Pet care experience

I am a former Special Education Teacher primarily booking house/pet sitting clients. I work minimal hours remotely and enjoy the novelty and companionship that Rover clients offer my lifestyle. This means I have a lot of time and attention to devote to your pet when you cannnot. I live on a lovely property in the country with a large yard and access to miles of wooded trails for long walks. I’m primarily interested in house/pet sitting clients and am open to boarding or pet sitting for a repeat clients I am familiar with. I have experience with large breed and high energy breeds over the years. I do not qualify myself a “trainer”, however, I completed Therapy Dog Selection and Training through the University of Maine and have studied animal behavior for my professional work. I look forward to getting to know you and your pet! I when I am not hanging out with your pets or working, I am an active outdoorswoman, gardener, and yoga instructor.

Our 18 month old black English Labrador had a great time during her stay with Lauren. Lauren kept us constantly apprised through messages and photos with how well our puppy was enjoying her stay both at Lauren’s home and at our cottage in Bayside.

We were in need of a replacement sitter for our dog Joey after her lifelong caregiver of 7 years retired. Lauren came through for us in a big way. Her quiet home and gentle nature were perfect for our girl and gave us peace of mind that she was in good hands while we were away visiting family. We will definitely continue to use her services going forward!

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.
