Full availability, R+ based care

Pet care experience

Thanks for viewing my profile ☺️ Please let me know if you have any questions! Skills & Experience: 🧡Cared for family & friends' dogs for 15 years including daily walks, senior care, and behavior training. I’ve been doing Rover full time for 6 months ☺️ 🧡Currently own a 4 year old cat & a 1.5 year old puppy. 🧡Currently training to receive my certification as a Behavior Consultant (CBCC-KA) in the fall of 2024. 🧡Well versed in R+ (positive reinforcement) training & dog behavior. I'm passionate about force-free care and am unwilling to provide services under other circumstances (this means no shock/choke collars, no pain, threats, intimidation, or coercion tactics.) 🧡I work especially well with nervous pets. I have a gentle approach and a lot of patience ☺️ I'm always willing to take the extra time for your pet to get to know me. 🧡Bring on your puppies/tiny alligators! I LOVE training puppies, socializing them, and helping you set them up for a wonderful life. 🧡Accepting & accommodating of queer, neurodivergent, and disabled communities. Please know you’re safe booking with me 🫶🏻 🤎How booking works: - I’ll respond to your message within a day and let you know if I’m available. - I typically like to schedule a meet & greet with you before confirming the booking to make sure everything’s a good fit! This also gives you the opportunity to show me where things are in your home. - If everything is good to go, I’ll confirm the booking on my end, and it’ll have you do the same. Rover will put a hold on your account for the amount paid, although I won’t receive payment until ~2 days after the booking ends. - If you have time to leave a review after the booking, I’d super appreciate it ☺️🫶🏻 🤎Drop-ins: I’ll leave pictures and written updates in the rover card that’s sent to you after each visit. 🤎House sitting: I’m happy to sleep at your place if you’d like. I typically bring my own sheet, blanket, & pillow. I’ll never leave your pet for more than 3hrs at a time, and I typically leave 2-3x a day. I’ll bring my own food and leave your house just as you left it! I typically send 1 detailed update at night so that you can focus on your trip, although I’m happy to send more if you’d like. Of course, I’m willing to take your pet to the vet in case anything comes up.

Lauren was so patient with our 6 month old puppy, Lily! Lily had some tummy troubles during her stay and Lauren was very communicative and willing to help out however she could to help Lily feel more comfortable. Lauren was also very flexible with changing her schedule to best fit Lily’s needs. Would absolutely recommend!!!

Lauren is so great! My dog loved her right away and has a blast with her. She’s always reliable and understanding with last minute changes. I’ve used her several times and will keep booking with her for as long as I can!

Lauren is the best. Called her to pinch hit on walks for Jasper at the last minute due to health issues and she saved the day!

Lauren did a great job with our two little ones. We were out of town for about a week, and we received photos and status updates every day. The dogs were in great spirits when we got home so we know they had a good experience. I would definitely use Lauren again in the future.

During your pet's service, I vow to always arrive on time, give your pet the best care possible, and keep you informed as much as you'd like. I’m happy to help around the house as well, and I'll always try to leave your house cleaner than I found it! I know how scary it can feel to leave your pet with someone else, so I want to do everything possible to ensure both you and your pet are comfortable ☺️

Information Lauren G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any medical needs, dietary restrictions, behavioral issues, or anything else you think is important to know! Things like resource guarding, their behavior towards animals on walks, where they don't like to be pet, etc. are all great things for me to know in order to best prepare for my time with your pet

A typical day

I'm a huge believer in the power of meeting an animal's individual needs, so whether that means taking your dog to the park, on a long walk, practicing training, playing enrichment games, tug of war, fetch, lounging, or anything else, I'm up for it!

This is my main job, so I have a lot of flexibility throughout my week. As such, I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, house sitting, and dog walking services any time of the day or week! I only ask that you give me as much notice as possible for your booking, since my schedule fills up quickly.
