Availability
I'm a fulltime mom, so my pet-sitting predominately happens in the evenings on weekdays, and on the weekends I can be more flexible with my drop-in times.

Safety, trust & environment
I personally crate my dog when away, but I've had past canines loose in the house as well. Either way, I make sure to let dogs out right away to potty, and I check the water and food situation right away. Then we get to playing, cleaning up messes, medication administration, etc.
Information Lauren B. would like to know about your pet
I am open to sitting for most breeds of dog and just about any cat, just let me know of any temperament details relevant to their care or any special needs they may have so I can provide for them accordingly. Any medical details help me know what their baseline is, so I can know if something isn't quite right. (ex: My cat throws up a little bile maybe once a week and that's not out of the ordinary for her)
A typical day
Any toys and treats available will be utilized! Running around outside (for the dogs, anyway) is the perfect remedy for missing their human, so if weather permits, we'll aim to play in the yard and/or practice basic obedience - mental exercise can be just as exhausting as physical for a pup! And a tired dog is a happy one. For the kitties, whatever their personality type, I will accommodate for them. They love snuggles? I love a lap-cat. Physical affection is avoided like the plague? I can respect that too =)

Loving Dog & Cat Care Provider
Pet care experience
Hi there! I'm Lauren, and I never leave the house without my signature accessory - cat and dog hair. I've always loved animals and their people, and I enjoy giving others peace of mind when they're away from their fur-babies, while also getting in a cuddle or two. I’ve cared for personal pets for about twenty years now, and have been petsitting for friends and family as a side gig for 16 years. I decided to branch out and join the Rover community as a contracted pet-sitter in 2020, and I’ve appreciated the extra support and safety cushion that both sitter and client receive from the platform. If you are looking for pet-sitting with quality care at an affordable rate, I'm your girl! When you book with me, you receive: 🙌 In-home pet-sitting with an experienced pet owner and past Veterinary Technician 🍽 The Essentials: feeding, hydrating, litter box/yard maintenance ⚾️ Socialization (aka pets & snuggles!) so your animal is less anxious while you're away 📷 Daily photos of your pet, so YOUR separation anxiety is put to rest 📬 Another set of trusted eyes on your home 🐕 Basic obedience practice/play time - a tired and engaged pet is a happy one If you have any questions, or would like to book with me for your next trip, please feel free to message me and/or schedule a meet & greet! I look forward to working with you and your pet(s). Blessings, Lauren
Reviews
This was our first time hiring a pet sitter for our 2 Belgian Malinois’ and we couldn’t be more pleased with Lauren! One of our pups can be very skittish and cautious around new people, so we were a little nervous about how he would do. Lauren did an absolutely fantastic job with him and took the time to earn his trust and make him feel comfortable. She was patient, caring, attentive, and clearly understood how to handle a dog with his personality and temperament. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and it was such a relief knowing they were in good hands while we were away. We highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely great with dogs. We already have her booked again for our next vacation!! 🐾❤️
Lauren is absolutely wonderful and was very quick to communicate. She cared for my elderly dogs very well and easily modified their many medications with ease. Highly recommend using her for your pets!
Lauren is always my first choice when I need someone to check on my kitties! They love her and she treats them like family. We are so thankful for her excellent care!
Lauren is super friendly, and most importantly, Luna loves her! Lauren sends the best pics and of our girl.
