Safety, trust & environment

I make sure your pets and property are taken care of as well as you would. I take all your safety measures seriously and ensure I'll repeat them exactly as you showed me. If a problem should arise, I am dedicated to consistent communication.

Information Lauren R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any "special" and/or special needs, behaviors, or habits. It’s especially helpful to know which commands and terminology your dog is used to in order to remain consistent and set them up for success! Notes and instructions are always welcome and helpful!

A typical day

I really like to try and be imitative of the type of day they typically would have as much as possible. Every pet loves their routine, even if it's different for everyone in the household. I'll adopt that routine and throw in anything else they love if you let me know!

Pet care experience

Hi! I am 39 years old and moved to Michigan two years ago! I have over 20 years of experience caring for dozens of dogs and cats, including 5 years on Rover, as well as 3 years volunteering at One Tail at a Time, a local dog rescue in Chicago. I've cared for dogs and cats from 8 weeks old, up until they've reached the rainbow. Repeat clients who become best friends are my favorite, but I am also happy to drop in and help for a short or last-minute absence. I find it so rewarding when I can make dogs feel as comfortable with me as they are with you!

Lauren was awesome with our dog, Frankie. He’s a little bit of a weirdo and really big so it can be hard to find someone to love on him the way he deserves but Lauren rose to the occasion! We came home to a clean house and a happy dog. So glad we found her!

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.
