Information Laurel V. would like to know about your pet

I like to know personalities and preferences so I can come prepared to take the absolute best care of your best friend. Do you like your dog to meet and greet while we walk, are they shy or friendly when seeing other dogs? All of this is important so I can keep them safe while in my care.

A typical day

This will vary based on your best friends needs, are they an active younger dog that needs interactive walks and energetic play to get out all the wiggles or are they a senior dog that needs a slow paced walk and a good conversation?

Laurel was truly the best sitter we could have ever asked for. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and took the time to really understand each of our dogs' unique needs. She cared for four dogs, including two with special needs, and handled everything with so much patience, compassion, and confidence. From accommodating all of our random requests to making sure every dog received the individual care and attention they needed, Laurel went above and beyond. It's clear she genuinely loves animals, and she's an all-around wonderful person. I can't say enough great things about Laurel. If she's available, book her—you won't regret it. She's absolutely our Rover sitter for life!

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.
