Availability

I make my own schedule so I can work with what your dog needs and routine. Or they can come with me and play with other dogs while I groom. Always an option. If not dog friendly that's ok. They can stay home and be safe.

Safety, trust & environment

I try to keep your pet on the routine they are used to. Eat at a certain time, potty breaks, walks. What's best for them. If they come with me and you're ok with it they can play with other dogs and get some energy out. I always give a complementarity bath before your return on multiple night stays or if they get into something!

Information Lauren C. would like to know about your pet

If your dog or cat need any kind of medication or injections I will like you to go over with me prior to sitting. That is important I get it right and how you do it.

A typical day

During the day Wed through Saturday they would come with me to work. Hang with dogs and play if they get along. Big yard to play in, I have tie outs for now and are always out with them, with all sorts of smells to tire out! Walks if that's what they are used to.

Lauren is my go-to cat sitter. I always feel good when she's taking care of my boy.

Lauren is awesome. She not only checked in with me often she genuinely cared about my pets experience and possible home sickness. I can't appreciate enough Lauren for making me feel like my pet was safe and loved when I travelled. I highly recommend her!

I have no worries when Lauren visits my cat to feed him. She is great with him and absolutely reliable. A total pro.

Lauren is truly fantastic, and we are so glad we found such a responsive and awesome dog sitter for our girl. Lauren is incredibly communicative, easy to connect with, and knowledgeable when it comes to all things related to dog care. Despite being the anxious dog parent I naturally am, Lauren helped quell my anxieties and took great care of our dog during her drop in visits. Biggest plus is that our dog clearly loves her and feels safe with her☺️

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.
