Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Lauren an I am a senior at Sierra Nevada University majoring in Biology and Creative Writing, and minoring in Outdoor Adventure Leadership. I not only have had pets my entire life and have pet sitting experience, but I also worked at Pet Network Humane Society for 9 months as an Animal Caretaker. My responsibilities included: feeding, cleaning kennels, maintaining facility hygiene standards, communicating with customers, maintaining animal safety standards, administering medications, vaccines, & microchips, providing enrichment, and observing animals. In this job I had wide exposure to everything from raising newborn puppies and to handling health emergencies. I am Wilderness First Responder and CPR certified. I am an aspiring wildlife veterinarian, and extremely passionate about animals. It would truly be a joy to take care of your furry family!
Reviews
Lauren's an exceptionally conscientious critter keeper who accepts nothing less than exactly the best for your furry family member. She went over and above the minimums and clearly took great care to ensure everything was perfect upon our return. She worked previously at a pet rescue shelter and her personal care shows. Highly recommended for any Rover needs!
Lauren looked after our 3 quirky fur babies when we were away for a week. She was absolutely wonderful! I highly recommend her! She obviously loves animals and has a ton of knowledge and experience. Our usually shy and timid greyhound ran right up to Lauren and gave her a kiss the first time they met! This was the first time we left our recently adopted greyhound and I felt very comfortable leaving her in Lauren's care. Our 2 rescued kitties can be a bit high maintenance (a nice way of saying annoying) but, Lauren was great with them and wasn't phased at all by their, ahem, unique personalities. Lauren's love for animals, expertise and attention to detail make her the perfect pet sitter! I am already booking with her for our next trip!

Information Lauren R. would like to know about your pet
Before dog sitting I would just like to know if dogs are friendly with other dogs/kids, if they have any history of aggression/bite history, and if they have any illness or special accommodations I need to be aware of.
A typical day
I really love walking dogs along nature walking paths like the Mt. Vernon trail or Dyke Marsh Wildlife Preserve, but I am also up for long walks around the neighborhood. I am a big fan of throwing a ball for a dog to run some energy out, tug of war, or any game your pup loves!
