Safety, trust & environment

I tailor care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal schedule—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions to help their pet feel comfortable and secure. I always aim to create a calm, clean, and caring environment, whether I’m there for a quick visit or an overnight stay. Clear communication and lots of love are at the heart of how I care for every pet!

Information Lauren H. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know your pet’s routine, personality, any quirks, and medical needs ahead of time. I also like to know how they do on walks, around other animals, and if there are any triggers or behaviors to watch for—anything that helps me provide the best care possible!

A typical day

I tailor activities to each pet—whether it’s walks, fetch, playtime, or just relaxing and giving lots of love. I make sure they feel happy, engaged, and cared for!

Loving Dog Mom & Trusted Pet Pal

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Lauren – an animal lover, proud dog mom to two sweet pups (Jenny and Annie), and your go-to sitter or walker when life gets busy. Whether your dog is high-energy and needs a good run, or just wants a cozy companion to hang with, I’m here to care for them like they’re my own. I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly enjoy the connection and joy they bring. With Jenny and Annie, I’ve handled everything from training and daily walks to special diets and snuggle time on the couch. I know how important it is to have someone reliable and loving looking after your pets, and I’d be honored to be that person for you. What I Offer: • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • Overnight sitting in your home • Lots of love, belly rubs, and updates while you’re away! Why Choose Me: • Experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments • Flexible schedule • I treat every dog like family • Great communicator – expect lots of photos and updates! Let me know how I can help support you and your furry friend. Can’t wait to meet your pup!

Reliable, punctual, and great communication! We had a fantastic experience with this drop-in visit! Lauren arrived exactly on time, which gave us total peace of mind. We loved getting the photo updates while we were away, and she left everything perfectly clean and tidy. Our pup was so well taken care of—we will definitely be booking with Lauren again!

Lauren was incredibly communicative and responsive. She kept me updated throughout the evening and sent tons of adorable pictures of Roxy, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear from the photos and her messages that Lauren genuinely cares about the animals she watches. She seemed so loving and attentive with Roxy, giving her the comfort and attention she needed while I was gone. Knowing that Lauren was spending the night with her made me feel so much better about leaving my girl behind. . I highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter.

Lauren is the best! My dogs loved her! She absolutely understands dogs (i have senior medical dog) and my concerns and worries and really alleviated those concerns by sending photos and checking in. She is great at communicating and very responsive. She is also accommodating. I will definitely be using Lauren again!

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.
