Safety, trust & environment

I tailor my services to the pet and the client’s home. With my flexible schedule, I can provide numerous leashed bathroom breaks for folks without a fenced yard. My goal is to make the pet and the client as comfortable as possible, so I will always send daily pictures of the animal during my stay.

Information Lauren R. would like to know about your pet

It is helpful to know if they get anxious when their human leaves (and potential ways to help with the anxiety). I also request their typical bathroom schedule so that I can recognize if they’re having unusual bowel movements.

A typical day

I love to learn what types of toys they like to play with or what types of walks they enjoy. I try to stick to your schedule with your pet as much as possible, including walk times and routes.

Remote worker who loves pets

Pet care experience

I grew up with animals as a kid, and I get a lot of joy from showering other people’s pets with love! I work remotely, so I’m able to stay with your pet all day and rarely have to leave for more than a few hours at a time. I take pride in making both you and your pet feel really comfortable, including sending lots of pet pictures during my stay!

Lauren was very patient with our senior dog while we were away for a weekend. She was great at following our instructions on how to take care of his many quirks, sent us lots of updates, and left our house very clean. We'll definitely be asking her to sit again!

Lauren takes great care of our animals, communicates frequently, and leaves our house nice and clean. Our animals love her and we are so thankful to her for providing excellent care!

Lauren was great with our two needy dogs and two cats!! Very communicative and trustworthy. Our dogs aren’t easy but she was up to the challenge!

Lauren was incredible! We have had our dogs for 6 years, and with the pandemic and previous WFH, have avoided needing a sitter until now. We got too complacent trading off to do things in the rare occurence needed, and it was time to trust a sitter with our 7yo shep mix and 5yo pitty mix so we could go do life out in the world together. Lauren was so communicative and responsible and put us entirely at ease the entire time. Gave us updates with photos to reassure us. Handled meds, even though one of ours is a little reluctant with them. And slept with them on our big comfy couch to ensure they felt the love. Trust her implicitly :) Cannot recommend her enough. Our world is opening up because of her and I am so immeasurably grateful!

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.
