I was very pleased with the care Lauren provided. Scarlett took to her right away. She is a very knowledgeable and caring person. This was the first time I have left my pet with anyone and I was very comfortable in knowing she would be taken care of very well. I will use her again if in the area and need someone to watch Scarlett and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter or boarding.
— Dixie G.
Lauren has a great set-up, excellent communication and treats our dog like her own! We are so thankful we found her and look forward to using her again.
— Jessica S.
Lauren was amazing!!! My dog had the best time, came home tired and happy. Her house was clean, and her large backyard seemed like a perfect place for all the dogs to run around and have fun. Lauren made me feel secure and safe about leaving my dog there. She was quick to respond and sent me photos throughout the day. I will definitely use her again!!
— Lisa K.
Lauren was great with our Xoloitzcuintli! We were more worried than she was lol she made Dante’s first experience at a doggy sitters so enjoyable! He is a high energy primitive breed but by the time we got him back after 8 hours he slept like a baby! We also got some super helpful tips at the end of his stay. She really WATCHED our dog while she cared for him. She is so knowledgeable and not afraid to spread it, we really appreciated that. We were supposed to stick around another day and book again but decided to end our trip early. When we are in town we will be sure to book her services again! Thank you Lauren! Love, Dante and his humans.
— Sunshine G.
Lauren is a great sitter and I highly recommend her services. Timely communication and photos of my dog on a consistent basis put my mind at ease. Will continue to book her for doggy day care and sitting when I need her help. Thanks Lauren!
— Adam A.
Our little dog stayed with Lauren for about 6 days this month and she had a great time. I’m not sure she was ready to “go home”....! BUT I assured her we will take her to Lauren’s again in a couple of months! Lauren’s house and yard are very very pet friendly and she is clearly a “pro” in dealing with animals of all shapes and sizes. A “no worry” vacation for us and a safe dog friendly place for our pet. Highly recommended!
— Jane B.
This was my first time using Lauren and I’ve already booked her again with my fur kids. She not only enjoys dogs (and horses) but she’s actually a professional when it comes to understanding, training, and the behavior of dogs (and horses). I felt at ease knowing that she was going to keep my fur kids safe and that she had full and complete control of any situation that might get thrown at her. You don’t find someone like Lauren every day and I’m so thankful we did.
— KimBerly K.
I really appreciated Lauren! There is a reason she has so many great reviews! She was very flexible and accommodating when my schedule needed to change some last minute and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog Lucy with her, as it is very apparent she has tons of experience and expertise when it comes to caring for dogs. Her home is also very well set up for dogs. I would definitely book Lauren again!
— Abigail W.
Lauren was responsive and took very good care of Luka. He seemed happy and calm when he returned so I know he was well taken care of. I would contact Lauren again when I need to leave Luka for a stay.
— Joe A.
We love Lauren! And we are so happy we found her here. Theo can barely contain her excitement when we get to Lauren’s house and always come back happy... And better behaved!! Lauren is also great with us ; ). We have had one of those chaotic years, where your dog may get put in 2nd place, but Lauren has been so wonderful, understanding and has loved our Theo when our attention had needed to be elsewhere. I cannot give a higher recommendation!
— Kate S.
Lauren was exceptional. She took loving care of our 3 dogs and we knew they were being well cared for so we could relax and enjoy our vacation. She sent pictures and videos along the way. What a find!! We highly recommend her!
— Kathie H.
Lauren is great! Her home is an absolutely perfect place for pups to be happy and comfortable away from home. Your doggo will have a great time with her and her family.
— Brian P.
Lauren is so great about sending a pic and letting us know how our dog was during the visit. We truly appreciate her and the wonderful care she gives our precious dog!!
— John L.
This was our first experience leaving our St. Bernard anywhere overnight. Lauren was calm and welcoming to Tucker and has had extensive experience with large breeds. She sent us pictures and videos throughout the week. He was actually playing with a Great Dane and seemed to be enjoying himself. Lauren was very sensitive to his preferences and she made it a great experience for all of us. Thanks Lauren, you were great!
— Patricia Q.

