Safety, trust & environment

Whatever your dog needs, I can provide. I like to be at your home because that's where your pet is most comfortable. My fur baby has anxiety worse than most people I know so I know how to be patient while giving extra love. Treats also help.

Information Lauran D. would like to know about your pet

The more I know about your pet the better friends we can be! I can cater to most dog personalities and energy levels. Written instructions are appreciated if there are specific do/do not activities or food allergies or with medications

A typical day

I love to play with dogs, with toys if they prefer, or just running outside. Mental stimulation is important too and I can set up lick mats, snuffle mats, or a treat finding game. I can take them to the park or just around your neighborhood, as long as they get to smell all the smells. I can even take them to a dog park if you own a pass.

Pet care experience

Animals bring me so much joy, especially dogs. I truly think they are part of the family and I will treat yours as if they were children. I have almost always had one furry friend or another including cats, dogs, and rabbits. I currently have a large senior dog who needs a little special care and daily medication so I am comfortable giving those if needed. Exercise is also very important whether its going for multiple walks or just playing in the house or yard. Let me take care of your pets when you can't.

Lauran loved our pups from the get go. They responded to her quickly and seemed at ease with her easy going personality and happy spirit. We were assured by her responsiveness and attention to our pups. We will definitely use Lauran again !!

Lauran was understanding and affectionate with my granddogs , working very well both with the elderly dog and the younger strong-minded one. She was flexible to come when most needed. Lauran is mature, experienced, and able to handle the dogs easily, keeping them safe and happy. I look forward to having her care for the dogs again. She made it possible for me to care for the dogs and they love her.

Lauran was by far the best dog sitter we’ve ever worked with. We have two dogs, one of whom is very reactive around strangers and other dogs. A couple of weeks before our trip, Lauran met with us for a meet-and-greet and patiently sat with him until he warmed up to her and they became friends. We also had some specific instructions for caring for our reactive dog, and she followed them perfectly. Throughout the week, she kept us updated with messages and sweet photos of our boys, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We will absolutely be using Lauran again anytime we need a dog sitter in the future. Highly highly recommend!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
