About: I am a 6 cat and 1 dog daddy who would love to help you out with your pets in your time of need. I do a lot of rescue work so I am familiar with all breeds of dogs and cats. I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I am a HUGE animal lover (well except maybe snakes and spiders but I still won't kill them) and am willing to work out a way that I can help you out with your pet(s). I have a very flexible work schedule as I share a job with my mom. So I can easily work around any schedule to make things happen. I currently have 6 cats and a recent foster fail dog (He was such a good boy he isn't going anywhere) and would like to help take care of your animals when needed. I am a pet lover, always have been. I do a lot of rescue (hence where my recent dog came from. We were doing a transportation rescue for a Boston Terrier from South Carolina and my pup was an add on the day of transport) and am comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

“Lauren took amazing care of my pets and always kept me updated! Loved receiving photos of my babies while I was gone. She truly listened to me about their little quirks, medications, and what works best for them while we are gone and really followed through! Super easy to talk to and get a hold of! Would 100% refer and will be booking again”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since i was young and we got our first dog. i have also started taking care of my friends pets when they go out of town i currently work part time and am a part time student so i have plenty of time to take car of the pets! During the week on Monday Wednesday and Friday any time after 3. Tuesday and Thursdays after 11 and weekends are always free I have a fenced yard with lots of room to roam. A very comfortable sized yard good for any dog of any size to come.

“Lauren did such a great job watching our 2 high energy aussies while we were gone for a long weekend. She gave them endless attention, cuddles, kisses, and treats. She updated us multiple times a day on how they were doing with corresponding pictures. She also wrote in depth notes on their daily adventures/walks and habits. She is extremely professional and I cannot recommend her enough. She is extremely respectful to your home and pets. The dogs love her. We were overwhelmed with gratefulness when we came home to 2 happy dogs, a clean house, and a full treat jar. Lauren takes her Rover business to a different level that just doesn’t compare to others. Lauren typically does drop-ins and walks for us. This was the first in home stay and we will definitely be using her again as an in home sitter in the future because of how impressed we are with her.
