Highlights
Pet care experience
Former vet tech who loves animals!
I've had pets my whole life and have always loved animals. I volunteered abroad in India at an animal shelter where I worked mainly with strays and orphaned puppies. I went to school for veterinary technology and worked as a veterinary technician for over three years.

Excellent sitter! We're thoroughly impressed and will definitely be in touch again. Lauren was wonderfully kind to our cat and gave us daily updates with pictures. Never felt so much peace of mind while out of town!

Lauren always does a great job! We never worry about anything when she is taking care of our pets and home.
Wonderful as always! I’m so grateful for Lauren’s flexibility and the amazing care she gives my pup. My work schedule is pretty unpredictable, and she’s consistently dependable and accommodating with any requests I’ve had. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing Jess is in such good hands.
Lauren was fantastic as always! Lots of communication and pictures which we sincerely appreciate. We never worry about our house or animals when she’s house sitting.

Schedule
I am currently in grad school at UW Tacoma and will be out of the house on Wednesday and Thursday evenings from about 5:30-10:00 PM for classes. Other than that, pet sitting is my full-time job, so I am available to care for your adorable fuzzy friends on weekdays and weekends! My availability for drop-ins and walks is from 7:30 AM to 9 PM.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have third-party pet sitter insurance with Pet Care Insurance for your peace of mind! I have air conditioning to keep your pets cool and comfortable during hot summer days. I have plenty of indoor space for your pets, and my home is safe and quiet. I don't have a yard, but I do have a patio with several large patches of real grass that I replace about every few weeks, and I'm a five-minute drive from the nearest park. I am also happy to take dogs on hiking trails! Other supplies and amenities I offer for boarding and day care include poop bags, potty pads, many different kinds of treats, all sorts of toys, treat puzzles, battery-powered toys for cats, pet beds in select sizes, scratching posts and pads, and bowls in a variety of sizes. I also have two wire crates: a 29" and a 42". I live with one other - my partner Jay, also a Rover sitter (https://r.rover.com/9VoZNn).
A typical day
I'm big on keeping your pets entertained both physically and mentally! For pups, we'll play games like tug-of-war and fetch. For kitties, I have a wide variety of toys that they can interact with solo or with me. I also love using treat puzzle toys for both cats and dogs. I'm big on snuggle time for pets that are comfortable with that level of touch. For dogs I board, they will get at least one long walk or hike per day (more depending on their energy level and exercise needs) and as many potty breaks as they need!
