Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Lauren, and I would love to help you with your pets and be at your service!! Whether you’re busy, at work, on vacation- you shouldn’t have to worry about your pet being lonely at home, needing to go to the bathroom, or you walking into a mess. For a reasonable price, I will take the most loving care of your pet in any way I can- with the available service Rover helps me provide. I understand that your pets are your family members, and I will treat them as I treat my own pets- with lots of love and dedication, and I will treat our business relationship AND you with the upmost respect and transparency to make the process and experience as best as it can possibly be! While I have experience with many animals, I've worked for Rover, Wag!, and Zspuplove- all of which work with dogs. I’ve worked with other dog companies as well (such as Out and About Pets in Northbrook, IL) and have passed a college course in which I learned how to train dogs (clicker training!). I excel at reinforcing positive behavior along with using classical conditioning. I always positively reinforce good behavior. All animals should always be shown love, and applause when they listen :) 😊🐾🥰🐶Patience & building a relationship with a dog so that a dog can enjoy themselves and be themselves around me is what is important to me. I can tell you my success comes from one main source and that’s my heart. I promise to take care of your furry friend and to keep them safe, comfortable, happy, and excited! I will take the time to acknowledge your pet’s comfort level, personality, and any additional needs. Please contact me if interested in any service, if you have any questions, etc.!
Reviews
This was our first time using Lauren to watch our senior Golden. The photos she sent during our trip really put us at ease. She’s attentive to your pet and really cares. We’d use Lauren again in the future!
Lauren was great, very accommodating! Took great care of our dog, sent lots of pictures and he had a great time with her dog as well. Will definitely use her again!! Thanks!
Lauren was great! She showed up on time and took great care of my dogs.
Lauren is so sweet & my dog seems to love her & her puppy! She always sends lots of videos & pictures & I can tell he just has the best time!

I offer boarding in my home, drop-in visits in clients' homes, as well as walks. I am SOON getting a gate around my backyard and am SO excited! As of now, I take the dogs on walks frequently and let them out on leashes in between walks. I am starting back up doing sittings (in clients’ homes!) again! I price it a little higher because I can service multiple clients boarding while only one client doing sittings. I hope that makes sense and you can understand :)
Home
Information Lauren M. would like to know about your pet
Behaviors, eating pattern, reaction to new people and caretakers, trust ability, energy level, activity level, potty break schedule, how long they can be left alone, how to warm them up and perk them up, favorite toys, favorite chill spots *BOARDING* I MUST know if your dog shows aggression towards other dogs or if your dog has in the past. I am responsible for the well-being of all of the animals I board and therefore want to keep all their experiences stress-free. While I’m able to separate the house with baby fences if problems do arise, the dogs aren’t getting a fun experience being cornered in an area not getting a fair opportunity for attention and socialization.
A typical day
I will take your doggies to smell all the smells, be active if possible, and get in some major play time. I enjoy walking dogs in quieter neighborhoods and to dog parks, but it's all up to the owner what is best!

Availability
Starting late December, I will be working full time 9-4 at an elementary school as a school counselor. This does limit how available I am during the day, but often my boyfriend is home until 4:30 because he works nights. He’s been helping me board since 2020 and is great with animals. So USUALLY, someone is always home. While that may not always be the case, I value transparency and will always be honest about my schedule and how/if that will fit with your needs.
