Availability

Working from home on a flexible schedule allows me to take the best care of your creature and help them cope with separation anxiety. Since gaining new clients on Rover, my husband and I have developed a routine for when we have furry visitors. Everyone has their meals in separate rooms of our home, we go for a walk as a group (promotes pack bonding), hangout in the backyard, and then we start our day jobs. I have different areas setup for pets so they can distance themselves from other pups if needed.

Safety, trust & environment

I want to minimize your fur baby's stress while you’re away, while also distracting them from the fact that you're gone by incorporating their routine into our own. If they are accustomed to watching TV all day or going for a 5 mile run, that’s what we will do! We have pup-friendly spaces in every room of our house that allow for guest pups to zen out away from our own pack if they so desire.

Information Lauren H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know their history of vaccinations, medical needs, potential food allergies, and/or any events of aggression. I would love to know their full routine, favorite spots for a walk, and favorite treats.

A typical day

My goal is for your pet to stay safe and have fun in a super dog-friendly environment in our home. Exhausted pups are happy pups, so we wake up each day at 6am. We play in the backyard until breakfast at 9am (everyone eats separately to avoid potential food aggression). After everyone has breakfast, it's time to go back to the yard and play or take a nap. Once I have knocked out a few tasks for my travel business, we will take a walk around the neighborhood as a pack. During the afternoon, I knock out the majority of my work and let everyone nap around the house. Everyone will have dinner again at 7pm. Then it is time to throw the ball a few more times in the backyard and prep for bed. We will typically take another short walk after dinner (weather/energy-permitting).

Full Time Dog Mom

Pet care experience

I have been responsible for fur babies for upwards of 15 years in a variety of settings including experience working in veterinary clinics. Now I work as a Travel Agent and am home 95% of the time. I treat all creatures (great and small) with the love and compassion I expect my own to be treated with when I’m away. Your fur babies will be on a set schedule and have their own "staycation" when you travel.

Our pup Scarlett had a great stay with Lauren and family. This was our first Rover experience and Lauren made sure she fit right in with the pack. We would definitely recommend Lauren. It really does ease the mind and let you enjoy your trip when you know your dog is having a positive experience. Thanks again.

Our pup stayed for 8 days while we were on vacation. He was happy and healthy when we returned and had been socializing and playing. He liked Lauren a lot more than other formal boarding places he has stayed.

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.
