Laurel did a great job taking care of my dog! She was available last minute and so flexible with drop off and pick up. I would definitely have her take care of my dog again!

Safety, trust & environment

My sister and I share an apartment and will love your pups just as much as we love ours! My family has rescued dogs my whole life, and we currently have three in our family at my mom’s house. Needless to say, our lives revolve around them! Since we do not live with our family dogs, we love pet sitting with Rover as well as short and long term fostering to give dogs in the shelter a safe space to relax and decompress.

A typical day

During the weekdays, we will go on a 30 minute walk in the morning and a long walk in the evenings. Depending on your dog’s comfortability (and of course the temperature), we will walk along the river trails or walk to nearby parks. My sister is in medical school, so she has many flexible days where she can take pups out around lunch time as well. We have a closed-in balcony perfect for pups to lay out and bake in the sun, and of course a comfy couch to watch TV on!
