Pet-sitting on Rover for 9 Years!
Pet care experience
I've cared for countless dogs & cats over the years, as well as a handful of other critters: turtles/lizards/guinea pigs/hamsters/fish/birds/horses/chickens/rabbits/etc. I'm a lover of all animals, and am comfortable caring for any critter in your household! As a previous Doctor's Assistant at a veterinary clinic, I have experience administering oral, topical, & injected medications, and am also knowledgeable about general health and signs of illness in dogs & cats. I raised my own pooch, Bowie, from 8 weeks old and have plenty of experiencing caring for puppies. I've also cared for senior dogs & cats, including my own pets, so I understand that caring for senior pets often involves special care & consideration. -Twenty years experienced dog owner -Twenty-three years experienced cat owner -Thirteen years experience as dog sitter for friends and family -Eleven years experience as cat sitter -Two years experience in the veterinary field
Reviews
Lauren did an amazing job watching our little guy! She provided regular updates and kept us informed on what was going on throughout the stay. We will definitely use Lauren again and recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, caring pet sitter!

About Lauren E.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When I have a pet in my care, I take the responsibility very seriously and re-arrange my schedule as much as possible to ensure they receive the best care.
Information Lauren E. would like to know about your pet
Let me know your pet's feeding schedule, how long they can be left home alone, and how much exercise they typically get per day. I prefer to have as much information about your pet as possible so I can keep them happy & comfortable!
A typical day
Mornings start with breakfast and a short walk or play time! If needed, I will be able to drop by on my lunch break for potty breaks or additional care needed. When I return from work, I will take your pooch on another walk, have play time, feed them dinner, and of course smother them with cuddles & kisses all night! Extra house-sitting services I have no problem watering, getting the mail, or taking out trash. And of course I clean up after myself completely when I leave!
Services
Lauren can watch in your home
Availability
At this time I can offer house sitting, drop-in visits (e.g. potty breaks, meals, puppy play-time), dog-walking, and/or medication administration. I work 8am-4pm in Downtown Vancouver, WA so I will be working around that schedule. My dog, Bowie, will be at his grandparent's house on the days I will be providing house sitting services. Lucky boy! Eventually I will be working from home three days a week, and hope to be able to offer daycare services in the future.
