Lauren is an outstanding pet sitter. She has a gift of compassion and love for dogs which makes her an excellent pet sitter for all the quirks and unique personalities of dogs. My senior dog was well cared for and the daily pictures were great. Will definitely book her again!

Lauren was absolutely incredible! So accommodating, communicative and prepared for the whole stay. Her whole family doted on my girls and clearly made them feel right at home. I’m pretty sure the dogs had an even better vacation than me over the week.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced-in back yard and a walking trail for safe walks away from traffic. If your pup prefers to stay indoors, that's great too! We are a non-smoking house. I am diligent about sending pictures throughout your pup's stay so you are able to see your friend daily while away.

A typical day

I have a walking path behind my house for fun walks as well as 2 energetic boys that love to throw the ball and play. We find time to be outside (mister fans during the summer) but also enjoy snuggles on the couch.

I do often have additional Rover clients, so it is important that your pup gets along with others. I also have 2 children in the home. Shy or friendly temperaments are welcomed, but no aggressive personalities, please.
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.
