“Thanks so much for walking her. She was found as a stray and I think she thinks someone’s coming to take her away from us. She is a sweet pup. I will definitely be calling you to walk her again. Thanks again.”

“This was our first experience with Rover and every reservation about seeking care for our pets from someone other than a trusted family/ friend was put at ease by Lauren. She was absolutely wonderful! We needed someone last minute for the Fourth of July week to care for our two dogs and she responded to our request so quickly, excited and willing to care for our boys. She instantly clicked with our dogs and she handled absolutely every obstacle while we were away. Lauren updated us with all the happenings of her drop ins and we loved the videos / pictures of our dogs enjoying theirselves! She absolutely made up for all the love they were missing out on while we were gone. Lauren definitely exceeded our expectations and I am so thankful! If you want someone trustworthy and able to handle all the dog silliness while you have a little get away we highly recommend her!”
