Pet Sitting Until I’m a Dog Mama

Hi there! I just moved back to Nashville after being gone for over a decade. I can't wait to explore Nashville’s growth through your dog’s eyes. I spent a year in DC, five and a half years in Shanghai, studied abroad in Italy for a year, and graduated from Pepperdine University in California. Since high school I've pet sat for families on vacation and have lots of experience with several breeds, namely: Goldens, Samoyeds, Goldendoodles, Labradors, Shih Tzus, Miniature Schnauzers and Schnoodles. Of course I'm not limited to working with these breeds and enjoy getting to know new types of dogs and their personalities. I've been told by friends and family with dogs that I "have good dog energy" which is a compliment I'm extremely proud of. During walks I tend to pace myself at about 3-3.5 mph, but don't mind speeding up for extremely energetic dogs or slowing down to match dogs that like to take their time and smell the roses.

Lauren was fantastic. Great communication, easy to coordinate with, provided many updates and photos. She was able to care for my older, scared cat with grace. Very easy to book last minute as well. Would recommend her to anyone.

It was so great having Lauren watch Layla for the first time. She was very communicative and kept me posted with daily pictures and updates while I was gone. When I came back the house was spotless and made it very easy to come back home and just relax without a worry. Would recommend Lauren to anyone and look forward to having her watch Layla again!

Lauren went above and beyond to make sure our senior dog was well cared for while we were away. I would happily have her watch our dogs again.

Lauren is a fantastic sitter! She is so organized and thorough in her planning and coordination for boarding. She gave me daily updates, pictures and videos of my cat and let me know if there were any changes in his eating habits or behaviors. Will definitely be using her again and would 100% recommend!

Pets

A typical day

If the owner lives near a dog park and their dog plays well with others, we’ll spend some time there. Otherwise we’ll get our heart rates up if they’re energetic, or we can amble along and get some vitamins D in.

Cats
Lauren can host up to 3 pets per night
I don't mind a meet and greet before pet sitting. I know I'd have a piece of mind knowing that someone has read through my "Pet Sitter's Guide to Typhoon (my cat)." Does your dog get along with other animals? Does your dog tug on the leash? Is your dog vocal? Does your dog have triggers? Separation anxiety?
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.
