Laurie is absolutely amazing! She really listens to instructions and tricks from owners in order to ensure the dog's experience is the best one. My dogs came back home in really good spirits and also didn't want to leave her when I showed up which tells me they had a great time. I would highly recommend her to watch your pups and know that they are in really good care

Safety, trust & environment

Taking care of animals is what I do! I have a fenced yard, and dogs in my care are always supervised. They will get plenty of potty breaks and play time, as well as snuggles and love. Please note that while I do accept medium size dogs, I do not have a tall fence, so fence jumpers and escape artists would not be a good fit. Dogs in my care must be good around children and not overly aggressive, since my grandchildren are often at my house. I have a puppy and also a small dog, so dogs in my care must get along with other dogs.

Pets

A typical day

I have a fenced yard, and your pet's safety is my first priority. Your dog will get plenty of playtime in the backyard (weather permitting), and lots of snuggles on the sofa. Weather permitting, we might take a walk around my neighborhood, always on leash. Please note that I do not have a tall fence, so fence jumpers will not be a good fit.

Let me know if your dog has special needs, like medication, or any personality traits that would be helpful for me to know. It is important that your dog gets along with other dogs and also cats, since I have a cat. I also have grandchildren that occasionally come to my house, so your dog will need to get along with children. I absolutely do not accept dogs (or cats) who are not spayed or neutered. I require that all dogs in my care are up to date with all their shots including Bordetella.
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.
