Pet care experience

I pet sat dogs when I was younger and cats for years. I have more time now that my kiddo is an adult and would love to give your babies a lot of attention. 🐶 😺 Please note that my rates are for stays under 2 weeks and include 1 walk per day for dogs. I am happy to lower rates for longer stays (over 2 weeks), and happy to add additional walks for an additional fee. Thanks for considering me! 🐕

Laurie was awesome with our little sweet Pepper who takes a bit to warm up to strangers.She took great notes and stuck to Peppers routine as much as Pepper would cooperate 😊we will definitely use her again! Communication was great and she paid attention to detail.

The only downside to hiring Laurie is that no sitter after her will even come close to her caring, diligence, professionalism, and trustworthiness. I’ve been hiring dog sitters for 15 years, and with Laurie I hit the jackpot. She will take copious notes during the Meet & Greet and follow every instruction exactly. And if she stays in your home, she will leave it clean and organized. My dog, who is usually nervous and skittish after I’ve returned from a trip, was as calm as can be this time. A first. Honestly, need I say more? Thank you, Laurie! You were all of this, and more.

As always Laurie is dependable, kind with the dogs and attentive to anything unusual going on in the household or neighborhood. Great peace of mind when we're away.

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.
