Pet sitting is my full time job! I can be with your babies 24/7 if that is what’s needed. I never leave an animal for longer than 4 hours and it’s always pre discussed at meet and greets. I do part time Quickbooks remote work also, but if I do need to work any it will be on my laptop right from your home so I can still watch your fur babies.

Safety, trust & environment

When taking care of pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow any specific instructions/guidelines provided by the pet parents. Feeding schedules, exercise, medicine, etc. The environment with me is always safe and your pet is my number 1 priority at all times just like mine are when they are with me. Asking me questions and providing me with information is always the best way to make the experience more comfortable for all involved. I also love sending pictures and daily updates while you’re away so you can see how things are going!

Information Lauren R. would like to know about your pet

I prefer to know schedules and any special needs in advance. That will provide me with the opportunity to give them the best most stress free time while they are missing you!

A typical day

Playing with interactive toys, checking out all the new smells in the neighborhood. Dog parks are an option if you’re comfortable with that. Some activities will be the personal preference of the pet parents!

Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm and have been around all kinds of animals as well as different breeds of dogs. I have good knowledge of dog behavior and experience in handling. With a little bit of guidance from you as their parent, I can give them exactly what is needed while you are away.

Lauren was wonderful. Lots of pictures and updates and Mabel was thoroughly spoiled: time at the park, play dates with neighbors, napping on the patio in the sunshine, chasing butterflies, and plenty of treats. Maybe too spoiled, though? 🤣. We’re still reminding her that the paid staff has left, vacation is over, and the disciplinarians have returned. Nah. Let’s face it. You cannot actually over-spoil the dog. Five stars, Mabel Recommended.

I would highly recommend Lauren! She was excellent with communication, sent multiple pictures throughout everyday of my trip. The house was clean and tidy when we returned and the dogs were so happy. From the pictures she sent, I could tell my dogs were super comfortable with her. She took them on daily walks and gave medicine as instructed. Lauren was super professional and made sure my dogs needs were met. 10/10!

Lauren was the pivotal link in our plan for one of us to leave town five hours before the other returned to town. She was beyond perfect. She came over in advance to meet the dogs, took the initiative to re-confirm the day before, arrived exactly on time (which I learned while 30,000 feet high), and got everything done (not easy with our exact opposite dogs). Great, great job.

Lauren was so amazing! She stayed at our house for a week with our two dogs while we were out of the country. We’ve never felt so good about being away from our pups. Lauren sent so many amazing updates and photos through the day. Cannot recommend Lauren enough!

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.
