Availability

I’m a nurse so I typically work longer hours and less days, therefore more days off to hang with your fur babies. Because my schedule isn’t exactly the same each week, my availability changes.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety is of utmost importance to me. I will respect any requests/restrictions you have for your pet because I ultimately want them to be safe and happy and for you to know you can feel comfortable and at ease when I’m caring for them.

Information Lauren M. would like to know about your pet

It is of utmost importance to me that you feel safe and comfortable with me caring for your baby. By providing me enough information about your pets temperament, likes/dislikes and needs, I can take full advantage of my time with them to get the most out of our visit.

A typical day

Ideally I’d love to engage your pet in activities you tell me they love. I’m outside walking a ton and would be happy to have your companion with me. There are plenty of dog parks to play fetch and engage with other dogs (if requested). I’m happy to accommodate the needs of your pets activity requirements and your requests.

Furry BFF’s are my fave

Pet care experience

I was raised with animals my whole life. As a nurse, I love being able to care for my patients at work, but being around animals truly brings me joy. With a dream to work with animals that didn’t come to fruition, I can’t imagine a better way to spend my time on my days off. I currently have two kitties of my own and two golden retrievers at my family home. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes and have experience dog/cat sitting for several friends and family.

Lauren was great!! My cat seemed to like her, too! That’s not always the case but Rover people are animal people and they know. I’m so happy she was here.

This was our first time using a pet sitter, and we were very pleased with Lauren’s work. Our cat received all the necessary care and was well looked after. We highly recommend her.

Lauren was very reliable and was readily available when my travel plans got delayed, able to check on my car for a couple extra days while I was away last minute. Thank you!!

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.
