Energetic Dog Runner & Sitter

Pet care experience

I grew up in a household with 3 high energy golden retrievers and have been surrounded by dogs since. I am an experienced house & dog sitter for family, friends, neighbors, and community members. I like to run/walk dogs and am comfortable administering medications.

Laurie gave us good communication throughout the booking, and left the house in great condition. Her services provided a wonderful sense of comfort and care knowing that our pets were well looked after.

Laurie was absolutely incredible with our high energy 1.5 year old pup! She watched our dog when we went on vacation. She was communicative and sent us tons of pictures! Our dog can be a lot of work so it was a relief when Laurie could handle him and do it with grace. We also have a cat that she was so sweet to! We can’t thank her enough and will absolutely use her again. We recommend her for other families!!

Laurie was so kind and understanding of my hesitation to let someone else take my dog out of my hands. Olive had a lovely walk, came back nice and tuckered out so that I could continue my work day without worrying about her being bored. We will absolutely be rebooking with Laurie and I’m so glad that this was our first experience with Rover! Can’t recommend enough. ?

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.
