Your Four-Legged Friend's New BFF
Please note for new boarding requests: I currently live in Philadelphia, but am available for boarding at my parent's house with some advanced notice. Thank you! Hi there! I am Lauren - I am a seasoned pet owner and dog enthusiast! I have been a Rover sitter going on four years now after losing my rescue, JJ, to cancer in 2020 and the passing of my beloved childhood yellow lab, Emma in 2022. I was previously only taking repeat clients for the last few years, but have decided to reopen boarding requests for 2026 for anyone interested! I have experience with dog walking and sitting, as well as experience caring for puppies and disabled and elderly dogs. My lab had hip issues in the last two years of her life, so I am well-versed in caring for large dogs with mobility troubles. I am cat and dog first aid certified through the Red Cross and have successfully responded to choking situations in the past. I also have experience cleaning and dressing wounds. I previously worked at the Pennsylvania SPCA and volunteered at animal shelters while I was a college student, so I am no stranger to caring for animals of various age, size, breed, and requirements. I truly love and care for my doggie pals as if they were family and have cherished the opportunity to bond with my clients over the years. This really is as close to a dream job as I could imagine!

Ratings and reviews
If you need to take a trip, don't hesitate to leave your pup with Lauren. It's always hard to leave your fur baby behind for a weekend or a trip, and any new sitter always leaves you with a little bit of uncertainty. Lauren and her family are amazing people, and they took amazing care of Charlie. She communicated with us throughout his stay with her, sent plenty of pictures, including action shots of him playing, hanging out on the couch, and sleeping. All of his little pup care items were taken care of, wiping his face folds, giving him his allergy medicine, etc. She truly loves animals, and we would note hesitate to book with Lauren again.
Lauren and her family were amazing!!! Very flexible and attentive to my senior dogs’ changing needs. Great with updates, walks, medical needs, everything! My three dogs seemed so blissful there :)
Pan has stayed with Lauren many times. He thoroughly enjoys his time with Lauren and her family. I know he is loved and in wonderful hands while I am away. This is his home away from home.
I want to tell you what an amazing person & pet sitter Lauren is but I really don’t want to share her!! Lol!! I would totally recommend her for all your pet sitting needs. She takes care of everything- in a loving, caring & professional manner. Feel confident while you are away that your home & pets will have the highest quality care!
I have booked with Lauren multiple times! My dog absolutely adores her and gets so excited as we pull up to her house! She is also very responsive! Definitely will be booking with her again
Lauren and her family were absolutely amazing with my senior pug Louie! She provided loving and nurturing care for his multiple needs (i.e., arthritis, medications, cough) and provided consistent and thorough communication during my trip. I am very, very grateful for her care of my best little buddy and would definitely highly recommend her services!

Schedule
I work from home full-time, so I am an excellent candidate for all your pet care needs; my schedule is very flexible, and I am available throughout the week during the workday and during some evenings, as well.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a large, unfenced yard that is great for stretching your pup’s legs and potty breaks. They would never be out unsupervised. I also live in a quiet neighborhood that is great for walks.
A typical day
I have plenty of toys, treat puzzles and time to keep your active dogs entertained. We have a few parks with trails nearby if your dog is comfortable with car rides and potentially encountering other dogs. If that is not a good fit for your pup, we can get out to stretch our legs in my neighborhood, which is quiet and away from main roads for any dogs that may be sensitive to noise/over-stimulation.
