A tired pup, is a well behaved pup!
Pet care experience
My pups are my babies, so I understand the difficulties with leaving your pets behind while you go on vacation... Why shouldn't they enjoy themselves when you are on yours? I've had a love for all animals since I was a little girl. I've always been around dogs and have over 7+ years in professional dog kennel, daycare, and grooming experience. I've worked at local animal shelters and have worked with numerous rescue groups in both CA, WA, OR, CAN, and IN over the past 7 years. I currently work as a groomer in Temple at 4 Legs of Love. I'm a certified dog trainer through Animal Behavior College and have a current Pet CPR Certification. We currently have 3 rescued dogs and 1 cat. I am also a member of IAABC and APDT. I have lots of experience with insulin injections, vaccines, subQ fluids, pills and other medications.
Reviews
It was our first time using Rover and Lauren explained everything and made us feel very comfortable. If your family is like mine you usually have a family member or friend who is willing to watch your pets while you go on vacation. But what happens when you go in vacation with those people? That is when a friend of ours told us about Rover. Very comparable pricing to boarding at local businesses. I was only nervous about leaving our dogs with a complete stranger. I highly recommend Lauren. She was always sending pictures, giving updates, and our dogs had a great time while we were gone. Even better was how exhausted they were when we got home. If you were worried about leaving your dogs with a complete stranger, have no fear. You can trust Lauren with your fur babies. Overall excellent experience and will definitely be back in the future if needed.
I love that Lauren is so close to home and on my way home from work! Coco always seems to have a great time and I know she's giving all the dogs a workout - she's such a busy dog!
Sugar did great with Lauren!
Lauren was amazing with our girls!!! Shelby, our 1 year old, had a diarrhea issue before we took them to her house. Unfortunately it never really let up and she kept me posted about it. She ended up taking Shelby to our vet for some medication, which cleared it up pretty quickly. Then out other dog Abby started with the diarrhea. She went back to our vet and got more of the medication for Abby. She was awesome at keeping me posted on how the girls were doing. She would send pictures of them playing with her dogs. Abby had a birthday during their stay, she turned 7, so Lauren bought all the dogs (ours and hers) a treat and got Abby a birthday hat! I think she ended up giving them about 4 baths during their stay. She definitely knows how to take care of dogs while you are away! I would HIGHLY recommend Lauren to take care of your fur babies. We will definitely have her take care of Abby and Shelby again!!
