Pet care experience

My best friend was Buddy, a rescue I cared for from 2009 until 2023. I was a Mental Health Counselor a few days a week & have served others for many years as a Nurse. I grew up with dogs & cats, and honestly love them. I am well traveled, highly educated and learn something new everyday, especially from Buddy, my recent fur baby. I believe our pets are family, loving us without an agenda and they deserve that same love back. I’m mindful, compassionate, clean, fun & play well with others. It would be an honor to care for your pet, or pets. I will care for them the way you wish. Safety, love, time & attention offered gladly! Thank you for considering me as your family pet’s care giver and new friend.

Lauren is by far the best pet sitter for my Willow. I must say when she sent me pictures of my baby, I can see she was happy. Lauren you have a permanent client here. Thank you for loving my baby girl while I was away.

Lauren watched my 2 dogs in my home and was wonderful! She was very respectful of my home and took great care of my pups. I would not hesitate to use her again.

Lauren was fantastic! She stayed overnight at our home to care for our two dogs and did a wonderful job. Reliable, trustworthy, and great with the dogs. We would highly recommend them and will definitely book again

Lauren was great - arranging the visit was super easy (although the app isn’t all that great) Lauren’s service was!! She spent the entire day with our three dachshunds while we were at Busch Gardens. She sent a few updates and pics through out the day and we didn’t have to worry about them at all. Peace of mind allowed us to relax and enjoy our time together. Thank you Lauren. We will definitely call on you again our next visit!!

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.
