Pet care experience
I started pet sitting with Rover in 2020 and I most enjoy caring for dogs and cats since I can’t adopt some myself. I had dogs and cats for most of my life until moving to Massachusetts. I am happy to enforce your training rules and give plenty of snuggles so your fur baby won’t be too sad that you’re gone! I work FT outside the home but am a homebody other than that so my free time belongs to your pet! I have experience working with quirky dogs- leash, people, and dog reactive. You and I will come up with a plan to set your pup up for success and I always stay calm under pressure. I have lots of experience administering oral meds to pets and managing diabetes in cats- including glucose testing and insulin injections. As for housesitting, I’m a quiet, laidback, clean person happy to keep an eye on things, accept packages, take care of trash & recycling, and meet repairpeople as needed.
Reviews
Lauren was amazing! This is the first time I’ve had anyone (other than family 😀) stay with our pets, and I was really happy to have found Lauren. My older dog is 13 and gets very stressed going to a kennel. Lauren was communicative before the stay - even during the holidays - and reached out whenever she had a question during the visit. She sent pictures every day that showed the dogs looking as comfortable as though we were still at home with them. I would highly recommend her!
This was a second time having Lauren cat- and housesit and once again she was super communicative and took great care of everything. We know we are leaving our little guys in great hands with her!
Lauren is wonderful with our dogs, and terrific at sending updates and photos. Can’t wait to work with her again!
We are repeat customers and were happy to have Lauren dog sit for us again! As usual she took excellent care of our dog and of our house, going above and beyond with both! Great communication before, during, and after her stay. We look forward to having her care for our dog in the future!
