Information Lauren H. would like to know about your pet

When I meet a new furry friend, I like to find out: 1. What a normal day is like for them. 2. If they have any special dietary needs. 3. What is their favorite toy/ activity/ place? 4. What calms them down and makes them happy? 5. What, if anything, should they avoid (i.e., loud noises, certain places, etc.)? 6. Do they have any allergies/ injuries/ or health concerns that I should be aware of? 7. What are their little quirks that make them special?

A typical day

My furry friends and I love to go on walks in the park, visit the beach, play fetch, play brain games, visit other furry friends (when possible), and watch the sunset after a long fun day.

Pets

Dogs are not pets, they are family!

Pet care experience

I have had a dog companion and have been a dog lover since I was 5 years old. In the busy hustle and bustle of today's high-paced society, I know the stress one can feel from the guilt of a busy schedule. I am passionate about giving dog moms and dads a little peace of mind knowing that they have someone to check in on their furry children, take them on walks, or stay with them overnight when needed. I have 15+ years experience as a dog companion, walker, sitter, and trainer. I have been a companion of and have worked with dogs ranging in size from tea cup to large breed. I've been the go to sitter/walker/check-in for all of my friends and family for years. I am a lover of all animals, I volunteer with local animal shelters, and used to spend countless hours chasing squirrels with my beloved dog (RIP Willow) at the local park (disclaimer: no squirrels were harmed in the writing of this bio). My schedule is flexible and allows for throughout-the-day care for furry children of all shapes and sizes. I am available to check-in and spend 30 minutes or more with your furry friend providing services such as a belly rubs, walks, brush-downs, games of catch, administering oral medication, bathroom breaks, etc. I am open to providing other services, on a case-by-case basis. I am also available for overnight stays at your home with your furry children. For overnights, I will provide a walk in the evening and in the morning, will give your woofie a brush-down, provide meals per their dietary schedule and food type, and will tuck them in with a bedtime story. I am open to snuggling and sharing a bed with your woofie if that is their normal routine (I know my own furry child loved to snuggle at night). If there are any particular parts of your pet's routine you would like followed or any additional services you would like to request, please let me know. I am passionate about the care and happiness of pets. To me, pets are family; they have their own unique personalities and they love us unconditionally. I am attentive, caring, experienced, and professional. Let's chat about how I can make your furry friend's day awesome!

Lauren did a great job watching our fur baby. She communicated well and sent photos and videos. I could tell from the videos that our dog felt comfortable in her home. She also took our dog on walks and played fetch with her. It was a great visit, and I would have Pattie Cake stay with Lauren again.

Lauren watched our dog over a holiday and made our vacation so much easier and more enjoyable! The updates and photos were so appreciated. I don’t think our sweet Ivy wants to leave her! We have never tried Rover because it was hard to find an affordable and trustworthy person - Lauren is it!!

My dog Petey’s usual sitter had moved so this was first time for Petey and Lauren together and I was a bit nervous. But within couple of days I stopped worrying as it was evident from Lauren’s regular updates that they were getting along well and Petey was safe and taken good care. Lauren is a very responsible and responsive sitter and I would use her services again if need arises.

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.
