Experienced and trustworthy sitter!
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Lauren and I am an experienced animal caregiver. I have always had a passion for animals and have worked with animals professionally (mostly dogs) my entire adult life. In the last 11 years, I have gained experience via working & volunteering at local shelters, boarding facilities and dog training. I am comfortable and knowledgeable when it comes to the care of pets, and have experience in the areas of: reading dog body language, performing basic body checks and basic first aid care to most animals, giving any supplements or medications requested by owner, walking/working with reactive dogs, caring for grumpy cats, and I have experience with chickens, pigs, sugar gliders, and more. I am new to Rover, but not new to pets. I am happy to talk about my experience and services with any potential clients!
Reviews
Lauren is absolutely amazing! She was so wonderful in providing care for my senior dog and went above and beyond for my old pup! I would absolutely recommend her if you are looking for someone to love and care for your pet while you’re away!
Lauren was the absolute best dog sitter ever! She kept my 2 puppies for nearly 2 weeks. She is extremely communicative and helpful. I never had to worry about how they were doing or how they were being taken care of. I always got pictures and videos and she even helped with some training. I will 100% be going back to Lauren! Seriously couldn’t have asked for a better sitter ❤️
About Lauren Z.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
If I am caring for your pets in your home, I will follow any directions that are left and communicate effectively about care. I will treat them like my own. If your pet(s) will be staying at my home, they will be amongst 4 of our personal dogs, but can be separated in the house and yard if needed. We have 4 female dogs that are all friendly and neutral with other pups. The dogs can mingle with ours while they stay, or we can keep them apart in different areas of our house. If your dog is crate trained, bring the crate and/or dog bed. Dogs do much better with their own "den" overnight. I will be available all day to spend time with your animals while they are here, so activities can be discussed! Daily updates are always provided!

Information Lauren Z. would like to know about your pet
It is important for me to know about any health concerns or conditions your pet has before any care starts, so please provide as much information as possible. Information on your pets preferences and behavior when it comes to daily activities, other pets, new people, and new settings is extremely helpful as well. Please let me know how your pet does with other dogs and children if they are staying in my home. I am happy to work with the majority of special needs pets, and pets that are under socialized. I have knack for opening up those shy pets, too!
A typical day
I am very happy to do whatever it is with your dog(s) that make them tick! Whether that is sensory walks through the fallen autumn leaves, playing fetch in the park or our fenced yard, playing tug of war, or just snuggling in the family room. My own dog, Zara, loves to play with other friendly pups and is always up for a romp around the yard or a dual walk with a canine friend! I am also happy to accommodate activities for felines and other types of pets!

Availability
I am currently available 24 hours a day with only some minor scheduling restrictions that are flexible. I am happy to do drop ins for short term care depending on location/area, and we are always happy to welcome pups here for boarding. We have 4 dogs of our own that do fine with other dogs, but the dogs will be separated all of the time, or for some time if you would like the dogs to interact. Most of our pups sleep in kennels, and you are welcome to bring your pets crate/beds/etc. We have a large fenced backyard that is great for playing fetch, sniffing, and running around together. We are in a residential area thats great for walks, and love to take the dogs on hikes, when the weather permits!
