Pet care experience

Dependable and Attentive Pet Sitter

I've grown up with pets and have since always come home to one. I started pet sitting in high school and continued to sit for the same and new families for years. I love all dogs and got my cat about two years ago. With my years of experience, I have cared for puppies up to senior dogs, cats, and some special needs animals. I love all animals and would be thrilled to care for yours!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's wellbeing, safety, and comfort is my top priority. I am an avid rule-follower and love thorough instructions to be able to give your pet the best care they need and deserve. I have my own cat and have trusted fellow Rover sitters and would love to be able to do the same. I believe in leaving a place the same or better than it was found, and would do the same when visiting your home.

Drop-In Visits • Jul 16, 2026

Great drop-in visit! Our pup was well cared for, and it was such a relief knowing she was in good hands while we were away. We loved receiving the updates and photos. Thank you for taking such great care of her—we’d definitely book again!

Lauren has taken care of my dog Mikey many times! She is wonderful with him. He gets excited to see her every time. He is a high energy dog, so he’s a lot to keep track of. She does a lot of hiking with him and is over all very attentive to him. She knows the idea of a good dog is a tired dog. He can also be a good cuddler and I know she get cuddle time in with him too!! I highly recommend Lauren. She’s easy to communicate with and very competent!!

Lauren is an animal whisperer! Every room she walks into she is immediately surrounded by any and all animals. She’s loving, kind, and caring, and she works hard to make sure your animal is happy and safe. I highly recommend hiring her for your pet needs!

I can’t recommend Lauren highly enough. She has watched and taken care of my dogs numerous times, and every single experience has been exceptional. She’s trustworthy, consistently caring, and genuinely loving to to my dog. She is the kind of person animals relax around immediately. Lauren communicates clearly, shows up exactly when she says she will, and treats my dogs like they’re her own. I always come home to happy, calm pups and the reassuring sense that they were not just “looked after,” but truly cared for. If you’re looking for someone dependable with a big heart and great judgment, It's Lauren.

Schedule

I am currently a part-time student in college and have a lot of time. I do have some schoolwork, but it's very light and I pretty much have an open week. I also have weekends free, so I am very flexible and can work whenever.
