Dog walking and pet sitting are an integral part of my daily routine. As Rover is my only job, I take it very seriously and dedicate my time to ensuring each pet receives the attention and love they deserve.

This role not only brings me joy, but also allows me to build lasting relationships with both pets and their parents.

Laura is so capable and professional. My senior citizen kitty had a medical need. Laura took her to the vet (this kitty is very tough. She does not like going to the e vet)! Laura got her all taken care of and has been giving her her meds. She’s just fantastic.
