Pet care experience

Loves and Accept All Dogs!

If you are looking for someone to take the absolute best care of your pets and keep your home immaculate, please continue reading. I have an extensive background with dogs, especially my high-energy Jack Russells that I’ve raised since 8 weeks old. They have taught me so much! I love to spoil my pets and your pets, too. My Dad is a K-9 trainer and handler trainer for Homeland Security (specializing in explosives detection) and my sister works at a pet resort. We love dogs. It is in our blood. I have a lot of experience, patience, and understanding especially with puppy and senior care. I love meeting new pets and know they are our children because I treat mine like they’re my children, as well. Your pets and home will be in great hands with me. Additional pet rate discounts may be available upon request.

What can I say? I would give ten stars if possible! Lauren is the BEST! I relied on all of the reviews on Rover and I was so glad that I did. Our dog is a rescue and while he is sweet, he can be quirky at times so we wanted someone that understood quirky dogs. We hadn't left him in over two years because our sitter moved away and because our other dog, his sidekick, recently passed away from old age. Finding Lauren was a godsend. She was very communicative, amazing with Teddy, and the house was cleaner than we left it! We are so appreciative of her and the amazing job she did for us. We went away knowing our boy and our house were in excellent care and we didn't have to worry. The only downside is we think Teddy misses her more than he ever missed us, LOL! He adored her. We adore her too! Teddy has a new best friend and her name is Lauren. Thanks so much!!!

Lauren's care of my two elderly doggies and my cats was exceptional. She is truly a pro. She provided medications on time, including eye ointments and drops. She has a special touch with senior dogs and gave them lots of attention and snuggles. Lauren was fastidious in keeping our home tidy and cleaning up any pet accidents in the house. She even cleaned up after the dogs in the backyard! She kept us informed with texts through Rover. I am so grateful for her outstanding care and attention to all of the details.

Lauren took amazing care of our dog! She stayed at our house while we were out of the country for an entire week and gave us total peace of mind that Jack was getting wonderful care along with extra snuggles and playtime.

Lauren took great care of our pups and our home while we were away! She followed all of our instructions and gave them plenty of love. Even though one pup got sick towards the end of the stay Lauren was a great communicator and showed lots of care and compassion (pup is all better now :)

Schedule

I am currently working virtually so I will always be home with your pets. I have plenty of time to spoil, love, play with, and exercise your babies. I know how important it is to have the reassurance that someone is with your pets, pretty much, at all times. When I am away pet/house sitting, my dogs are staying with and being spoiled rotten by their grandparents.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety/trust is the most important part of being any parent. I will watch and protect your own as if they were my own. Also, I am extremely clean and will take care of your house just the same as I would mine. I’ve always believed, when in anyone’s home and once leaving, it should always look the same, like I was never there.

Pets

A typical day

I love to go for walks and do anything outside. I can always find a good lake to walk around, excellent hiking trails, or a dog beach wherever I am. If your pets are excited about going to new places, taking car rides, then they will have such a fun time with me. If they like to take it easy or just like simple walks around the neighborhood or staying in, we will do that, too. I play with them, sit on the floor, get down to their level, be silly, make up creative games to play, and give them lots and lots of attention. All animals are different and I am easily adaptable. All dogs and cats are welcome to sleep with me, as well.

Let me know if your pets have any special needs or preferences and I will certainly be attuned to whatever is needed for them to feel safe and happy. If medication needs to be administered or any other special attention is necessary, I can take care of it, as my girl, Lily Pad, is on meds every 12 hours so I understand the importance of good health for our pets. Also, I can be available for emergency sitting needs.
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.
