I live in Corktown so it’ll be no problem for me to balance staying with your pet and my daily schedule. I work from home and my only daily obligations until end of May is picking up kids from school and making sure my senior dog is taken care of. Important to know before booking: Because I only watch pets in the Corktown area I do not stay overnight. Every booking can be different but generally a schedule would look like this: 1st check in between 6am-8am to let them out to potty roughly 10-15 mins. 8am-12pm hanging out with your pet 4pm-6pm hanging out with your pet 8pm-10pm hanging out with your pet.

Safety, trust & environment

At a client's home their dogs will feel like they haven't even left! I understand the importance of a routine and normality to a dog's life and will do my best to replicate it so the dog feels happy, loved, and stress free.

Information Lauren W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your dog's temperament around other dogs and how they tend to handle interactions with people and other animals. Also, do they like treats?

A typical day

During a drop in visit I will take the dog out on a brisk walk or play in the yard so they can get some exercise and engagement while taking a potty break. They will also get fed (if needed) and the owner will receive fun photos. During a house sitting I will take them out on one to two longer walks/day and explore Detroit if their owners allow.

Corktown’s most reliable sitter!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Loryn and just moved to Detroit from North Carolina. I have years of being around Pit Bulls and caring for the dogs of my friends and family back in NC. I have two pit bulls myself each with different personalities and temperaments. My top priorities when taking care of dogs are making sure they are safe and comfortable.

Lauren was amazing! I needed help last minute and she was very accommodating. My cats were happy and we got lots of pictures, which I loved. She made the process very easy and we will be rebooking! Thank you!! :)

Lauren is an amazing house sitter. Our original plan was for her to only be around during the day, but while I was gone my pup had some stomach issues and Lauren made sure to stay with her nearly 24/7 while I was away. 10/10, can’t recommend Lauren enough!!!

My cat usually becomes a little anxious when I’m away from home for more than a day but she loved Lauren so much that there was no anxiety detected when I got home. Lauren took really great care of my cat and sent cute pictures of her everyday. She was extremely kind and helpful. She went above and beyond and I would highly recommend her as a sitter! Thanks for everything, Lauren!

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.
