Dogs complete a family

I am a single mom with 20 year old daughter who is away at college. I have a golden retriever who loves to have dog friends visit. Your pet will get the same TLC as my own dog. They will be a part of our family while they are with us. I have a fenced in yard, making it easy for your pet to be safe and get some exercise too. I have been watching dogs in my home for about 25 years. I work from home Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and I am gone on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from about 10-4, so I am almost always home aside from the occasional errands. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, I can always run home in the middle of the day if a potty break is needed. Accidents are ok too. Mine has had a few over the years. Your dog will never be in trouble if this happens. You won’t have to worry about your dogs when they are with me. They will be treated like family.

My dog Honey had a great time with Laurie. Her communication was great and we appreciated getting updates while Honey was with her.

Laurie was wonderful. She was so kind and responsive. I was so nervous leaving my dogs but she put us right at ease. We were kept informed of how the week was going the entire trip. We will definitely ask Laurie to watch our dogs again. Thank you so much Lauri, for taking such good care of our babies!

This was our first time using Laurie and she was excellent! From the first meet-and-greet to picking up our pups after their stay, she was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. She treated our pups like family and provided frequent updates. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thanks!

This was the best pet sitting experience we could have hoped for! It is our first time using Rover and Laurie was an absolute delight. She treated Sadie as if she were her own and updated us daily with photos. We will 100% recommend and use her again ! 10/10!

Laurie was wonderful with Gracie! I was a little nervous letting Gracie stay away but from the moment we had our meet & greet I felt very comfortable. Laurie, her sweet dog Daphne & daughter were very warm and welcoming. Laurie provided many check-ins and promptly answered all of the questions I had. I would definitely Laurie to anyone looking for a sitter and plan to use Laurie again in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and w very friendly fur baby of my own. I can let them out frequently and always supervise outside even though my yard is fenced. I am able to feed them if they are here during meal time. I will just need to know if your dog is food possessive so I can make sure they eat separately from my dog. Unfortunately I can’t leave your dogs food down throughout the day because my dog will eat it.

Pets

A typical day

We will spend most of our exercise and play time in the yard if it is nice out. If your dog is used to daily walks, we can do that too. I am also open to do meet and greets before the actual sitting occurs.

My golden retriever is very gentle with small dogs. She had a six pound yorkiepoo sister until very recently, so she knows to be gentle around small dogs. The only other requirement is that they get along with other dogs.
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.
