Dedicated Animal Caregiver

Pet care experience

I grew up surrounded by a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, gerbils, birds, fish, geckos and even a chinchilla! My passion for animals led me to work for a veterinarian, aspiring to become a vet tech before my career took a different turn. Having previously offered pet-sitting services independently, I joined Rover to provide a safer and more reliable experience for pet owners. I am also a proud foster for Strong Paws Rescue. Experience: Dog Care: Proficient in feeding, walking, and providing overnight care for pets of all sizes and ages. Medication Administration: Experienced in giving medications to dogs, whether pills or injections. Handling Reactivity: Comfortable and skilled in managing reactive dogs with patience and understanding. Diverse Pet Care: Knowledgeable in caring for a wide range of pets, from young to senior, ensuring their needs are met. I look forward to providing a loving and safe environment for your furry family members!

Lauren was fantastic, took care of our 3 pups and cat. We absolutely recommend Lauren, and will ask her to take care of our pups again.

First time using Rover, and I couldn’t be happier! Frannie was recently boarded at a facility for one night, and after picking her up, I honestly questioned whether I’d ever board her again—until meeting Lauren. She provided a comfy, cozy home with plenty of room to run and play. She’s very personable and truly treats your dog like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Frannie was in such great hands! Thank you again❤️

Lauren was very pleasant during our when first meeting our dog Jackie. She is very compassionate and our dog who can be skiddish did well with her. She communicated well with us during our time away assuring our dog was in good hands.
