Pet care experience

Life goals: Befriend all pets!

Animals have always been my people. 🐾 I've spent over 20 years as a devoted pet owner, including my two wonderful Australian Shepherds. I am so grateful to have had them in my life to love and spoil! Ella and Maddie were well traveled too, even visiting the Grand Canyon and Yosemite! All my friends and family rely on me to take care of their pets and homes while they are away and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Early in my career, I spent five years as a Pet Care Manager at PetSmart, caring daily for all the animals, keeping them healthy and happy until we helped pair them with their forever homes. I'm very experienced with all levels of pet care, including special needs that require medications, injections, complex dietary routines, and reinforcing training. I am ready to handle whatever your pet needs, especially extra play time and cuddles. I am equally obsessed with all dogs and cats, and care for all breeds, sizes, and ages, from puppies and kittens through their senior years. I’m also experienced caring for birds, fish, reptiles, and small pets. 🐱🐰🐠 🐦🦎 I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so your babies get my attention all day! As a longtime Rover client myself, I know exactly what you're looking for when you're searching for the right sitter: someone experienced, trustworthy, and who will treat your animals like their own. That's a promise I take seriously. I'm currently welcoming new clients in the Elk Grove area and would love to meet you and your crew. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! 🐶 🐱

Lauren has cared for my 2 cats and 2 guinea pigs a few times now, and there's no question that she adores them! In addition to loving care, she keeps things tidy, cleans up hairballs, and sends us pictures each visit. One of my cats has to have meds twice a day - not only is Lauren better than I am at getting her to take the meds, she even has helped prep meds for future doses. Once when I was traveling I asked her to take that cat to the Emergency vet and she did an amazing job not just wrangling the cat, but also keeping me in the loop so that I could talk to the vet and make decisions. Way above and beyond. Lauren is an amazing petsitter and will care for your pets like they're her own!
