Information Lauren A. would like to know about your pet

I need to know about any health issues, special needs, or dietary restrictions your pets might have. It's also important for me to know about any training techniques you use in your routine because consistency is important.

A typical day

One of my favorite things to do is go for a long walk or run in the forest preserve trails. I also love being able to play with the dog's and cats I watch both inside and out, anything that offers enrichment and entertainment. For overnight pet sitting- I typically "move in" to your house and only leave to go to my part-time job or run errands.

Insured Pet Care Professional

Pet care experience

I've owned and cared for all kinds of animals my whole life. Professionally, I have experience working as a dog handler, kennel attendant, dog bather, and groomer. I also have extensive experience working and caring for cats, horses, and various small animals. My +3 years working at a dog daycare facility had me safely handling a pack of up to 25 dogs; providing exercise & engagement, soft corrections, and positive reinforcement. To do so, it was necessary to be observant and in tune with the dog's behavior and always on the lookout for any signs of stress or aggression. As a bather and groomer, I was focused on hygiene but a large aspect of the job relied on my knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques. I've owned cats my entire life and have worked with a TNR rescue the past few years getting pregnant females and unneutered male cats fixed and adopted. I also have pet care insurance with animal baliee coverage in case of emergencies. I always care for every animal as if they are my own and I understand how important it is for them to feel comfortable and loved.

Lauren is AMAZING! She has watched my dog & cat twice now, and there just aren’t words to explain how wonderful she is. It’s the best feeling knowing your animals & home are safe and loved while you’re away. Lauren is incredibly communicative & takes great pictures, too - always keeping you in the loop while you’re away. She’s truly the best!!

Lauren a great sitter, very prompt, organized, and flexible. She was able to stay several hours later with our dog due to flight delays. She is highly recommended!

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.
