Highlights
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! 🐶 🐱

Ratings and reviews
Had a last minute cancellation and Lauren came to our rescue, replying to our request super quickly and being very flexible. Took amazing care of our kitties and was excellent in every way, would absolutely recommend!
Lauren is a true gem! Prince was cared for beautifully and Lauren knew exactly how to work with him as he can be nervous when I leave. Thank you so much! 👌👏
Lauren was absolutely incredible with our three cats! They warmed up to her so quickly and she took really good care of them! She was great about giving daily updates with pictures. This was our first trip away since moving into a new home, so Lauren gave us so much peace of mind knowing our babies were in good hands. The cats especially loved her! 10/10 would recommend her for top quality pet sitting!! :)
Best experience I've had so far on Rover! Could not recommend her more. Leaving your dogs with someone new can be hard but she took such good care of them. Great communication. 11/10!!!
Lauren is fantastic with our two cats! She is easy to communicate with, sends us regular updates and photos, and clearly gives them lots of love and attention while we are away. Our cats are always happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we get home. Highly recommend Lauren for anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter, we’ll definitely be booking her again!
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!

Schedule
I work remotely and can dedicate most of my time hanging out with your fur babies! I’m able to stay in your home full time. I am child free and currently do not have a dog or cat.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Currently, I am able to house sit and only offering boarding in my home on a case by case basis. You let me know what your fur baby needs and I have it handled! They will get my all my attention, cuddles, and play time.
A typical day
All fur babies can look forward to a loving and fun environment. They can enjoy everything from walks, playing, lots of cuddles, engagement with tricks or puzzles, and more. I will meet your pet at their energy level.
