Safety, trust & environment

!! I have to require clients’ dogs to be leash-trained, as that ensures their proximity to me and prevents wandering. If a leash is not brought, one will be provided by me. !! I have two super friendly dogs who live in an unfenced yard by Lake Murray. Their supervision and safety are my top priority, as yours will be should you select my services.

Information Lauren A. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know specific medications, as well as the times needed. I would also like to be able to get a rough overview of their temperament and energy levels so that I can best accommodate them and make them comfortable. If you could give me an idea of what their routine looks like on a given day, I’ll try to provide that stability to the best of my ability.

A typical day

We have a large yard and an array of nature trails that I use to exercise more active dogs, and I’m super involved in play— dogs love us so much, it’s only fair that I try to give that love back by doing things they enjoy.

Because Your Babies are Everything

Pet care experience

I’ve lived or been around animals since I could talk, and have caring for them for about as long. I have walked, cared for (feeding, medicating, walking, exercising/play), and have even brought other peoples’ animals in for vet visits when unexpected events have occurred. I’m keen on collaborating with pet owners in order to make sure all parties (including your fur baby) are happy and have experience with both training and senior care.

Lauren is THE BEST!!! She is friendly, reliable, and clearly cares so much about my puppy KJ. She is trustworthy, kind, and the absolute best dog sitter there is!

Lauren took excellent care of my dog, replied promptly and sent pictures at each visit, making my trip to Texas that much less stressful! I would absolutely book again.

Lauren was so gracious and kind! I had a last minute (less than 1 hours notice) need to daycare my beagle and Lauren responded right away and accommodated me promptly.

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.
