“It’s our first time using Rover and we are so happy that we found Laura! We have two dogs, one an anxious senior and one a rambunctious pup. Laura took great care of them both! She stuck to the schedule we discussed and it made our vacation much easier knowing our dogs were in her capable hands. We will definitely use Rover again and, hopefully Laura if she is available.”

About: I am an animal lover at heart. I have owned dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, and fish. I grew up pet sitting for neighbors when I was little, and started rover while I was still in college. I watch cats and small animals, and I am only available to watch dogs that can be let out into backyards for potty. Currently I am not doing walks or walking services. Please keep in mind that I do work for 6-8 hour shifts most days. I am still willing to stay in your home and/or stop by before and after my shift. Instructions are followed very carefully and I need to know what your pet’s daily schedule is like, what they are/are not allowed to do, and how they respond to rewards best.

I am self-employed and work from home, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to any critter in my care. My pets have a daily routine that they are familiar with. In my home, dogs are a part of the family. I do allow my pets to be on my furniture and usually they can follow me around the house or yard while I work. I have a huge fenced in yard where your pup can run and play to their heart’s content. My home has friendly dogs and cats if your fur baby likes company. But if not, not worries! I am also set up for critters that need to be fully separated from others.

About: A lifetime pet lover, I have over 20 years' experience caring for cats and dogs. I have fostered both cats and dogs, including puppies, kittens, and senior animals. I was also a volunteer at the Humane Society where I used to live in WA state. Your furry friend(s) will receive customized care in my home or yours. I am home all day, so your pet will receive my complete attention and you will receive lots of communication in the form of pictures and messages. Complete with walks down the river or beach, games and playtime, I will keep your furry family member's tail wagging the whole time you are gone. I am available for pick ups and drop offs as well. As I'm working remotely and with a flexible schedule, I can offer my complete attention with multiple walks and potty breaks throughout the day. This is ideal for anyone still in the training phase. When at my home, your babies will be inside with me or with me outside on a leash, unless we are at a dog park or off-leash friendly area. Cats will stay inside my home. Pets do not need to be in a kennel unless that is your preference.
