Full time WFH Dog Lover

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Lauren. I am currently working full time from home for a financial regulatory company. This means I have all the time to watch your dog! I'm a responsible 26 year old and I am full of energy and love for dogs. I had a dog growing up and have been doing Rover on and off for years. I enjoy being active so I would take your dog on lots of walks. I’m experienced with watching big dogs, as well as small dogs, and love them all! Since I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible, I am able to take your dog on as many walks as they desire and give them all the attention they want! I love to give belly rubs and lots of cuddles! Before moving to NYC, I spent the last year watching dogs almost everyday. One of my clients even had me come to Texas twice to watch her dog because we got along so well! Although, like most typical NYC apartments, my apartment is not that big (one bedroom), I used to watch my neighbor’s large golden retriever and he fit just well! I am able to play fetch with dogs in between the living room and bedroom. My boyfriend lives with me. He works from home Thursday and Friday so your pup will have extra attention on those days and on weekends! David is a big animal lover, he grew up with dogs his whole life, had two cats of his own for years, and takes really good care of my furry visitors with me! (sometimes they like him even more than me)

Lauren was such a great dog sitter! She updated us throughout the day with texts and pictures. Our Josie girl looked like she had so much fun and came home pooped. We are so happy we found Lauren and will definitely have Josie under her care again!

I've tried many sitters on Rover and Lauren is hands down the best sitter we've had! I drop Ruby off for daycare at her place and they have an amazing day together. Lauren keeps me updated with pictures and messages of how Ruby is doing or if she's noticed anything different in his behavior. She makes sure my pup goes on walks, gets ample playtime and eats on time. She's very patient, attentive, reliable and trustworthy. And the best part is she genuinely cares for your pet as if it's her own! Lauren is definitely the best dog sitter in the city!

Lauren took good care of our dog. She is very communicative. She send us several pictures and kept us up to date about potty etc which was very much appreciated. We will definitely bring our dog to Lauren again!

Lauren was AMAZING as usual! She's definitely one of the best sitters I've found on Rover. She genuinely cares for your pet as if he/she were her own. She keeps you updated throughout the day and sends photos. She's responsive, accommodating and so nice. Lauren will easily become your pet's favorite!

Before any dog comes to stay with me I am sure to clean up to make sure there is nothing your pup could get into they shouldn’t. I also love to cuddle with dogs so they’re welcome on my couch and bed!

Information Lauren D. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting a dog I would just like to know anything like if they are okay to be left alone for a little. I work from home full time but I would like to know how they are alone in case I need to run to the grocery store or something short like that. I would also like to know if they are friendly with other dogs so I know that while walking them if they can go up to other dogs. I also would like to know if your dog normally goes to the bathroom more than others so I can be aware of that and take them out as needed.

A typical day

I'm also very active so I will take your dogs on as long or short of a walk as their furry self desires. We can play fetch in the apartment. I always give the dogs I watch lots of loving and belly scratches. I allow the dogs to sleep in my bed and lay on the couch so they will always have someone around! Across the street there is a park that has a back area with a fence that closes, I have taken my neighbors dog there so if you are comfortable with that I can take your dog there to play fetch!
