Highlights
Pet care experience
Vet Tech Turned Pet Sitter!
I am a veterinary technician with over 3 years of experience, and have recently pivoted my focus from nursing duties at a small veterinary hospital to caring for pets on Rover. With me, you will not only be guaranteed quality pet care, but also reliable communication that gives you peace of mind. I can keenly perceive the signs of potential distress in animals, and I know what to do in cases of emergency or illness. Additionally, I absolutely love any and all pets. I am experienced with administering medication (both oral and injectable), special needs care, senior care, puppy care, kitten care, and everything in between. Due to my advanced skills, you will notice that my rate is a bit higher than other sitters. However, you will be receiving the additional skills and medical/behavioral knowledge that most sitters don't have.

Safety, trust & environment
I have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats and am comfortable working with pets of different ages, temperaments, and care needs. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walks, potty breaks, enrichment, and household routines so your pet’s schedule can remain as consistent as possible while you’re gone.
Ratings and reviews
Lauren was a pleasure to work with and took amazing care of our anxious pup Luna. She was extremely communicative and made sure to update us throughout the stay. She even offered to make arrangements to make sure Luna was comfortable in a new environment. I highly recommend Lauren to watch your pet as she would provide the highest quality of care!
Lauren looked after my dog for two days while we were at Disneyland. She was flexible with drop off and pick up and provided lots of updates. I felt confident that Rags was in good hands!
Lauren took fantastic care of Richter, a senior doggo.
We really appreciate Lauren’s care of Jax. She was patient and understanding and kept us informed. I highly recommend Lauren to care for your pet.
I could not have asked for more thoughtful and caring pet sitter while I took the family to Disneyland for the day. I’ll definitely book with Lauren the next time I’m I town and need someone to watch my fur baby.
Big thanks to Lauren for watching over our pups recently, she was fantastic! Right from the start, Lauren kept us in the loop with updates, making us feel totally at ease. It's clear she's got a magic touch with animals. Our dogs were all about her, especially Sunflower, who absolutely adored playing with Lauren's cats. Lauren didn't just keep them entertained; she made sure they were safe, comfortable, and well-cared for, which meant the world to us. Our dogs came back happy and worn out from all the fun. Lauren's updates and snapshots were a highlight, showing just how much joy our pets were having. Huge shoutout to Lauren for her incredible care. Sunflower is already missing those kitty pals! If you need a pet sitter who's attentive and genuinely caring, Lauren's your go-to. Can’t wait for next time!

Schedule
I work full time as a freelancer remotely, so I can provide pet care exclusively in your pet’s own home, allowing them to stay comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment while you’re away. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, medication administration, and other care based on your pet’s normal routine. For pets who need a little extra attention, I also offer special-needs care for an extra fee. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets and animals with medical or mobility needs, including administering medications and providing more involved care. When booking, please let me know about your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, medications, temperament, exercise needs, and any medical or behavioral concerns I should be aware of. Please also include how frequently you would like me to be in your home (24/7 vs part time) and what you would like completed during each visit. Everyone’s pet is different, and cost will adjust according to needs. Please note: Special-needs care may include an additional $25 per day depending on the level of care required. This may apply to pets who are diabetic, have mobility limitations, require more involved medication administration, or otherwise need additional care beyond a standard visit.
