Dog lover with a yard

Pet care experience

I have owned and loved dogs my entire life, and would be so excited to meet and help care for yours while you're away! The apartment takes up the entire ground floor of a house. It's a 2.5 bedroom with a fenced backyard, so your dog will have plenty of room. There are a few parks nearby, including one with a nice dog run. The neighborhood is pet-friendly, and your pup is guaranteed to meet other furry friends during walks in this neighborhood! Sitting your dog would be great- you can rest easy knowing your furry friend is in a loving home, and my apartment will be made happier with a dog companion! :) ****Please note: On Fridays, I am only available after 6pm. Drop-off (or pick-up, if you prefer) must happen after that time. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Lauren was amazing. I am truly baffled by any negative reviews. I have a special needs dog who has a lot of allergies and severe separation anxiety. He literally cannot be left alone. Lauren did a meet and greet at a dog park ( in the freezing cold) and was super patient with all my questions. She completely understood my worries and assured me all would be ok. As soon as I dropped him off I got pictures to ease my mind. The majority of the pictures were of him snuggled in her lap! I will certainly use Lauren again and highly recommend her to all Rover users.

It is unfortunate that some people, Lauren in particular use Rover as a way to earn revenue but seem to be disconnected from the attention puppies need. Services should consist of walking, feeding and WATCHING our pride and joy. It is clear that Lauren did not look after my dog. I received one picture for the 3 days that my dog was with her. Every other sitter has sent me multiple photos. Most of my dog's food was returned to me without any communication that he did not eat. The day of the pick up. Lauren texted me telling me her boyfriend will be there to give me my dog because she (the person paid to watch my dog had to go to an appointment). There was no prior knowledge of this. At pick-up I was told that my dog chewed her sofa and was shown a picture of a small hold in a microfiber sofa. No heads up that this occurred, but what is most alarming is this reflection: Where was Lauren when this occurred? This could have been an electric socket! As dog owners there are chew toys that puppies naturally need. The instructions clearly requires owners to watch their puppies/dogs while they play. How can you be a dog sitter and not understand what is required? It is more than just having space to accommodate while you do whatever else. If you have activities that will hold your attention why not put the dog in a crate? I will never use Lauren's services again. She actually had the audacity to ask me to pay for her sofa after SHE did not meet the service expectations that she states she delivers in her advertisement of services. Another example of people going into professions just for income and without passion. Good luck using her, I will never!

Lauren is awesome. Nala was a little excited to meet a new face and Lauren was so sweet and patient with her. She sent me plenty of puppy updates during and after their walk. I will definitely use her again.

Loved the photos and it seemed like Cosmo had a great time away! Lauren was great with communicating everything and I felt very reassured during his stay. Thanks Lauren!

Information Lauren T. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences (though I do have soft spots for Beagles, Pugs, French Bulldogs, and Dachshunds). To make your dog's stay as nice as possible, I do like to know about the dog's eating habits (times, rules on human food, treating), and any special rules (no going on furniture, special commands).

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Living near Washington Park means I can take your dog on nice long tree-lined walks daily. If you have a more active dog, we can walk down to Hoboken for a stroll along Frank Sinatra Drive. If your dog loves to run, I am happy to take him out for a jog according to your normal schedule. Your dog's sleeping arrangement That depends on your preference! If your dog has a beloved dog bed, I am more than happy to accommodate that. If your dog is used to sleeping in a bed, that's ok too!
