Pet care experience

Let me pet your pet!

I’ve had every pet you could think of. Dogs, cats, birds, snakes, hamsters. While I’d love to have a farm of my own, I live in an apartment and I’m unable to adopt every animal at the shelter. So let me care for your pet like it’s my own :) I will send you all the pictures you ask for and make sure to always keep you updated when you ask. I had a rescue German shepherd growing up who had major behavioral/trust issues with strangers and other dogs, so I’m familiar with behavioral issues and willing to work with pets who may not want me in their space.

Safety, trust & environment

I will always make sure your dog is let out at reasonable increments when I am home, and more than willing to send pictures whenever they are requested! If your dog is crate trained, I will never let them go too long without the attention they deserve.

Lauren was so sweet with Riley, really communicative, and such a great help. Would absolutely recommend Lauren to anyone.

We had a fantastic experience with this in home overnight visit! Lauren arrived exactly on time, which gave us total peace of mind. We loved getting her photo updates while we were away, and they left everything perfectly clean and tidy. Our pup was so well taken care of—we will definitely be booking Lauren again!

Schedule

I live in South Austin and work downtown. I’m in my office 8:00am to 5:00pm on Monday and Tuesday, and can work from your home Wednesday-Friday. My weekends usually include a trip to the gym and finishing up errands that I didn’t complete during the week, so I’m available for most hours on Saturdays and Sundays to spend with your pet(s).

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Lauren can host up to 6 drop-ins per day
I’d like to know how they will react to me entering their house as a stranger, and definitely correct feeding times/amounts. My job is to stick to their routine as much as I can, and I’m willing to move things around in my own life to make sure that happens.
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.
