Ive been gifted with a job that only requires me to work weekends so I am very flexible. I can pretty much work with any schedule given prior notice.

This waiting period allows each dog to decompress, adjust to the new environment, and display their natural behavior before meeting others. If a dog shows signs of stress or discomfort, introductions may be delayed or adjusted for safety. 🐾About me: I was raised on a farm containing large and small animals so I was taught the importance of all living things, but the passion for them bloomed on its own. During my time as a veterinary technician, I gained valuable hands-on experience, including learning how to properly administer medications and mastering essential techniques. My experience at a professional boarding facility further reinforced my passion for providing personalized, attentive care through home-based pet services. I recently worked as a groomer's apprentice, but I’m currently studying to become a certified dog obedience trainer, which will expand my ability to support your furry family members. I’ve loved every moment of my past four years on Rover, from meeting incredible families to caring for pets of all types and personalities. 🐾As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m here to help whenever you need a trusted sitter! To ensure a balanced schedule for both my family and the pets in my care, my phone is silenced between 10 PM and 8 AM. During this time, I may not respond immediately, but I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you for understanding! 🐾About my home: Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! If your fur-baby is a social butterfly, they’ll love visiting me. My home often welcomes friends and family, some bring their dogs for playdates, too! For less social pets, I will ensure a calm and comfortable environment tailored to their needs. While my new home doesn’t have a fenced yard, I’ve adjusted by providing supervised outdoor time with 15-foot leads in my spacious backyard. I also prioritize mealtime safety and feed pets in separate spaces to ensure a stress-free experience. If a crate is needed, I have one available so you don't have to transport yours!

“Working with Rachel was an excellent experience. While mostly sweet, my dog Bosco can also be a stubborn jerk - especially when he's ailing - and Rachel was great with both him and me, his overprotective and constantly worrying dog mom. Bosco had an injured paw when I reached out to Rachel for a reservation and she very kindly and patiently read through my annoyingly detailed instructions about his care. She was also very accommodating when I suggested we take Bosco on a walk together before I left him with her so he could get to know her and feel comfortable around her. When Rachel had a question about Bosco because he was acting up in her care, she did the right thing and contacted me immediately. Thank you, Rachel, for taking care of Bosco for the day! After his first daycare with you, he stopped outside your building on one of our walks and refused to move. We hope you'll take care of Bosco again soon!”

About: *Now offering livestock care! I’ve always loved animals, and taking care of them comes naturally for me. I have two energetic dogs and four cats at home, so I’m used to all kinds of personalities and little quirks. I really enjoy getting to know each pet whether they’re playful or just want a quiet companion. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and not alone while you’re away. As a stay at home mom, caring for pets fits perfectly into my daily routine. I’m home most of the day, so your pet will get tons of attention, love, and playtime ,right alongside my own furry crew! In my home, pets are treated like family with lots of love, supervised outdoor time and play in the fenced in yard. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and happy. If I’m in your home, I’m respectful of your space and will often leave it tidier than when I arrived. I’ll make sure your pet gets the same care and attention they are accustomed to.

“I highly recommend Lauren as a pet sitter. She went above and beyond in her care for our 1 year old border collie. It turns out, Bertie was fearful that his parents were not coming back. Lauren addressed these fears in soothing and gentle ways. She sent frequent updates and photos and we always knew he was receiving the best care. Thank you, Lauren!”

About: I have extensive experience with many breeds of dogs from small to large. I love them all and want to make they're experience of being at home with out you as easy as possible for you and them. I will be able to help release some of that pent up energy from being crated all day or from being in the house without companionship. Help with basic training such as walking nicely on a leash. I'm willing to come when you work late or over night and hate to leave them alone for extended hours. I'm willing to transport them to veterinarian visits or just for a change of scenery. Let's work together for them. Let me be the answer you've been looking for. Thanks Allison
