Experience, love and compassion

Pet care experience

I will be taking a leave of absence from Rover.com for a few months(April-August) to focus on my health. Previous clients and new clients please still feel free to contact me. From babysitting, I naturally progressed into pet-sitting and house-sitting. My clients were families that had known me throughout the years and trusted me with their loved ones and their homes. I was referred by word of mouth and always took the extra time to spend with the children, pets and client's home. For house-sitting I can either stay at your home or at mine but I always stay as late as possible at an owner's home. Rover.com did not give a either or option. With work I went above and beyond what was expected of me, just because that's who I am. When people say, "She's such a nice girl", that is me, it's just who I am. In 2017 I survived an illness/scare in which I was out of commission for a few months. Now that I am ok'd by doctors to return to regular activity, I naturally thought of pet sitting etc., along with my gym membership as a great way to get back in shape and lose the weight I gained while in the hospital and get back to the healthy athletic me(as in my profile pic) but with blond hair now lol. I've always been an athlete. I am extremely grateful to be alive and to see what the future holds. Thank you very much for taking the time to read about me and to understand my background.

Lauren was amazing! This was the first time I've ever left my boy Benji. I was having a rough time thinking about it. But Lauren sent me 2 or 3 updates and pictures every day while i was gone (5 days). I could see that he was doing just fine and it eased my mind so i could really enjoy my vacation. When i got home my home looked great! Lauren went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend her and will always use her if the need arises. Thank you Lauren!!!

Lauren did a great job dog sitting Toby! We received plenty of pictures while we are on vacation and felt like he was in good hands. Lauren took Toby on plenty of walks and made sure he was always having fun. We would recommend using Lauren whenever you need a pet sitter!

Lauren was great and walked my dog when I had to be away all day. She was very communicative, flexible, and professional. She even sent me pictures of Lobo on their walk! I would definitely hire her again.

Information Lauren C. would like to know about your pet

How they are with other dogs and people? Do they like to swim? Would they be comfortable going for a ride in my car? Would they enjoy going to pet friendly places if they like to get out of the house? You really need to get to know the dog and they the same for you.

A typical day

Walks in your neighborhood, Valley Falls Park in Vernon, a secret special pond for swimming, trial walking. Playing ball, fetch, watching tv while we relax. A trip to a dog park if that is something the owner feels comfortable with.
