very early either walking my own dogs or clients dogs, I shut my phone off at 9 p.m. every evening. I answer all incoming requests the next morning by 8 a.m. Prior to working with Rover, I was a high school history teacher, a flight attendant and a police officer. So, I've had a lot of different jobs and like to think I'm good in new situations. In the past, I worked for a rescue placing animals in new homes for over a year, so I've had a lot of experience with all different types of animals, including fostering dogs and kittens in my home. My dogs mean the world to me. Matilda, my Shiba Inu-Lab Mix, who is a big goofball and loves everything and everyone! And my sweet girl, Cinnamon who is a Husky-German Shepherd Mix (she's on the small side), who is mostly blind. I would take special care of your animal like they were my own. Thank you for considering me.

Laura was awesome and willing to be flexible with us as plans changed. We are so happy to have found someone to watch Dyson and May so we can get away occasionally. Highly recommend!

Laura did a fantastic job with my Jojo. She sent pictures and gave me updates everyday. I will use her again in the future. I totally recommend her.

Laura was great! She was super helpful and not only did she take great care or my 2 kitties, she also watered my garden for me! I came home to 2 happy cats and a lot of tomatoes :)
