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.

A wonderful lady who I absolutely would use again if we came into town. Great with my pup and was absolutely on time and not a problem in the world. She also stepped in at the last minute when one of the other sitters got sick so we really appreciated her availability. I Have No Reservations to recommending her to anyone.

Lauren was amazing with our boys and communicated with us the entire time we were away. Would recommend her to anyone who loves their pets. Will absolutely be working with her again.

Lauren was on time and promptly communicated before and after her visit with Nelson. She was also very helpful with navigating changes to the walking schedule. I highly recommend Lauren and will schedule her in the future.

Lauren was very communicative during our time away and took good care of our husky, who can be a handful. Thanks 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.
