Trusthworthy/Friendly Animal Lover

Hi there! My name is Laura and I am a person with a huge heart for animals and have been my entire life! Most of my experience comes from my personal background of owning larger dogs in my family and on my own as an adult. I grew up with a yellow lab and now have a pitbull mix and a lab mix, so I am very familiar and skilled with handling large breeds and their exercise needs and behaviors. There are dogs of all sizes in my family and I feel very comfortable caring for and playing with pups of all sizes, too! I have brought both of my dogs to training courses and feel confident with handling various dog breeds. I bring a warm, welcoming personality which can help with animals that are more shy and are missing their parents. I take a nurturing and maternal approach with all pets to make sure that they know I can be trusted. I look forward to bonding with your beloved friends and being a Rover employee you can count on! Feel free to message me with any questions. *Also, if there are specific dates that I am listed as unavailable on my calendar & you are interested in booking, send me a message and I will see if I am able to accommodate your request.*

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When taking care of your dog(s), I always make sure that they are in sight and either safely inside your home, in a fenced in yard or on a leash. I am vigilant about making sure any pets I take care of are always accounted for and never running loose on their own, as I treat your pups as I would treat my own. When it comes to house sitting, with all my clients I like to stay overnight at their home so they can feel at ease knowing their pets are being watched after and there is someone present to watch over their property while away.

Laura was great to work with and treated our dog like her own. She was very patient with her barking and anxiety. She was great at giving updates to ease our anxiety too!

Laura was amazing and her love for animals shows instantly. It was hard for me thinking about having a new person come to my home to take care of my pup, but Laura instantly put my mind at ease when we met. She was also super understanding and flexible with my need to change the care plan/needs due to my pups injury. I look forward to working with Laura in the future!

Schedule

I currently offer walk, house sitting, and drop-in services. I usually have the most availability for house-sitting on weekends and am a great sitter to rely on if you’d like to go out of town for a weekend get away. If you are looking to book a drop-in visit or walk, I have more availability during the week days for those services. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I also am currently working full time, so I will be away from your home M-F from around 8 am - 5:30 pm, but would plan to be home all evening with your dog(s).

Laura can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
As mentioned in my bio, I have most experience with larger breeds but am all for breeds of all sizes. I would like to know anything about your pet that would be helpful for when I come to visit. Are they shy with new people? How do they like to be approached? Favorite treats and toys? Any medical concerns? Does your pet get anxious when you’re away and want special things mixed into their food? I’ve got experience with puppers that deal with anxiety. Would love to do what I can to make it a comfortable and happy experience for all.
