I’m currently looking for sits predominately through the summer time, as my schedule will likely change in the fall! As of right now I am in between jobs, so I can provide lots of flexibility in my day to fit your pets needs :).

Safety, trust & environment

I'm unable to host on my property at this time, but I am open to staying at your home to provide seamless care to your fur babies! Being away from their owner can be tough, but allowing them to stay in their home can help ease the transitional shock and allow some comfort through change. I aim to additionally help make this change as easy on them as possible with a lot of love and attention.

Information Lauren W. would like to know about your pet

I am happy to accommodate care to your pets needs and preferences, however I am not *as* experienced with administering medications. I am absolutely open to learning with detailed instructions!

A typical day

I enjoy getting out for at least one long walk, and more frequent potty-strolls if needed. Otherwise, I love games in the yard and snuggles as well!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I have 10+ years of experience with house sitting, pet setting, and nannying (even though you'd be on the wrong site for that one, ;) !) and as a result have several trusted references.

Lauren did a wonderful job taking care of our kitty and home while we were gone for a week. She gave our kitty all the love and care he needed and more, and took equally good care of our home. She was very communicative and responsive, and sent updates and photos while we were away. We came back to a very happy cat and very clean home. We look forward to having her back in the future, and highly recommend her for any of your cat/dog/house sitting needs.

Lauren was amazing with our pup Jojo while we were away! She gave us regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. Jojo was clearly loved and had a great time with Lauren! We’ll absolutely be booking with Lauren again—highly recommend!

Lauren was amazing to work with. Excellent communication and our dogs loved her. She left the house very clean and was willing to help with everything that was needed. We appreciate her and would recommend her to anyone.

When we found ourselves in a pinch with our previous pet sitter canceling 3 days before a multi-week vacation abroad, Lauren saved us. Not only did she offer to stay, she came by to meet us and our dog to sense if it would be a good fit for all involved. She was a great vibrational fit for us and we sensed immediately what a good person she was. During the say, she communicated well with us about our home and our dog. When we arrived home, we found our dog well and balanced, a clean and orderly house and plants thriving. We can't say enough how lucky you would be to have someone as responsible and compassionate as Lauren care for your animal and home. We'd ask her back in a heartbeat.

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.
