Highlights
Pet care experience
Nature Walks & Belly Rubs
Need a sitter you can trust? I’m your person. I’m looking to connect with more great pets and their people! I’ve been pet sitting for over 18 years and have had animals of my own since childhood. I genuinely love befriending pets and giving them the consistency, attention, and comfort they deserve while their people are away. I’ve cared for all types of pets and farm animals and am happy to adapt to whatever each one needs. Medications, special diets, anxious pets, specific routines, or a dog who thinks every walk should be an expedition? I’m on it. While I’m newer to Rover, I’m definitely not new to pet sitting. Most of my experience has been through word of mouth and repeat clients who trust me with their animals. I have great reviews, and many of my happiest clients have simply shared my name with others looking for a sitter. I’m also a pediatric Occupational Therapist, so being attentive, responsible, and adaptable is very much part of who I am. I take just as much pride in leaving homes spotless and well cared for as I do in caring for the pets. I’m dependable, communicative, and easygoing. I’ll follow your instructions, keep you updated while you’re away, and make sure your pets get the care and companionship they’re used to. Beach walks, hikes, fetch, couch cuddles—or respectfully sitting across the room while your cat decides whether I’ve earned their trust—I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Reliable care, a cared-for home, and peace of mind while you’re away.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I believe pets are happiest in their own space, surrounded by familiar smells, routines, and cozy spots. That’s why I prefer caring for pets in their home—whether it’s house sitting or drop-in visits. It keeps things stress-free for them (and you!). Every pet is different, and I take the time to get to know what makes yours feel safe, happy, and cared for—whether that’s sticking to a feeding schedule, playing their favorite game, or just offering quiet company. Have special requests or unique needs? I’m all ears. Let’s work together to create a care plan that feels just right for your furry friend.
Ratings and reviews
Lauren took great care of our pups while we were away. She kept us updated and left our house spotless!
Lauren was on time, honest and kept me updated with pictures. Would definitely hire again!
Our dogs loved Lauren, and we heartily approved of her performance in all respects as well. Lauren was responsible, caring, and communicative. She answered our initial request in a timely fashion and communicated promptly and appropriately thereafter as regards scheduling. She updated us twice a day with photos of our dogs. Our house was in excellent condition on our return. We recommend her and would ask for her assistance when we next travel.
Lauren was fantastic—our dogs loved her, and we felt totally at ease leaving both them and our home in her care. She was on time, communicative, and kept everything running smoothly while we were away. Came home to happy pups and a spotless house. Couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend!
I couldn’t be more grateful for the care our cat received! Lauren was reliable, punctual, and incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire pet sitting experience. She followed all instructions perfectly, kept in touch with updates, and most importantly, made our cat feel comfortable and safe in our absence. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like her own. I felt totally at ease knowing our pet was in such capable and compassionate hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and attentive pet care!
Lauren took care of my four dogs in my home when my husband and I went away for extended vacations and long weekends. She was 100% reliable, trustworthy and great with the animals. I would totally recommend Lauren to take care of your animals.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my day—I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. I genuinely love being around animals, and it brings me joy to care for them, whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or overnight stay. I’m happy to adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs.
