Safety, trust & environment

I can’t board animals. I don’t have the space. In other peoples homes I can play with their pets & enjoy taking them for a walk.

Information Laurie R. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any breed preferences. I would like to know if the dog is friendly, loving, likes to play. Is it house trained? Does it have a problem with strangers?

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog As much as possible! Extra house-sitting services I would be more than willing to do other things while there. For one of my customers, (a friend), I do her laundry, water the plants, bring in the mail & newspaper.

Pet Lover wants to Love your pets!

Pet care experience

I am a 63 year old cancer survivor who is now disabled! I would love to babysit your pets for you in your home! Anytime! I have 2 dogs & 5 cats I now pet sit for. I am a true animal lover. I have 3 cats at home whom I love very much! This would be the perfect job for me. Although, I don't think of petsitting as a job. I would love to play with or walk your dogs for you. I would treat your pets with as much love as you do! Have been pet sitting for 4 years. I like to play with the dogs, take them for walks. Size or breed doesn't matter. All dogs are welcome! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover for 25 years. I have had several (4) dogs in my life. The first was a german shepherd hybrid with wolf. She was beautiful! My husband had a little terrier mix who stayed in the house. We also had a black lab & a mutt named July. If I could have a dog now, I would; but I don't have a fenced-in yard. I really don't want to leave a dog on a chain all the time. My experience administering medication I can administer oral meds.

Laurie showed up on time to let our dogs out and we paid for an hour stay and she stayed the hour. Laurie is dependable.

We loved having Laurie watch our pets! It was so nice to have her stay in our home and not have to add stress to our pets by having them out of their comfort zone. Laurie took great care our babies and sent us pics daily. She was a great house guest as well. Highly recommend Laurie and will definitely use her again!

Laurie is very neat, honest, and trustworthy. The animals are well kept and safe at all times. She's terrific with all. I have a dog, cat, turtle and a frog that appreciate her love and care.

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.
