Have grown up with various animals

Pet care experience

I absolutely love animals of all sorts and have grown up with them my whole life. Dogs, cats, fish, rodents, etc. I have always had at least one dog in my household so I am extremely familiar with how to care for dogs. I will play with your dog, walk your dog, snuggle, anything they need! I am confident that I would be able to provide adequate care for your best friend(s) and then some. I love dogs of all sizes, small, large, or extra large, and would love to meet your furry friend! I also do not have any specific breed preferences so as long as your babies are friendly, I would be happy to provide care for them. Let me know if I can help you today!

Lauren visited on time each morning and checked in on our kitty while we were out of town. Very friendly and was always responsive via messaging. Highly recommend!

Lauren did a great job, and was notably punctual for her visits. Shared several pics each visit. Happy to call on her again!

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.
