Safety, trust & environment

I have been a pet sitter and baby sitter for about 20 years now. In a professional role, I manage complex and dynamic operations and oversee a staff of up to 15. I have a high standard of operation for myself in all I do- this includes pet care. I am very thorough with understanding and performing duties. Clear communication is very important to me so you can expect me to reach out with any questions or updates on your furry friend. I am incredibly respectful going into anyone else’s home and keep to myself and respect your space.

Information Lauren P. would like to know about your pet

Happy to work with dogs of any temperament, please give me a heads up if there are any triggers or things to be aware of with your pet!

A typical day

Enriching and exciting for them!! Our experience together can be tailored to their preferences (walks vs fetch etc). Caring for a dog means making sure they’re happy, too!!

Pet care experience

The Venn diagram of “my seasonal work lifestyle leaves me with time in the winter” “having ‘animal lover’ as a personality trait” and “folks needing pet care around the holidays” is a circle. Hello folks, I’m Lauren - park ranger and pet lover! If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet who has the love for animals of Eliza Thornberry and also the responsibility, attention to detail and reliability of Leslie Knope- look no further! My level of responsibility/reliability in congruence with my love of & experience with pets makes me a great option for pet sitter, but my schedule makes me stand out. As of right now I have almost totally free availability for the holiday season (and beyond a bit). Feed, brush, walk, fetch, deep cleaning pet stuff (food or water bowl, etc) whatever you & they need- I’m your person!! Please reach out if you think I would be a good fit for your furry friend, I look forward to talking with you (even more excited about meeting your pet) *2 night minimum for holiday bookings* I DONT TOTALLY UNDERSTAND HOW TO SET ROVER PRICING/RATES. PLEASE REACH OUT AND WE CAN FIGURE OUT PRICE FOR SERVICES NEEDED!!!!

We cannot say enough good things about Lauren! She took incredible care of our dogs, and it was so clear from the moment we got home how loved and well cared for they were. Our pups absolutely adore her — which says everything. We are so grateful for Lauren and will absolutely be booking her again and again. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾💕

Lauren took great care of our pups during her visit, and was very accommodating of our senior dog, who needed some extra attention due to some medical issues. She communicated everything clearly and sent instant updates as to how our dogs were doing while we were away. We would highly recommend her!

Lauren is Beyond Fantastic! She took Excellent care of my 3 dogs. I just moved to this area and was worried about finding a new sitter. No worries needed! If I had a guest house, I would offer her a well paid permanent job! She is a wonderful person and a wonderful sitter/walker!

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.
