Safety, trust & environment
SAFETY & TRUST 🐾 When caring for your pet in your home, I follow your instructions closely so everything feels familiar and secure. My background and training with The Guide Dogs has taught me to stay calm, observant, and consistent. You will receive lots of updates and photos via Rover.
Information Lauren W. would like to know about your pet
It’s really helpful to know about your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs. Please let me know about feeding times, medication, walking preferences, fears, triggers, or quirks – whether your dog is reactive, nervous around traffic, or loves a particular route, or if your cat is shy, chatty, or prefers space. The more I know, the better I can match your pet’s normal rhythm and make their time with me feel familiar and comfortable.
A typical day
I take time to build trust, notice subtle cues, and adapt to each dog’s personality and needs. I genuinely love being outdoors and enjoy an active walk in all weather, so your dog will always get a proper outing. A drop-in visit is centred entirely around your pet’s needs, energy levels, and routine. I follow your instructions carefully while also using my experience to read their body language and adjust accordingly. Some pets want an active play session, others prefer gentle company, reassurance, or simply someone calm nearby while you’re away.

Pet care experience
Hello and thank you for visiting my Rover profile👋 ⠀ I have hands-on experience with The Guide Dogs, having boarded dogs during their formal training. That experience taught me to be calm, consistent, and highly attuned to canine behaviour. ⠀ WHY CHOOSE ME 🐾 I’m confident with dogs of all sizes and temperaments - from energetic, playful pups to more sensitive or steady older souls. I understand how to read canine body language and provide clear, calm guidance so dogs feel safe and secure. ⠀ STANDARD WALKS - 45 MINUTES 🐾 Please note: my standard walk is actually 45 minutes (Rover only offers 30 or 60-minute booking options), so your dog will get a 45 minute walk with me, not the advertised 30 minutes. Please see my reviews to hear from other pet owners. ⠀ MEET AND GREET 🐾 I always recommend a meet and greet before a first booking. This allows us to discuss your pet’s routine, personality, and any specific requirements, while giving your pet the chance to get to know me. It ensures we’re the right fit and that you can leave with complete peace of mind.
Reviews
We were so glad to have Lauren caring for our cats while we were away for a few days. She called in twice a day to make sure Millie and Gizmo were fed and had lots of cuddles and playtime. We definitely recommend her!
Lauren was absolutely amazing, my cats were so comfortable with her and I loved all the pics and videos I received of them while I was away. She really went above and beyond, I would highly recommend!! Thank you so much 🥰
Lauren took care of our cat whilst we were away and she was wonderful. She sent lots of pictures each day and took very good care of him.
Left my dog and a cat in Lauren's care for 2 days. Will do it again with no hesitation: 120% care for our house and both a can and a dog, they didn't even seem to miss us much. I received tons of pictures. Highly recommended!!!
