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 took great care of my cats! I felt very at peace going on a trip with her taking care of them when my usual petsitter was not available. She gave the shy cat that won't come out for anyone space after getting proof-of-life to assuage my anxious mind, and the bolder cat lots of cuddles and playtime <3

Laurel was everything what we needed for our cat Choochee. We had very bad experience last time we went with Rover and she understood our concerns and delivered the best care for little Choo. We were informed all the way, communication was really good and our cat looked relaxed when we came back. We will definitely book her again. Thank you 🙏

When Laurel is checking in on my cats, I never worry about them while I'm away. As always, she is incredibly dependable, communicative, and attentive to every little detail!

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.
