Pet care experience

I sit, they stay, you play!

What sets me apart from other sitters is my diverse experience and genuine love for all animals. Growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, lizards, hamsters, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, and more, I developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. This background allows me to cater to a wide range of pets with individualized care, whether it's working with puppies, providing gentle senior care, or simply offering companionship. My commitment to creating a safe, comfortable environment ensures that every pet entrusted to me receives the highest standard of care and attention.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In both my own home and clients' homes, safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for pets are my top priorities. I ensure a safe space by pet-proofing areas and removing any hazards. Trust is built through regular updates and clear communication with pet owners about their pets' well-being and activities. Gaining the animal's trust involves being patient, attentive to their cues, and consistently providing gentle care and positive interactions. Environmentally, I try to use pet-friendly products and adhere to any specific routines or diets provided by owners to maintain consistency and comfort for their pets.

Schedule

As a recent graduate from Brown University working full-time as a paralegal from 9 to 5 during the week, my schedule revolves around ensuring my family pets and any other pets I am responsible for receive the care they need. Evenings and weekends are dedicated to spending quality time with them. I've developed a routine that includes daily care for both my dog and cat, despite my dog's age preventing long walks now. Instead, we focus on gentle exercises and indoor play to keep him comfortable and happy.

Lauren can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Before dog sitting, walking, or doing drop-in visits, it's essential to gather key information. This includes the owner's contact details and emergency contacts, the dog's feeding and exercise routines, any medical needs or medications, behavioral traits and triggers, emergency procedures, house rules, necessary supplies, home security details, duration of care, and the owner's expectations for updates and additional tasks. Being well-informed ensures the dog receives tailored care while providing reassurance to the owner about their pet's well-being and home security.
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.
