Pet care experience

Responsible Friend and Caretaker!

A little bit about me: *I work full time, 730am to 4pm Monday through Friday in Russellville. I have lived my entire life surrounded by different types of dogs; anywhere from a Doberman to a Labradoodle. I have yet to meet a dog who did not enjoy my company, and I always enjoy theirs. I was a member of the Doberman Rescue League in New Hampshire when I lived in Massachusetts. I am offering my services to help families who do not want to leave their dogs and cats in an unfamiliar shelter while they are away for leisure or obligations. I have seen how scared they can be when away from their family, so I will take care of them as if they were my own family - with love and affection according to their own preference and personality. I look forward to meeting your dog and would love for them to choose me as their friend and care taker. I am currently only offering home visits or travel stays in your home, but I would also love to take your pups on a walk, to the park, on a hike, or wherever they like to go. I am completely comfortable with oral medication or eye/ear drops. I hope to hear from you soon, and I am excited to meet your family!

Lauren sent lots of pictures and was super responsive throughout the whole weekend. I haven’t had to leave my cat completely alone in a few years (I’ve usually lived with roommates or family) so Lauren definitely eased my anxiety. Once I got home, I could tell that Pepper was well taken care of. I already have Lauren booked again for a longer trip I have coming up :)

Lauren F. was great in watching over our pets while we were away. I would recommend Lauren's services anytime. I hope Lauren remains available in the future.

Lauren did an amazing job for us. Our 2 dogs are old and we didnt think they'd do well in a kennel. She came promptly each visit and sent updates and photos each time. We were just so happy with her service and would surely use her again!

House Sitting • Nov 30, 2019

Absolutely the best sitter for your family friend. We will never board again. Lauren is trustworthy while we are away, our doggie had a blast, playing ball, walking and just like a family member Lauren came to take care of her while we out of town. I cant emphasize enough, keep you furry best friend home and away from places that have poor reputations. We will never go anywhere else, and the little extras she did for us while we were away made it clear that Lauren made all of us at peace, and that is priceless while your away from home. 5 stars and then some.

I do not have any breed preferences nor any age preferences. I enjoy the company of all animals. I would like to know about their usual habits and what their favorite toy is. I'd need to know how active they are, when they eat, how they communicate, etc. All those are things we can discuss upon the "Meet and Greet".
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.
