Pet care experience

Poodle with a mohawk mom

What sets me apart is my calm, intuitive approach to pet care. I’m the proud human of a poodle with a mohawk and two cats, so I’m fluent in both high-energy zoomies and quiet companionship. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that’s patient walks, extra reassurance for seniors, or playful engagement for younger pups. I’m especially great with senior pets, shy animals, and pets who need a steady, gentle presence. I don’t rush visits, I don’t overwhelm, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own pack—because that’s how I’d want mine cared for.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible, whether in my home or in my client’s home. For drop-in visits and walks, I make sure pets are fed, walked, and given plenty of attention and affection, along with any enrichment they enjoy. I pay close attention to safety, cleanliness, and each pet’s comfort, and I always take time to observe their behavior and needs so they feel secure, calm, and well cared for while their owners are away.

Lauren responded quickly and was very accommodating for our short notice request. We loved the communication throughout the day including photos of our happy dogs. We highly recommend!

Lauren was absolutely fantastic with my two dogs Hank and Alice. She was very professional and always on time. I really enjoyed the fact that she took the time to take photos of her visit and through the pictures I could see that she was so caring and attentive, she showed them a lot of love and they couldn’t wait to see her. I would strongly recommend Lauren for any dog sitting needs you might have.

We are super pleased with Lauren’s time with our very active husky, Nova! Lauren is very professional and prompt everyday. Nova goes bananas when she sees her coming down the driveway! Lauren has a very kind and gentle way of dealing with our high energy fur baby .

Lauren has the kindest and sweetest heart, especially when it comes to animals. She takes care of them as if they were her very own spoiled and loved fur babies. She's committed and will go out of her way to make sure they're safe and well cared for. I recommend her for taking care of yours while you're away and can't, you won't have to worry about them.

Schedule

Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around walks and drop-in visits, allowing plenty of time for each pet so they’re never rushed. Caring for my own dog and cats every day keeps me consistent, attentive, and flexible, and I plan client visits thoughtfully to ensure reliable, calm, and focused care.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Lauren can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
It’s important for me to know your pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs ahead of time, including feeding schedules, medications, behavioral quirks, and preferences. I also like to know how your pet responds to new people, other animals, and changes in routine so I can provide care that feels familiar, safe, and stress-free.
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.
