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
Lauren is super friendly, and most importantly, Luna loves her! Lauren sends the best pics and of our girl.
This is our second time using Lauren and it was just as great as the first time. This trip away from home was much longer and we have a senior dog with arthritis. Lauren did amazing making sure our dog was comfy and our cat felt loved. We also have chickens and she made sure they were locked up safely at night and let them out in the mornings. A couple even escape the coop daily into our fenced in yard and she put them back in then pen each time! The report cards and pictures after each visit are so helpful!
Lauren was great and very attentive to details when caring for my Lab Sawyer who is 5 years old. He was very happy and healthy when we returned ! You could tell he was very well cared for while gone! Love the photos included an the details on his eating and potty habits! Thank you! We def use you again and highly recommend you !:)
Phenomenal care and beautiful photos of our girls! The notes from each visit are extremely reassuring that our gals are receiving amazing care. Beyond grateful for her love for our animals and feeling comfortable to be away from home!
