Information Lauren D. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed or weight preferences. As long as your dog will tolerate mine, I would love to meet them! I also like to know how your dogs are with cats. My cats will hide with unknown dogs but I need to make sure they will not be sought out.

A typical day

Lots of backyard hangs! We like to be outside and the privacy fenced yard allows for dogs to be outside with us while we work on our fixer upper projects.

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Lauren. I am a middle school teacher - a passion second only to my love for animals. I am a huge dog lover and in college, socialized service dogs in training. I took my four different pups everywhere I went, getting them use to all different people and situations and preparing them to hopefully become service dogs. I have grown up with dogs my entire life and now have three of my own, Noelle, Nani and Levi. I own my home with a large fenced yard for plenty of room to run. I am home in the summers with my pups who love playing and meeting new friends :) We would love to help you in whatever way we can!

I’ve booked Lauren twice to drop in on my cat! It has been a seamless and worry free experience! I will be booking her again in the future!

Lauren was excellent taking care of our cats. Logan is especially skiddish, and Lily is mostly suspicious, but they both warmed right up to her. We’ve had problems leaving them before, but they were well cared for and Lauren went above and beyond to make sure they were as happy as they could be. I really appreciated the photos from the visits, it meant a lot to know they were in good hands.

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.
