Description:

I am a working professional (in the dog industry) living with my boyfriend, Mike. I work from home so your pup will have full-time fun! We have two dogs, Brando a mutt, and Squish, a french bulldog. We only take in one dog at a time so that your dog gets the one-on-one attention they deserve

Located in SOMA, your dog will make our home their home while you are away. We have a 1000+ sq ft apartment with two balconies and access to a Porch Potty. Our apartment community has a private dog park and plenty of courtyard space for walks. Feel good knowing you've left your best friend with a fun and caring family. We have a smoke free home.

I will keep in communication with you while you are away to let you know how your pooch is enjoying his/her stay. I send at least one picture update a day because I know it can be tough to leave your best friend behind.

Feel free to message me and ask me questions. We can even schedule a meet and greet at a nearby dog park to get acquainted. I am flexible with pick up and drop off times and want to make your dog's transition easy and your trip planning (at least when it comes to dog sitting) effortless.

About Lauren C.:

Mom to Mutt and Frenchie. Moved to San Francisco from Seattle. Originally from Phoenix.

How long have you been a dog lover? Tell us about your history with dogs.

I'm still trying to understand people who don't love dogs. I didn't have dogs when a was younger but as soon as I was able to have one of my own I took in an elderly Husky. I've since had a Boxer, a Great Dane, and now live with a French Bulldog and a mutt.

What would you like to know about a dog before sitting him or her? Do you have any breed preferences?

Is your dog good with other dogs, both big and small? What is your dog's normal schedule (peeing, pooping, eating and sleeping)? Does your dog know basic commands like sit/stay? Does she/he come when called? Does your dog need to be crated if we leave the house? Where is he/she used to sleeping? Is your dog good in the car? Are they up-to-date on vaccinations? Allergies?

Do you have reliable transportation in the event of an emergency?

We have a zipcar membership and Uber connections.

Are you comfortable administering medication?

Pills in peanut butter is fun for all!

How much time do you plan on spending with my dog each day?

I work from home so I will play with your dog until they are too tired to play anymore. Then they can snuggle with me and my pups!

If you have a backyard, please describe it.

We have two private balconies. One has a Porch Potty.

Where will my dog sleep?

Your dog can sleep wherever he feels most comfortable. That can be in a dog bed, on the couch or even in our bed!

Where will you take my dog on walks? Tell me about it.

During the week your dog will get a walking tour of SOMA. On the weekends we will partner those walks with a trip to a nearby dog park, if they are good at dog parks, of course.

As always, Eleanor had a blast with Lauren + co this weekend. I never worry about leaving her with them, and this weekend was no exception! I'd give her more than 5 stars if I could!
Lauren (& crew) are wonderful. I hate to leave Eleanor but I know when she stays with Lauren, Squish, Mike, etc. that she is in really good hands. I am also pretty sure that she had no interest in coming home yesterday! As soon as I got her in the cab, she got all fidgety and barked for them!

Lauren watched Eleanor the first 5 days I was in Europe. She sent me tons of updates and photos- I knew she was in excellent hands! Next time I need help watching my little princess I will be sure to hit up Lauren first!!!

Lauren was amazing! My husband and I left our new pup with Lauren to take a short vacation. It was the first time Penny had ever been away from us since we adopted her, so we were a little nervous. Lauren made the experience seamless and fun for everyone! She obviously loves dogs and knows a lot, and Penny had so much fun with her I'm not sure she wanted to come home! Penny loved going to a house with other dogs, and Lauren dealt with Penny's plentiful puppy energy wonderfully! Getting daily pictures of Penny playing, cuddling, and looking happy helped my husband and I relax knowing she was in good, loving hands. We will absolutely book with Lauren again the next time we take a trip! (Collapse)

Lauren is consistently professional and wonderful. Thank you.

