Pet care experience

Can I pet that dog

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!!!!

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.

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!

Lauren was wonderful with my 3 beasts. Definitely felt that my dogs were well taken care of and given all the love and attention that they wanted. Updated with pictures and texts.

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Lauren did an amazing job caring for our senior dog, who requires daily medication, and handled everything with such care and attention. She was incredibly communicative, keeping us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Not only was our pup happy and well-cared for, but our home was also spotless when we returned. She went above and beyond to keep things clean and tidy, which we truly appreciated. On top of that, she was flexible with our schedule, making the entire experience stress-free. If you’re looking for a responsible, kind, and reliable pet sitter, we highly recommend Lauren! We will definitely be booking her again.

Lauren was an incredible last minute find for us! She was happy to do a few meet and greets to accommodate our sometimes nervous AmStaff, our dogs absolutely loved her and she treated our home like she would her own. She went above and beyond and even offered to shovel our driveway on her way out. She made our entire trip so much more enjoyable with her daily updates and photos and even left us a special little surprise upon our return. I'm so glad we found her and would not hesitate to work with her again. 12/10 worth every penny! Thanks Lauren!
