Pet care experience

Passionate about your Pups!

Hello! My name is Lauren and I am so excited to have the opportunity to watch your favorite companion! I have been taking care of my dog and other's as well for about 16 years. Their safety and happiness is my number one priority. I will give your animal all the attention and care they deserve while their owners are away! As a former Zookeeper and current Veterinary Assistant, I know the hard work and dedication it takes to take care of animals of all sizes and shapes. I currently have three French Bulldogs that get along with any dog and are always down for a puppy play date. If you are looking for dog boarding in my home your pet must be pet friendly because of this, up to date on vaccines, and a meet and greet will be required before hand. If you are only looking for drop in visits or dog walking they will stay home and a meet and greet will not be required. If you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to contact me. I hope I can meet your favorite family member soon!

Lauren was great! She was so caring towards Finn like he was her own. All I needed her to do was to help him get some energy out mid day but she went the extra mile and did some enrichment and training activities with him since I had mentioned off hand that I was working on teaching him to sit, lay down, stay and come. Finn loved having Laurens dog Kenai to play with too. This especially helped with Finns socialization. Thanks so much lauren! Ill definitely be using her in the future.

House Sitting • Jul 22, 2016

Lauren and Stella had a blast together! Lauren was extremely prompt and made me feel instantly at ease leaving her to housesit and watch my furry best friend for the evening. She sent me photos throughout the evening to reassure me that all was well and Stella was having a blast. When I got home, Stella was laying in her bed snuggled up next to Lauren like they were best pals. I would recommend Lauren to anyone and will definitely be having her hang out with Stella again.

Lauren is a very responsible and trustworthy person! She has a lot of experience working with animals and she takes great care of people's pets. I would leave my dog with her anytime.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or triggers that need to be taken into account. I am also well versed in giving any and all types of medication to animals so please inform of that as well. I also ask that your animal is up to date on vaccines as well as current on flea, heartworm, and tick prevention if they are going to be in my house for any reason.
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.
