i'm a ray of sunshine& I love fetch
Pet care experience
I am a college grad and I grew up with dogs- a chocolate lab for 7 years and German Shorthaired Pointers in the 12 years since. I love playing with them and snuggling! I'm also a great babysitter -- people have trusted me with their kids and pets since I was 13! My heart has so much space for dogs-- your furry family member will be treated like mine. I love to run and walk and hike and have done so with high energy pups my whole life, so I can handle anything! Dogs are best friends to humans and should be treated with the love and attention we give our human best friends. I've got a champion arm for playing fetch and I am a top notch responsible college graduate just lookin to help out with your pets when you're busy!
Reviews
I had such high hopes for Lauren's stay with our two dogs because she had come so highly recommended both on Rover.com and from my personal acquaintances. Unfortunately, Lauren had unapproved guests in our home in our absence. The guests were in and out of our house throughout our absence, and she had at least one overnight guest. On the last night of our absence Lauren left our two dogs (one only 6 months old) alone at 10:30pm and returned the next morning to put them in the backyard with food. She left them outside at 7:15am, and we did not return home until after 7pm. Although I had requested pictures and updates, Lauren only sent one after I had confronted her about the people in our house late in the evening. When we returned home we found our garage door and a side gate unlocked. Also, our dogs had both vomited the morning that we left, and I asked Lauren to watch for more symptoms. She told me they were fine, but upon returning home I found four dried piles of dog vomit in high traffic areas. Not only did Lauren not properly care for our dogs, she completely violated my trust. Lauren has apologized for "making me uncomfortable" with the caveat that previous clients had been happy for her to have visitors. After submitting a grievance with Rover.com, I was provided a refund.
Lauren is incredible!! She took care of my three dogs, Mandy (13-year-old), Rose (4-year-old English Bulldog), and Macee (10-month-old Chocolate Lab), for 5 nights. They each have their little quirks and she handled every single one of them without any trouble. I honestly didn't want to write this review, for my own selfish reasons, but I know how hard it is to find a trustworthy, sweet, responsible person to care for your furry family members. I will definitely be using her again!! Thanks Lauren
Lauren was the best. This was our first time using a service like this so we were a little unsure, but with in minutes of placing my add, Lauren reached out to us. We hit it off over the phone and made our appointment for our meet and greet. She was right on time and stayed to learn all about Rocky and Luna. She bonded quickly with our dogs and I felt very confident that she could be trusted in our home with our girls. During her stay, she kept us updated with photos and short reports on the girls. She always returned my texts within minutes, so I was never worried. When we came home, the house was perfectly clean and the girls were happy as could be. This was a very good decision for us and our dogs and I will certainly use Lauren again and recommend her at anyone who needs a pet sitter. She was wonderful!
Lauren is the best! My dog just loves her (and my cat does too). She took excellent care of my dog. I recommend her a zillion times. She came to meet me (and my dog) and after that I had so much confidence that Charlie would be well cared for, that I was able to enjoy my time away without any worries.

Information Lauren Y. would like to know about your pet
I'd love to know your furry family member's general demeanor and habits! The more you tell me about the pup, the better I can make sure to care for them.
A typical day
We can walk wherever! Your neighborhood or mine depending on how curious or averse to change your pupper is. If your dog has favorite toys I'm always game for fetch or tug of war and if they just need love I'm up for snuggles! I'm happy to give them baths if they don't totally hate water and I'm happy to take them to parks if they get along well with other dogs.
