Work from home pet lover!

Pet care experience

I grew up in a household with several animals at any given time: dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rats, fish, etc. I contributed largely to the care of each animal in our house and it was never a chore for me because I absolutely loved interacting with them! My fiance and I have a cat named Xena who we rescued from Charleston Animal Society and she is most certainly living her best life. We also added a goldendoodle puppy, Honey Ham, to the crew in 2021! Xena tolerates dogs and Honey Ham LOVES other dogs! I regularly house and dog sit for friends, family, and anyone I am referred to. I believe pets are family and everyone in my life knows that I adore all animals and treat them as my children. I work from home full time and my schedule is very flexible, so your dog will have plenty of potty breaks, walks and play time. We enjoy visiting dog parks and taking dogs to public places so if that is an option, definitely let me know! Honey Ham is a year and a half old so she does have puppy energy at times, so as long as your dog is as playful or tolerant of playful dogs, they are a perfect match! Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. I hope to play with your dog or cat soon!

Lauren is the best!!! She was able to watch our dog Winnie on short notice for a week. She sends tons of pictures and is always in great communication. We would definitely recommend Lauren to anyone needing a Rover!

Lauren was great with our dog Winnie! She was very attentive and sent us pictures throughout the weekend. Will definitely be asking Lauren again if we ever need a Rover!!

Anyone who knows Lauren can tell just how much she cares for animals. She treats them as members of her family with so much love and attention, and they return her affection 110%! Trust that when you choose Lauren as your sitter, it’s like leaving your fur babies at Grandma’s house - they’ll come back spoiled (in a good way) and so happy! I would trust her any day with my pups to give them exactly the kind of care they deserve and more.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is extremely important to us. If your dog is aggressive toward cats or other dogs at all, we unfortunately are unable to board, but I am happy to house sit for you instead! If your dog tends to chew things that they shouldn't when unsupervised, we do prefer that your dog be crated when we are not home - we do have a large crate that can be used. I am not comfortable having any dog other than my own off-leash in spaces that are not fenced. Your dog will always be leashed on walks and I am always aware of my surroundings. I only allow other dogs to approach if I confirm prior with their handler that they are friendly. In fenced areas, I always ensure that gates and doors are closed. We have a baby gate to the room in our house with our cat's litter box, so your dog will never have access to it.

Information Lauren A. would like to know about your pet

Any quirks, food/toy aggression, sensitive spots on their body that I should avoid petting, what kinds of treats are okay to have (I do not give our dog any human food except natural peanut butter and dog-safe fruits such as strawberries and blueberries). Your dog MUST be cat friendly! Slight interest is okay but please no excessive chasing/aggression.

A typical day

We do have a small fenced back yard that is perfect for potty breaks and play time. We love throwing balls, frisbees, and sticks with our dog!
