Pet care experience

Proud dog dad!

Proud dog dad of the best rootin’ tootin’ good boi out east, Howdy! I’ve grown up with dogs and have a lot of experience dog watching in high school. Now, I’ve been rovering for well over two years now and since then have gained credibility in being a reliable caretaker while you’re away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to follow any house rules or expectations for your pets. I like to offer lots of praise and positive reinforcement. If a situation during a walk or between to pets in the home escalates, I simply remove them from the situation as quickly as possible (but like to make sure nothing happens in the first place!).

Larry was absolutely fantastic! After another sitter canceled 4 days before our trip, Larry was able to be very flexible and help us house sit our two Golden’s for a week! He was very prompt during our meet and greet and during the stay, he gave us daily updates on our dogs! He left our house clean took great care of our boys while we were away! We will definitely be booking Larry for future sittings!

Larry was a great new friend for our pups! Our older dog doesn’t always cozy up to new people, but she seemed to really enjoy Larry as a dog sitter. He asked if we wanted updates, and then provided them. I’d definitely rebook!

Larry watched our 2 senior pups for a long weekend. We were nervous as this was our first time using Rover but Larry made it a breeze! He came out for a meet and greet and read through my overly detailed instructions ahead of time. He sent us daily pics and updates and even brought the mail in. We have never come home to such chilled out dogs after a trip. We would definitely recommend Larry to anyone looking for some quality care for their pets.

We had an exceptional experience with Lawrence who took care of our dog, Groot, at our home. Despite the last-minute request due to an unexpected family funeral, he went above and beyond for us. Lawrence followed our detailed instructions perfectly and was incredibly kind and down-to-earth. He took Groot on wonderful outings, ensuring he got plenty of exercise and fun. Communication was excellent throughout, giving us peace of mind during a difficult time. We highly recommend Lawrence for his reliability, friendliness, and dedication to providing top notch care. Thank you so much for everything!

Lawrence can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Need to know if they are good around other people, dogs, children, or if they like to chase a squirrel every now and then. That way I can keep in control no matter what the occasion is!
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.
