Pet care experience

Pet Lover & Parent with Fenced Yard

Meet your new pet sitter in Upper Arlington. Thanks to my work-from-home career, pet care is my daily joy. Whether in your home or mine, I’m looking forward to caring for your pet. My home’s layout is naturally divided into sections that create the cat side and the dog side. The dog side includes a doggy door to my expansive back yard for daytime access. The cat side boasts two cat trees, a bay window, and a bird feeder. My dog is a 4-year-old black lab, fully vetted and vaccinated. She is quiet, friendly, and playful. Because my spouse is a certified canine handler, our pup is well trained. She was crate-trained originally, but now sleeps on our family room sofa where your dog is also welcome. I have experience administering insulin to a senior dog for whom I care in the owner’s home. I also have experience caring for a cat with a feeding tube in my home. I am comfortable giving oral and injectable medicines to both cats and dogs.

This is our second time working with Lauren. I always feel at ease leaving my kitties with Lauren. She really captures their personality with the rover cards so I know they are acting like themselves!

Lauren was amazing! She took care of our two dogs for the week while we were out of state. She gave thorough updates and kept us in the loop with any concerns, etc (dogs paw irritated) to see how she could help. We will rebook her every time we need a Rover!

They took amazing care of our big buddy Yogi. We can tell he had so much fun and was wore out in a good way. Thank you so much!!

Safety, trust & environment

Thanks to my experience overseeing a childcare center when my children were young, I am familiar with logging and communicating routines to keep you updated while you are away. You will receive photos of your fur-babies throughout their time with me.

I would love to meet your pet before I become their caretaker! I’m happy to come to your home, although I find it helpful for pups to come to my home before their first stay. I want you both to feel comfortable with the new environment. It affords the perfect opportunity to go over feeding and medication schedules. And it’s a great way for me to learn what your pet loves so I may provide the best care.
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.
