Overprotective Dog Mom

Hi! I am Lauren. I love dogs. (Especially, snuggly ones... and I have a very soft spot for King Charles Cavaliers and Spaniels). I am one of those people that will try to see how many dogs I can smile at while walking the Katy Trail and if you have a cavalier, I have probably already crossed a street to say hello. ;) About Me: I am an overprotective dog mom that will love your fur kids like my life depends on it. When I am traveling, I want to know my kids are safe and loved. I'd just rather not travel if I can't be 100% sure they are OK. I will treat your babies with the same love and care... and send tons of photos (if you like). I have 2 pups. June-- is 12.5 year old judgmental, too smart, loving old lady and my Spirit Animal, Ollie, who is my 3.5 year old Cavalier-- an absolute goofball and wants to say hi to everyone and everything. We do not have a yard but we live off the trail and go outside every 2-3.5 hours. We have an elevator and stairs. When the pups are not napping, they are playing ball in the hall, snuggling, or checking out squirrels outside. Some of our neighbors have yards and sometimes we just go sit in it and observe the squirrels. I have fostered pups, taken care of family pups (for extended periods of time) and helped out friends with their pups. I decided to create a Rover account when my best friend (out of state) struggled for months to find a sitter she was comfortable leaving her dog with and as someone who combs through Rover profiles like a crazy person, I totally get it. I can be that for you this summer.

Lauren did an amazing job caring for my pups and keeping them company while I was away! They absolutely adored her and her own dogs! She stayed in contact with me throughout the stay which made me feel great about the health and happiness of my dogs. I would definitely suggest Lauren for anyone looking for a sitter or dog walker!

Schedule

I am a Nutritionist. I work in office and virtual but I work part-time during the summer in Dallas (as my clientele tends to travel). If I am not home, my husband is. Or we both are. So someone will always be around to provide pets. But I will be the one to take care of them. I hate leaving my kids for long so I am very savvy about timing my day.

Need to know special needs or behaviors. Must be other dog friendly. I am very well versed in Cavalier and cavalier mixes. I even started a Cavalier Club in Dallas-- IG: cavalier club Dallas.
