Vet Tech who will go above + beyond

I was away from rover for a bit but I’m back!! My sitter score was falsely lowered while I was off the app. Please read more about me below and feel free to reach out :) Hi! I’m Lauren, a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 16 years of experience in veterinary medicine, including both general practice and emergency medicine. 🐾 I’m a strong believer that caring for pets starts with building a relationship with them. I especially have a soft spot for the cautious, nervous, and sensitive ones. I love taking the time to earn their trust and help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with all kinds of animals; from dogs and cats to exotics, pocket pets, horses, and farm animals. I’m experienced in caring for puppies, kittens, senior and geriatric pets, as well as pets with medical needs. I’m also comfortable administering all types of prescribed medications, including insulin, pills, injections, and more. I also have experience with grooming and really enjoy working with both cats and dogs. And as someone who loves photography, you can expect plenty of pictures and daily updates of your pets while they’re in my care! 📸❤️ My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. While also giving their owners peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Just need someone to administer medications? I can help with that too! Whether you’re looking for regular pet care, have a senior or medically complex pet, or simply want someone who will treat your pets like family, I’d love to connect. Send me a message, tell me a little about your pets, and let’s get to know each other! 🐶🐱🐾

Lauren is prompt, professional, and being a vet tech, someone I can trust leaving my sweet babies in her care. I will be using her services regularly, since I need help giving my cat subq fluids for her kidney disease.

Lauren & Holly took such great care of our dogs while we were away for a weekend. They sent us updates and pictures, which we really appreciated. We were a bit nervous, as our 8-month-old Great Dane has never stayed at someone else's home before, at least not without us, but it looked like she settled in pretty quickly. We were so relieved about that, especially for our Dane who's usually a bit of a nervous Nellie. As for our other dog, who is older at 7 years, she pretty much went right in and made herself at home. We have boarded her in the past, in a kennel setting, and she hated it. We love that Lauren & Holly don't keep the dogs in any kennels, although we did send over a crate for our Dane in case she had any accidents -- and she didn't! Lauren & Holly genuinely love animals, and it definitely shows. They treated our fur babies like their own, and we couldn't have asked for more. We look forward to the next time our girls get to spend time with them. I would recommend them to anyone looking for someone reliable, trustworthy and loving to care for their dogs.

Lauren and Holly have been a huge help giving our kitten his injections while we've been away. Their knowledge has helped us improve how we give the injections ourselves as well. They've been great with checking in and sending us photos. Definitely recommend!
