Corktown’s most reliable sitter!

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.

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.

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!

This was my first time using Rover and I was admittedly pretty nervous. Loryn made everything so easy and calmed any nerves I had. My dog is pretty high energy, anxious and requires a lot of attention. Loryn took it all in stride and made it seem like no big deal at all. She kept me updated the entire week and sent pictures and videos and left my house in great shape. I will not hesitate to book her again.

Loryn was wonderful! I’m an anxious dog mom and one of our weenies can struggle with new friends. He adored her! Photos and videos were great and I felt at ease. Most powerfully, there ended up being a completely freak basement fire at the house next door - complete with 6 engines and a 3am shocking wake up. Loryn handled it with ease - and was ready to get the babies out if needed! What joy to feel our fur buddies were so cared for and safe! Thank you!

Schedule

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.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs

Lauren can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
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?
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.
