I’ve worked with animals in multiple different ways. But currently I am a dog groomer looking to give my care on the side! I wont be around all hours of the day for your pet because I do work during the day so your dog will have to be comfortable being alone for however long my shift that day is, but as soon as my shift is over I will return to your pet asap with all my love to give !! With enough time in advance, i’m hoping to find the time to care for your animal and help as much as I can! I am comfortable with pretty much anything as long as there is open communication and understanding!

Information Lauren J. would like to know about your pet

Important things for me to know ahead of time would be any special needs, allergies, medications, aggression, or quirks your animal may have. Keep me in the loop so i can give your pet the comfortability and proper care they deserve!

A typical day

One of my favorite things to do with new animals I watch is send plenty of pictures and videos to the pet parent! It helps the owner feel more comfortable with someone watching their baby and shows the level of care I give. Another important thing is inside and outside play time with toys, walks, and if you have a fenced in yard, plenty of outside time.

Pet care experience

I’ve always been an animal girl of all kinds, but dogs and cats are my LIFE!!! I have a dog and cat myself. I have SO much love to give, and i’m SO excited to meet and get to know more fur babies. I have a lot of experience and am very responsible. I have worked with animals of all sizes and different temperaments and no animal is off limits! I’m ready to give all my care and cuddles to your animal of all shapes, sizes and ages like they are my own :) I put my all into pet sitting, meeting new owners and animals fills my heart. I am loyal to my clients and pets, a lot of people i’ve worked with through Rover I still consistently watch for years!

Lauren was great! She was dependable, communicative and conscientious. We were gone for 6 days and she looked after our home and our little buddy. She sent us a cute pic or video almost everyday day which made me smile and feel secure that he was cared for and having fun. We would like to have her back next time! 😃

Lauren is great! She communicated so well and sent lots of pictures. Madison and Koda were so well taken care of while we were gone. We had a great long weekend and didn't worry about home.

Lauren did a wonderful job with my pups!! She was so enthusiastic about them and I could tell that they really felt comfortable with her stay since they hardly noticed me when I came back home! Thanks for your great service Lauren!
