Availability

Being a NICU nurse, I am no stranger to caring for the tiniest of patients. I moved to Florida a year ago after losing my 2 senior dogs. I miss being around pets and would love to care for your furry friend. I work per diem at the hospital so have full availability 4 days a week (schedule varies) On my off days, which include weekends, I am available 24/7.

Information Lauren D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet had any preferences during walks or if they expect treats etc for doing certain things. If they need any medication, even injections, I am more than comfortable with administering as I’m a nurse myself as well as having a diabetic dog the last couple years.

A typical day

I will start by taking them on a walk outside, maybe explore any nearby dog parks or beaches. I’ll be sure they have plenty of water at home and get lots of belly scratches(:

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs since middle school. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to feed, walk, and care for their dogs. I treat them as if they were my own pet (:

Lauren was fantastic! I feel lucky that I found her through Rover! Is my first time using the app and the experience was very positive. I feel more comfortable now and definitely will recommend her. She was Very responsible and kept me informed all the time.

Lauren is the BEST! She has watched both our Great Dane, Penny, and our Persian cat, Ace, and they both love her!! Both pets are a little shy, but they come right up to her and get so excited to see her! I would trust Lauren anytime to watch my fur babies!!!

Lauren is my go-to pet sitter!! She has watched my dog Ellie numerous times. She always takes her on walks and sends me so many updates when she has her, which I love!! Ellie go nuts when Lauren comes to pick her up! Lauren treats Ellie like she’s her own dog which makes it easier to leave her in her care. We love Lauren!!

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.
