Availability

I run my own business remotely, so pet care is part of my daily routine. I provide morning and evening cat drop-ins seven days a week, with limited midday availability for neighborhood dog walks and visits. I work within agreed time windows so I can keep a reliable, efficient route while giving every pet an attentive, unhurried visit. House sitting is accepted selectively for easygoing pets whose normal routine allows me to continue my daytime visit route.

Safety, trust & environment

Every new client begins with a Meet & Greet so we can confirm that the pet, care plan, home, and schedule are a comfortable match. I verify feeding instructions, medications, leashes, locks, alarms, emergency contacts, and access details before care begins. I respect each home as carefully as my own and provide clear photo updates. For everyone’s safety, I only accept pets who can be approached and cared for safely by a new caregiver.

Information lauren f. would like to know about your pet

Please share your pet’s exact routine, medications, history with sitters, and behavior around new people before we schedule a Meet & Greet. My best matches are friendly, easygoing pets who are comfortable with a new caregiver and can safely follow a normal visit, walk, or house-sitting routine. I am not the right fit for significant separation anxiety, fear-based behavior, aggression, escape risk, unsafe leash reactivity, or constant-care needs. Honest details help us protect your pet and confirm a genuinely good match.

A typical day

For cats, visits include fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime or affection based on their preference, and detailed photo updates. For dogs, I provide a friendly neighborhood walk at an appropriate pace, refresh water, and send a complete report. During house sits, I maintain the pet’s established morning and evening routine, provide companionship when I am in the home, and continue my regular daytime drop-in and walking route.

Cat Drop-Ins & Friendly Dog Walks

Pet care experience

Animals have been the center of my life for 20 years. I specialize in reliable cat drop-in visits, friendly neighborhood dog walks, and a limited number of house sits for well-matched, easygoing pets. I share my home with two bonded orange brothers, Hanz and Franz, so I understand how much a cat’s familiar routine matters—from breakfast timing and clean litter to favorite games and quiet companionship. Every visit includes attentive care, fresh food and water, play or affection based on your pet’s personality, and clear photo updates. I run my own business remotely, giving me flexibility for consistent morning and evening routines. For house sitting, I’m selective about fit and happiest with pets who are comfortable with a new caregiver, can follow their normal home routine, and do not require constant care.

We returned home to a calm and happy old cat. Her meows and easy transition told us she had been well cared for and entertained by Lauren.

Lauren was very patient with my skittish cat and was able to medicate him successfully everyday. We are very happy with our experience with Lauren. Thank you!

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.
