Hello! :) I'm Lauren. I am 25 years old and have just recently moved to Santa Cruz, CA. Growing up, I would sit the pets of my neighbors and family friends. Now in adulthood, to Rover is the perfect way to continue my love of helping people give their pets a happy life. I began using rover about three years ago while living in San Diego. I took a year long break while living and working on a farm in San Gregorio, where I got to spend every day with my big, loving Great Pyrenees friend, Mochi. I do not currently have an animal companion of my own, so I am quite happy to be back on here! I love going on walks and runs, and being able to do so with animals is a great pleasure! I am eager to play on the beach and spend quality time with your dog or cat!
