Safety, trust & environment

Very willing to train for specific feeding or medication needs. I am often available to stay overnight, and I feel pets are most comfortable in their own homes.

Information Laurena A. would like to know about your pet

Keeping your pet healthy and happy is my first priority. I always pay carefully attention to allergies, dietary needs, and the physical abilities of each animal.

A typical day

I love to keep your furry friends on their preferred schedule. I find that pets do best when kept on their personal daily routine, including wake-up time, feedings, walks, and bed time. Each pet has their own quirks and I love seeing their personalities first hand!

Happy to be with your fur babies 😁

Pet care experience

Caring for pets has been a part of my schedule for several years now. I always appreciate the time with other creatures as my rescue kitty is very selfish and cannot have fur siblings. Hopefully I will get to meet yours soon!

We’re delighted with the help Laurena provided us. She is a true cat lover. Her updates were consistent and full of color. It put our minds at ease while we were traveling. Highly recommend!

Laurena did such a wonderful job with our anxious, reactive chihuahua mix. She sent us tons of photos and updates while we were away, and even got Kyber to go for a walk! It was so reassuring knowing Kyber was in such good hands. We'd recommend Laurena to anyone. 😊

Laurena has watched our pets a couple of times now and we're so happy to have found her. We didn't have to worry a bit about our kitties while we were away. We received updates and photos regularly and the house was in great condition when we got back. Thanks again Laurena!

Laurena took such loving care of Doris, our sweet, old girl. She was an exceptional communicator, sending photos and updates. In the photos that Laurena shared, it was evident that Doris was at ease with her. Laurena left our house so clean. Wow and thanks Laurena!

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.
