I am back at school which means I would be working 7:30-3:00 during the week. I can stop by in the morning and afternoon for drop-in visits. I can also stay over at homes as well as have animals in my home. My husband works from home 3 days a week so he loves to help :) They will get all the loving.

Information Lauren S. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed preferences. I have watched my cousins Yorkie, my neighbors Pit Bull, as well as our family friends St. Bernard, so it seems like I have watched them all!

A typical day

I usually walk around my neighborhood and down the street from my house. There is a big dog park to play in near my house. If the dog likes car rides, I will often go to Gifford Pinchot Park to go hiking or John Rudy Park as well if allowed.

Will love your baby as my own 🥰

Pet care experience

I am a speech language pathologist that works in a school setting. I will have my summers off which gives me extra time to love on your fur baby. We love to stay active, be outside, and explore any chance we get. I currently have a black lab who is 9 years old. My friends family owns a dog kennel in Clarion, PA so while I was in college I often took care of the kennel for her. I also have a great family friend who owns Laurel Hill Kennels in Hanover, PA who I have worked with as well. I was a volunteer at the Adams County Animal Shelter and have dealt with many different breeds of dogs as well as multiple cats. I also seem to be the go to pet sitter in my neighborhood, and have watched my neighbors dogs ever since we moved in. I never had a dog growing up so now that I have my own and have access to helping others with theirs, I will do anything to help!! My husband also works from home 3 days a week so he loves to spend time with the animals during the day which is so very helpful. We’ve watched dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, and ducks!! My dog is the most east going dog and loves to be friends with everyone so she will be very chill. My cat does her own thing and is super simple. I will treat your home with the trust of my own home.

Lauren was the perfect person to watch our pups, each visit was filled with love and attention for both of our dogs. She gave us updates and was very flexible when it came to our schedule. We will be using Lauren again! Thank you!

Outstanding service which includes comprehensive description of on-site visit to include pictures and descriptions of any problems which arose. Also, understood and executed all directions and guidance provided. I would have a hard time going to someone else.

We couldn’t be more grateful for Lauren and Doug while we’re away on vacation. Knowing our home and pets are in such caring, capable hands truly puts our minds at ease. It’s clear they treat everything as if it were their own, and we love getting updates that show just how happy and relaxed everyone is. It feels like our pets are having their own little vacation playing with Nala! We highly recommend Lauren and Doug to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive sitters.

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.
