Pet care experience

I'll care for them like my own!

I have been caring for animals since I was 18. I am now 38. I have been entrusted with many of our loved ones' animals and have cared for them at all stages - puppies, kittens, adults, seniors, etc. In my home life, I care for 3 cats, and before that I cared for a Frenchie for 9 years. She was a wonderful dog but had a multitude of health issues, so I am familiar with both flat-nosed breeds and caring for a dog with multiple meds and supplements. I am extremely communicative and leave detailed updates. I have been praised for them in many of my reviews and look forward to easing your mind while I am caring for your baby.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When people come to our home to care for our pets, I leave detailed instructions and am comfortable receiving the same. I will treat their home and family as though they are my own. It is very hard to find trustworthy people to care for our furbabies, so I will do everything I can to put the client's mind at ease and give their baby well-deserved love and attention.

We had Lauren stop by daily for 2 weeks for our 2 cats. She was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure they weren’t missing us too much. Lauren was great at sending us pictures and messages about the cats. We’ll definitely be rebooking Lauren next time we go out of town.

Lauren was great! She was very attentive to Archee as demonstrated by the very detailed narratives she would leave after each check-in. All of this was backed up by plenty of photos. It was very reassuring that Archee was left in such capable hands and I look forward to using Lauren again.

Lauren is amazing. She went above and beyond making sure my kitties were all well taking care of, getting Jinxy his meds, anticipating needs without me having to say anything. Lauren was more than willing to help with other things like taking out trash. She even brought my mail up. This is the best Rover experience I have had and will definitely book with her in the future.

Lauren was the perfect companion for my Laverne! She was thoughtful, responsive, and respectful of Vern’s personal space. She made sure she wasn’t adding to Laverne’s stress level while I was away and did her best to make her feel loved. I’m glad we found someone we trust 💕

Lauren was fantastic with our 2 furbabies. She gave thoughtful notes and updates daily and we came home to two happy kitties! We will definitely use her as our future Rover sitter!
