About: I've house sat my sisters 100 pounds saint bernard before for a couple days. My family had a black lab that lived to be 14 and I helped take care of him and we have a 4 year old German shepherd who we have had since he was a puppy. I am currently unemployed so I am available anytime during the week from Monday to Thursday to walk or watch your dog or dogs and I am always vigilant when watching pets. I have a small fenced in yard and I take my dog for a walk everyday at noon and I am always vigilant and make sure that dogs don't get into anything
“Lauren did an amazing job looking after our senior kitty while we were away. She always kept us updated, was quick to respond to messages, and sent lots of cute photos every visit. She was very accommodating throughout the entire process and our minds were at ease knowing our cat was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: Animal lover and experienced pet sitter living in Baltimore! Before moving to Maryland two years ago, I worked consistently as a cat sitter in the San Francisco Bay Area and Brooklyn, NY. Now I am looking to expand my experience here in my new home! I’m timely, attentive, and cleanly. While I work for Rover part time, I also work in the non-profit sector with a flexible schedule - that means I am able to adjust my schedule to meet your needs! I am comfortable administering medication and have an affinity for older animals that may need more attention. If you are in need of a pet sitter that has the experience and love of pets to care for your family member, you have found her! I am currently able to care for your pet on the weekends and in the evenings after 4 pm. Additionally, on Wednesdays I have increased flexibility due to my work from home schedule. For sits in the city of Baltimore, I also may have daytime availability on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I provide loving, attentive care in the comfort of your home, ensuring your pet feels safe, secure, and happy. I follow their routine, offering plenty of play, cuddles, and exercise while keeping your home clean and secure. As a fellow pet owner that has utilized services like Rover, I fully know the trust and responsibility required when caring for your family member within your home.
