Safety, trust & environment

Lauri's goal when housesitting, is to treat your space and your fur baby with the highest degree of love and respect. She knows that having new people coming into your home and leaving your pet with them can be stressful and so she seeks to put that stress at ease through prior Meet & Greets and clear thorough communication of expectations and boundaries. Our home is pet friendly. We have a large fenced back yard, a nice fenced front porch, and a doggy door to the back yard. Our family is very dog friendly and we seek to incite your pups in as part of our family while they stay with us.

A typical day

Denali and I have really enjoyed meeting new friends at the local dog parks and at pet-friendly local events. We would love to discover trails and other outdoor recreation spaces as adventuring is our jam! At our house we have plenty of space for multiple dogs to run and play both inside and outside.

Pet care experience

We are thrilled to be part of the Rover team! As long-time, passionate and experienced dog caregivers, we would love to care for your furry family member. Love, snuggles, treats, daily walks, responsible/experienced care, genuine attention, and of course baths when needed are what we always provide for our sweet Rover pups and their owners. Both of us (Lauri & Erin) have flexible schedules working from home, which makes pet sitting a perfect opportunity for us. We have an Irishgoldendoodle, Denali Cheerio Jayne, who loves other dogs! I (Lauri) recently (April 2022) relocated back to Nebraska from Oregon after having been away for about 20 years, and I now live in the Rockbrook Village area with my wife and our three teenage kiddos. Coming from the outskirts of Bend, Oregon, which was a beautiful wooded half-acre property with a fenced yard, to life in the city, has been an adjustment for sure. We loved providing care for pups at our home in Bend and miss that socialization and connection. Working from home and a flexible work set-up allows me (Lauri) to work from anywhere with good internet access and to take on housesitting Rover reservations (non-smoking housesitting locations only) as well as boarding reservations. We (Erin & Lauri) have years of experience with dogs of all ages and abilities. We know what it's like to worry about your precious fur baby, especially those that are older or more vulnerable, who are puppies newly experiencing their world, or those that have special needs for that matter, and we will send you photos and updates to keep your mind at ease while you are away. We find immense joy in caring for these blessed animals, and truly love spoiling each one as if they were our own. We look forward to meeting you and your dog, and providing you with peace of mind while you're at work, vacation, or other adventures and becoming you're dog's new best friend . . . second only to you of course . . . maybe . . . we do spoil them quite a bit :)
