Information Lauren S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any health issues or medications that need to be administered, as well as behavioural or temperamental quirks I should be aware of.

A typical day

I'm highly active and in the case your pet is too, you'll come home to a tired and happy animal. I'm also content staying around the house and engaged with older dogs or dogs without as much energy.

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Lauren. I've raised several dogs and cats, including two senior dogs I adopted during a decade of employment in shelters and animal hospitals. I'm sensitive to a wide range of temperaments, experienced with behavioural challenges and health concerns or low mobility. I'm highly active and I love tiring out energetic animals. If your budget is limited, make me an offer!

We cannot say enough about how absolutely fantastic Lauren is. Our sweet girl stayed with her for a week and had the most happy, contented time in Lauren's care. It made us feel so good knowing that Poppy was so clearly safe and loved and felt so secure with Lauren. We received photos and updates from Lauren each day and each one made us feel deeply happy that Poppy was in her loving care. Excellent communication and care for our beloved little miss :) Thank you Lauren!

My first time using Rover, and could not have been more pleased with Lauren’s care and attention to Khione. She immediately made me feel at ease, and Khione felt so at home. I really appreciated the photos Lauren sent throughout Khione’s time there and will definitely be booking with Lauren in the future. Thank you for treating Khione like your own ♥️

We left our 3 year-old pom cross with Lauren for 9 days. This was the longest boarding we had ever done, and the first boarding in at least a year. Lauren sent us pictures and a message each day to let us know how he was doing. It helped to put us at ease and our pup seemed to enjoy his time with Lauren, with walks and lots of visits with other dogs.

This was our first Rover experience and Lauren was fantastic! She has excellent communication and I immediately felt at ease with our initial meet up. She sent us regular updates and pictures and definitely showed our energetic dog a great time with walks, cuddles and lots of ball throwing!! Thank you Lauren!

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.
