Lauren is an excellent choice for anyone that needs someone reliable and trustworthy. I highly recommend her and use her often when I’m working late or out of town.

We had Lauren drop in on our 2 dogs while we were away. She checked in with us every time she went and sent cute pics! Would recommend!

Lauren has been an absolute blessing! Dixie (my dog) loves Lauren and does a happy dance upon her arrival. She is prompt, reliable, trustworthy and will update me when I’m out of town which is always comforting. I don’t know what we would do without her!

I have complete confidence recommending Lauren as a dog walker. She is reliable and stepped in last minute when we had an emergency and had to leave town. A lifesaver!

I am so confident and comfortable leaving my babies with Lauren and awes and paws. She is exceptionally professional and trustworthy and I have no complaints after a year of walks in our neighborhood.

Understanding a pet's routine, dietary needs, medical conditions, and favorite activities is crucial. It’s also important to have emergency contacts, vet details, and any specific behaviors or quirks the pet may have for a seamless and comfortable pet care experience.
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.
