Pet care experience

I am an Animal Welfare Professional of more than 9 years now. I have handled shy/fearful/fractious/elderly/diabetic & more cats, shy/anxious/reactive/high-energy & more dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, rats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, fish, chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, prairie dogs, and probably more critters that I'm forgetting! I also have experience medicating, injecting, quarantining, and cleaning for disease control and prevention. I am a cat mama! I've had my senior lady since she was a month old, and now she's 12! I also foster kittens!

Lauren took such great care of my two dogs and two cats for 6 days and nights while I was away at my daughters wedding out of state. I didn’t have to worry about them at all! She sent me daily pictures and updates. My animals were calm and happy when I arrived home and my litter boxes were spotless! Lauren is a true blessing and she would be my first call for pet sitting in the future!

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.
