Pet care experience

Momma with a passion for pets!

Years of experience in the animal care industry including working in a high-end pet boarding & grooming facility for over 3 years & most recently working as a vet tech since July 2019. On Thanksgiving morning of last year I sustained an injury at work that required surgery to fix. Unfortunately this has resulted in not being able to return to such a high impact/physically demanding job. HOWEVER this has given me the opportunity to offer pet care FULL TIME & I am now able to work around any schedules/times with no worries about having to deny anyone services because of a 9-5 job. No friend is too big or too small- I have experience with them all! Every animal family member I meet holds a special place in my heart; I truly love them all as if they were my own. I pride myself in extensive knowledge of basic dog behavior; I was a dog trainer for almost 2 years. Working in boarding facilities, I have knowledge of how to care for senior pets, as well as pets with special needs. Working in a grooming department has taught me about many different dog breeds & how to handle each pet in a manner in which they feel safe & comfortable. As a veterinary technician I gained immense amounts of knowledge of different diseases, illnesses, treatments, nutrition, medication etc. I am able to administer medications & Subcutaneous fluids if necessary. With so many years of knowledge & experience caring for animals of all species (reptiles, fish, avians, small mammals, birds etc) I am confident in my ability to care for your animal babies as if they were my own! I can’t wait to meet my next new furry, feathered or scaly friend!!

Aunt Lauren is the best! She’s so good with my crew that when I come home they’re disappointed that I am back!

Lauren did a great job watching our animals and house for 2 weeks. Also she was flexible to stay extra when our flight got delayed. Sends lots of pictures.

We love Lauren. She is great with all my pets, even my moody dog. She spoils everyone and I always come home to happy and tired pets! 😀

I do not have breed or species restrictions; I get along with every kind of animal friend! I do ask that if your doggo has any quirks (dog aggressive, cage aggressive, food aggressive, doesn't like males/females, etc) that I am made aware ahead of time so that I may plan accordingly to your pet’s special needs!! Also, if your pet(s) have any allergies of any kind; I would like to know so that I can be cautious of what food & treats are OK to give.
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.
