Pet care experience

Dog & Cat Lover!

I've handled (and loved!) dogs since I was 9 years old. For several years, I volunteered walking dogs at a humane society shelter, so I have a lot of experience handling all sizes and kinds of dogs! I’ve cared for elderly and ailing pets at different points in my life, and I certainly love and have the skills to care for pets with special needs. Pets are like family, and deserve to be treated with love, care, and respect. I will make sure your pets are well cared for.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Pets are my life's joy. I will keep open communication with you to ensure I am meeting your pet's needs, and I can accommodate any special requests, whether that’s a long walk, a bath, a medication schedule, or lots of hugs and belly rubs! For house sitting, I will be respectful of your home and keep the space tidy while making sure your pet is comfortable and happy. Outside of work, I am a homebody, so I’ll certainly be hanging out at home with your pups!

Lauren is a great sweet, considerate lady with big heart for pets. She took wonderful care of my pets when I was gone. My pets love her. They were happy and healthy when I was back. Absolutely will aske her for help when I need pet sitter again. I highly recommend her to any pet owners who need pet sitter.

Lauren was incredibly nice and very responsive for a last minute booking. She played with my cat very well and sent many good pictures.

Let me know ahead of time if there is anything I should be aware of. I am okay with watching older dogs, dogs that require oral medication (I also have experience delivering liquid meds and food through feeding tube), and reactive dogs—just let me know in advance so that I can do my best to take care of your pet!
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.
