Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most secure, and I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, walks, and daily routines. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. In the event of an emergency, I will contact you immediately and follow your preferred veterinarian or emergency care instructions. I treat every home with respect and always leave it as I found it. For overnight stays, I require a clean, safe, and functional living environment so I can stay comfortably and focus fully on your pet’s care. For transparency and mutual trust, any indoor cameras or monitoring devices must be disclosed prior to booking. Cameras are welcome in common areas for home security, but I ask that private spaces used during overnight stays not be monitored. For safety reasons, I’m unable to walk large dogs that are reactive or aggressive toward people or other animals. Please share any leash reactivity or behavioral concerns in advance so we can ensure a safe and positive experience. Clear instructions, emergency contacts, and home access details are requested prior to each stay to ensure everything goes smoothly.

Information Lauren S. would like to know about your pet

To provide safe, consistent, and stress-free care, I ask that you share the following details before booking: • Your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and typical behavior • Any medical conditions, medications, allergies, or special care requirements • Reactivity or behavioral concerns, including reactivity to other dogs, people, children, bikes, or handling • Triggers, fears, anxieties, or past incidents (biting, snapping, escaping, guarding, etc.) • Leash manners, recall, and safety concerns during walks • How your pet typically does when left alone or overnight

A typical day

I love hanging out with all kinds of dogs from the super active ones to the couch potatoes. A typical day is centered around your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. Throughout the day, I provide plenty of companionship, playtime, and individualized attention, whether that’s going for a walk, spending time in the backyard, enjoying interactive toys, or relaxing together.

Dog lover and experienced sitter!

Pet care experience

I am a huge animal lover and have grown up around dogs. I understand that your pets are important members of your family, and I am committed to providing them with the love, care, and attention they deserve. I’ve been pet sitting since I was in high school but have been doing overnight stays for the past 7 years. The dogs I’ve watched have ranged from chihuahuas to greats danes and puppies to seniors. I’m comfortable taking care of multiple dogs and have experience with up to 7 dogs. I am also comfortable administering medication and following any specific instructions you may have for your pets. My services include feeding, providing fresh water, exercise, playtime, and of course, lots of cuddles and attention. I am also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well-cared for. I will ensure that your house will be nice and tidy when you return as well. I’m looking forward to meeting your furry friends!

Lauren saved me for a last minute drop in! She gave my dog his dinner and hung out with him for a little. He had a great time. Definitely would use Lauren again!

Lauren is such a sweetheart! She came over for our first meet & greet and walk & immediately my dog loved her! We talked through all the things for Gidget & then after Lauren took her on a walk to get a feel for how Gidget is and she came back a happy pup! Looking forward to having Lauren look after my girl with full confidence that she will be treated just like family ❤️

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.