This was my first time using Rover.com. I was going on a 10 day vacation out of the country and needed a place for my pooch to stay. I read all the great reviews that Lauren had and messaged her. She responded quickly and we set up a meet and greet. She was friendly and really good with Chino. She was really easy to get ahold of and was willing to work around my schedule. Throughout my trip, I got messages and pictures of how he was doing. It was awesome to see Chino and know he was having fun. He came home a happy and tired dog! (Collapse)

We recently had Lauren watch our precious Ollie for several nights, this was her first time away from us! (much more devastating for us than her I'm sure) Lauren was amazing!! She new exactly how we felt and helped ease our worries! Ollie is definitely a little diva and Lauren worked with her. She kept her very busy, took her to work to socialize and played with her. She sent us pictures daily to keep us updated (and ease our worries!) We felt very comfortable leaving Ollie with her, I don't think we would have enjoyed ourselves if we left her with anyone else! We would absolutely work with Lauren again and highly recommend you do as well! (Collapse)

Lauren and her family members (people and dogs) are the best. Mumi was so happy to spend time with them. Thank you again. I've already reserved for the next visit.
January 14
I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Lauren and Mike for almost 3 weeks while visiting family abroad. Easy communication, frequent updates with pictures, flexibility for drop-off/pick-up times. Thanks for taking such good care of Toby!
January 2
Thanks Lauren, again, for taking such great care of Lucy!
December 31
Lauren took amazing care of Lucy, our rambunctious, naughty, adorable french bulldog. Lauren's patience and love for dogs made Lucy's stay a fun vacation! We'll book Lauren again and highly recommend her to anyone who wants their pup's time away from home to be the next best thing to being by your side.

Lauren was absolutely fabulous! McGee clearly had a great time, and she sent lots of pictures while we were gone that showed how he was fitting right in and having fun.
December 18
Mumi enjoyed her visit to Lauren's. Lauren is consistently caring and professional! I am planning to ask her to take care of my dog again soon!
December 10
It was my first time using Rover.com and Lauren made it a positive experience. She was very nice and easy to work with. She did not only took good care of my dog Bella while I was away but also sent me pictures of Bella along with updates of daily activities. At the end of the stay Bella came home a happy pooch. I would definitely recommend Lauren for dog sitting.
December 5
Lauren is professional and easy to work with. I would definitely ask her to take care of my puppy again. I also enjoyed several pictures she sent me while I was away.

I just picked up my dog after be away for almost 5 weeks. Every 2 or 3 days I got pictures and updates. My dog had a better time on her vacation than I did ! Lauren and Mike were so attentive. They really cared about making sure my dog had a good time. Their own dogs played and got along so well with an unfamilar dog around. Lauren and Mike are professionals and the best ! (Collapse)

My sister and I went on a trip to Leavenworth and my Boston Terrier Gus stayed with Lauren and Mike (and Squish and Brando!). I got so many awesome pictures while I was gone and you could tell Gus was having the time of his life. After I picked him up, he slept the entire next day- what a dream! Gus got along so well with Lauren's super friendly pup's and I would absolutely use her again! Thanks for taking care of my little guy!! (Collapse)

Our Zoë had a great time with Lauren and Mike and their dogs! She had fun playing with Squish and on all the walks they went on (she was nice and tired when she came home, which means she had lots of fun!). We enjoyed the photos Lauren sent to keep us updated. Recommended! We hope to use their sitter services again!
September 20
Lauren made my first time using Rover an absolutely first-rate experience. From the first contact, to picking up my happy pooch, Penny, at the end of her stay, everything went perfectly. Lauren was friendly and easy to communicate with, and I especially loved the little snapshots she sent me almost daily during Penny's 12 day stay. The only sad point is that I'm sure Penny misses her new friends now that she's back home with me! :) I highly recommend Lauren's care for your four-legged friend! (Collapse)

Molly came home happy and tired from her visit - high recommendations.

Lauren is awesome with dogs. She has so much love towards pets and will treat your loved one like they are a member of her family. My little dog loves to spend time with her Frenchie Squish and always comes home tired!

Lauren and Mike are loving and attentive pet sitters. They are kind, reliable and truly love dogs. Dogs in their care always have fun and are made to feel like they are right at home.
Elaine S. September 29
Lauren and Mike would be excellent sitters for your dog! They could not be in better hands. You can be sure your dog will be well-taken care of and will have lots of fun with their dogs, Brando and Squish.
Marie C. October 16
Lauren and Mike are responsible, professional, experienced and loving dog sitters. They kept me updated throughout my time away and sent me tons of pictures. Lauren and Mike were very accommodating to my dog's special needs (diet and medicine) and made me feel comfortable knowing they would keep a close eye on him at all times. I would recommend them to anyone!
Sayumi I. December 4
Lauren is wonderful - she is professional, kind, and easy going. She also sent me nice pictures while I was away. I already requested to Lauren again to take care of my 9 month puppy this month! I highly recommend her.
