Safety, trust & environment

I am reliable and understand I am fortunate to have the opportunity to care for your dog. I will be respectful of your privacy and space, and will treat your dog and home as if I am caring for my own.

Information Lauren S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any unique preferences or needs for your dog— I want to provide the best care possible, make sure you are comfortable with my knowledge and familiarity of your pet, and ideally that your dog doesn’t even miss you while you’re away! :) I am also happy to work through rates/staying within a budget, so please feel free to message me regarding that.

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs for walks for exercise at their own pace— I ensure I am staying in tune with each dog and not pushing them or moving too slowly for their preferred rhythm, while also maintaining their safety. I love spending time outside, taking in my surroundings, and staying in the moment.

Pet care experience

Former doggy daycare employee, multi-year animal shelter volunteer, and pet sitter extraordinaire for friends and family. I love all animals big and small, but especially enjoy caring for dogs and cats. Not discriminatory toward any breed of dog.

I 100% would recommend Lauren and book her again! This was a last minute trip for me, and she did a great job with my pets. I was so surprised at how quickly my cats fell in love with her! She sent lots of pictures, and went above and beyond when my flight was delayed 8 hours by staying over longer than the booking. I stress so much about my pets when I leave them, but she really did put me at ease. Thank you!

Lo has been an incredible caregiver for my dog, Romeo. From the moment we met, it was clear that she truly loves animals and is dedicated to providing the best care. She always goes above and beyond to meet Ro’s needs and keeps us updated with pictures and messages. We feel completely at ease knowing Romeo is in such capable and loving hands. We highly recommend Lo to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet caregiver!

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.
