Highlights
Pet care experience
I love long walks along the street
I grew up in a dog-family so I've been taking care of dogs since I could walk. I regularly dog (and cat) sit for family and friends from college and church.
Cat care experience
Lawton also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I like to do a Meet & Greet with all my clients well before my care-taking in order to properly care for your furry friend. I cannot currently board/crate dogs in my home but am able to offer walking, feeding, and overnights.
Ratings and reviews
Lawton took such amazing care of my fur babies and my home while I was away on business. She was a wonderful communicator throughout, sending pictures, videos, and daily report cards that gave me peace of mind and reassurance that everyone was happy and well cared for. This was my first time using Rover, and Lawton made it such a great experience. I will definitely be a repeat customer and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and trustworthy pet sitter!
Lawton did a great job keeping us informed on how our dog was feeling and the steps she took to ensure he was as comfortable as possible during our extended trip. She adjusted her routine to accommodate his needs and made us all feel better!
Lawton is the best! My dogs love her and she is an excellent communicator and sends great pics. We are so fortunate to have found her!!
Super detailed with communication, shared pictures regularly, followed all instructions carefully
Unfortunately, we didn’t have the best experience. Lawton was scheduled to start on Friday at noon. At 5 pm, I received a message that she went on a float trip and lost her phone, which had the codes for entering my house. I left my home that morning at 7 am, which meant my dog was in the house alone for over 10 hours. Needless to say, the dog had soiled my carpet. I realize accidents happen, but I’m not sure how she expected to be at my house by noon if she was on a float trip. Definitely poor planning on her part. Also on Saturday, Lawton had a family emergency that evening, which I realize she could not help, but it added to more time for the dog alone in my house with fireworks going off outside. In summary, Lawton’s poor planning and unexpected circumstances led to my dog home alone a lot and a stained rug. Not an ideal experience.
Lawton took wonderful care of our dogs and our home while we were away for more than two weeks. From the very beginning, she was thoughtful, attentive, and communicative, sending us daily updates that gave us great peace of mind. One of our dogs is extremely shy and takes a long time to warm up to new people, but Lawton was incredibly patient and gentle with her. She clearly put in the extra effort to build trust and help her feel comfortable, which meant a lot to us. She also made sure both dogs got plenty of exercise through long walks and kept them engaged and stimulated throughout our trip. We are so grateful for the care she provided and would happily trust her with our pets again. Thank you, Lawton!

Schedule
I'm currently working part-time so my schedule is very flexible excluding Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday evenings. Down for morning/midday/evening walks and feeding or overnight stays.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsLawton can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- Please let me know of any special needs or preferences your pet has. I have experience administering oral, topical, and injectable medication. I'm stronger than I look and can handle dogs up to at least 70 lbs with ease. For walking, I aim for an average of ~1 mile/walk based on the feedback your dog gives me (energy, interest, temperature). If your dog needs more distance (or prefers to run instead of walk) just let me know.
