I wish I could always be with dogs!
Pet care experience
I have house sat multiple times for the same families, which included care for both dogs and cats. One family had ill animals that needed special pills and diets, while the other had a puppy who needed walks to remain calm. I follow the instructions of the owners as best I can, and attempt to give the animals as much love and attention as I can offer. I was paid professionally to care for animals when I worked as a personal assistant for three years. I know that it can be hard work to care for animals, but I am willing to put forth the effort for them. I have had and cared for them all of my life, and I look forward to caring for yours!
Reviews
Lauren did a great job! She kept me updated with photos and messages while I was away. My dogs loved her and I would definitely book her again!
Lauren was awesome. We hate leaving our dog but she sent us pictures and it was clear that he was happy and loved ❤️
Lauren was fantastic. Communicated well and sent pics throughout. Clearly loves dogs. Jude loved her.
Lauren did a great job watching our pups for us. She did an excellent job of communicating and sharing pics! I would not hesitate to use Lauren again. We were very pleased with her!
About Lauren R.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Petsitting: When staying at a client's home, I keep the area tidy and try to spend more time with the pet than not. When I am not at work, I would be able to walk, play, and cuddle to their heart's content. If I have social plans, I adjust them to the pets needs so they are not left alone for too long. Dogwalking & Drop-Ins: After walking/playing with/checking on your pup, I would ensure they have adequate water and a treat, then give them some time to rest. Once I've ensured they've cooled down, I would let them out once more before topping off their water and leaving them for a nap. During the work weeks, walks would be at noon and after 5pm, but weekends are flexible.

Information Lauren R. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences. I would like to know if there are any special needs for a dog before sitting them, simply to be prepared.
A typical day
If I am in the surrounding area of Rapid City, I do some research to find the right parks or areas for your dog to stretch their legs. At your home, I can impress your pups with my skills in tug of war and fetch. If they prefer to lounge, I am quite adept at relaxation. Either or works for me!

Availability
I work full time, but can be flexible with my lunch break. At the least, I could drop in three times a day or stay with them in the evenings. On weekends, if I am petsitting or dropping in, your pup or cat would be my highest priority and my schedule is much more flexible.
