Ratings and reviews
Lauren takes such great care of our pup whenever we are away. Our pup hasn’t been over for some time and knew exactly where to go as soon as we got out of the car for drop off. Lauren’s home has become a second home for Percy and we are so grateful we found her!
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 was wonderful as usual! We can’t recommend her enough!
Lauren always does a fantastic job! We love having her watch our house and animals!
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.

Schedule
I am currently in grad school at UW Tacoma and will be out of the house on Tuesday 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 on most days (7:30 AM to 4 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays).

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 high quality synthetic turf with antibacterial sand 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 (including battery-powered toys for cats), treat puzzles, pet beds in select sizes, scratching posts and pads, and bowls in a variety of sizes. I also have two adjustable wire crates: a 29" and a 42". I live with one other person - my partner Jay, also a Rover sitter (https://r.rover.com/9VoZNn).
A typical day
I'm committed to 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 or house sit, they will get at least one long walk or hike per day and as many short walks / potty breaks as they need!
