Highlights
Pet care experience
Flexible Pet Sitter for All Pets
For personal experience, I’ve grown up with three dogs my entire life; a Chocolate Lab, a Cane Corso and a Shiloh Shepherd. I actively engaged in their training and in taking care of them along with my parents. In college, I helped train my friend’s dog, an Australian Shepherd/Lab mix, and currently take him out to the dog park twice a week. As of February 2022, I adopted my own dog, Palatine, from Saving Grace in Raleigh. Since then, I’ve been diligent with her training. I love watching her progress, and even though it does take a lot of patience and consistency, it’s been more than worth it. As for professional experience, for the past few years I have pet/house sat for a family in Clayton for anywhere between 7-10 days. This family has three dogs and two cats, so I am comfortable with several animals in one location. I watch my friend’s cat for anywhere between 2-5 days when they are out of town. And finally, I of course have experience here on Rover with a variety of pets!

Safety, trust & environment
My dog, Palatine, gets walked 4x a day (one of these being an hour long walk, the rest of her walks are 5-10 minutes). She’s a puller, so I do well handling a dog that needs more attention on a walk. She now has a special harness to assist with pulling. She also is prey driven, so I am very aware on walks with her, as I would be with your dog, too. I’m more than happy to take your pet on one or more walks to give them the exercise they need.
Ratings and reviews
Lauren always does a great job! Great communication and takes thoughtful care of mittens!
Lauren was great! Went above and beyond and took great care of Mittens! Would highly recommend!
Lauren M. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Lauren watched over my cat during a long weekend and was great. She sent lots of updates and played with him for as long as he wanted during the drop-ins.
Lauren is the best!! She is so good with both of my dogs. I feel so much better knowing they are getting exercise during the day and are in great hands! Highly recommend Lauren.
Lauren is always so great with my Simba and sends so many pictures of him being happy. Recently he got off leash and decided he wanted to play games instead of listening unfortunately and she handled It calmly and got It all under control and taken care of quickly while I was on an airplane and flying home.