PUPPIES

Lauren is a super knowledgeable dogsitter, not your run of the mill “dogs love me, therefore I’m a qualified dogsitter”. I left a 5 month old puppy with her for day care twice and knew immediately he’d be in safe hands and would thoroughly enjoy his visit. Lauren even sent a video of him playing with a housemate just minutes after I dropped him off, reassuring me he had instantly settled in. I’d rehire Lauren in a heartbeat
— Scottie K.
Lauren was very responsive and so easy to work with. She was flexible when we had a schedule change and she took very good care of our puppy! You could tell she cares so much about dogs and animals, and I felt so comfortable leaving our dog with her. We would definitely use her again. Thank you Lauren!
— Valerie H
I don’t even know how many times my pup Bailey has stayed with Lauren but it is quite a few. Every single stay has been wonderful. Lauren is amazing with Bailey and he loves to stay with her!
— Michelle A.
This was our first time boarding our 4 1/2-year-old daughter/dog. It could not have gone better. After a four night stay, we got back a happier and better behaved sweetie. Lauren knows more about dogs than anyone I have ever met and uses that expertise to run a carefully articulated and curated “family”
— Adam C.
Lauren has been absolutely wonderful with our new puppy Angus! We knew we were going to need to find him a special place to stay while we took a long awaited family vacation for one week. A week is a looooong time to leave a new puppy you’ve just bonded with so we decided to have a few “play dates” just to get him acclimated to the new setting.

The first time we brought him to Lauren’s house he planted himself in the doorway sizing up the situation warily. We had to pick him up to get him inside. The second time he went in without a single complaint. And the third time he couldn’t WAIT to get inside to play with his friends! He had a great time playing with his new buddies at Lauren’s for his week at puppy camp. Lauren is very well schooled in animal (and human) behavior and encouraged positive behavior for our little guy during his stay. We are very interested in making sure Angus is well socialized with other dogs and humans. Now, we will bring him over to Lauren’s just for “playdates”! She’s really the best!!!
— Kathrryn S.
Lauren was absolutely great! I’ll definitely be taking my puppy back to her. She was very sweet, attentive, communicative and very knowledgeable about pets. I felt comfortable with her and knew my puppy was in good hands. Thank you so much Lauren!
— Karla C.
Scout loves Lauren! And I do too. She took great care of my puppy and I am so thankful!
— Bayli A.
Definitely a doll and felt very happy and reassured that our pups (Peanut 2.5 yrs) and his sis Butter (4 months) were in amazing hands!!!! Thank you!!!!!
— Tiffany G.
Lauren did an awesome job dropping on on my 7 month old puppy! She gets very nervous around new people and she seemed very comfortable around Lauren. Highly recommend her.
— Jordon O.
lauren is a great resource, and our soluna, an aged shelter rescue, came home very happy and healthy after a week. lauren has a deep and caring understanding of dogs, and gave me some valuable observations regarding soluna’s social character after having her there for the week while we were traveling. apparently our old dog LOVES puppies, which became evident while lauren also boarded one! ‘luna had never been around them since we got her as a pup, but we’re now talking about getting another! we look forward to having lauren take ‘luna for us again whenever the need arises! i can highly recommend her.
— Robert C.

ELDERLY PETS

Lauren’s home is a dog haven especially for your elderly dog. She really understood and catered to my 14 1/2 year old nearly blind, deaf and wobbly Jack Russel’s needs. In fact, Zoey was so happy I think she was not ready to come home, she had real grass in her backyard to sniff! Lauren really cares and is quite knowledgeable and experienced about caring for puppy’s to great grandma dogs like mine. Thank you!
— Jody D.
Firstly, I NEVER leave my sweet elderly dog alone or entrust her care to anyone. Lauren’s 5-Star reviews blew me away and let me tell you - they are all absolutely accurate. Lauren was incredibly responsive, made herself available immediately for a meet & greet. She listened carefully to all guidance and instructions for my elderly pooch. Lauren sent photos and was very accommodating to last minute sitting changes. She is super thoughtful and was very caring and respectful of my senior dog’s special needs. Lauren took extra care when my dog was having a slight medical issue which we know occurs - she stayed extra time to ensure my dog recovered and was breathing normal again and resting comfortably. I came home to a healthy, happy, well fed, watered, walked, relaxed little pup. I would not hesitate to book Lauren’s services again - she is really wonderful and exceedingly responsive. A++ Experience!! Thank you Lauren!
— Lisa S.
Our senior pup needs a little extra attention with meds and cuddles. She had a great time with Lauren and her pack! She came home happy and calm. Thanks Lauren!
— Erika B.
Our senior dog had a great stay with Lauren. Very happy when we picked her up. Lauren was understanding of her physical challenges. Also very responsive with us so quite happy we found Lauren.
— Elizabeth B.
Our dog Lola is getting old and anxious but she is happy to go to see Lauren. We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
— Susan S.
Lauren was an absolute angel. My 15-year-old golden retriever was having stomach issues and diarrhea. Lauren was very Gracious about handling a very difficult situation. Apparently my dog Ginger pooped inside her house and made a big mess. I felt terrible about it. But Lauren handled it all with aplomb. All of this on top of trying to help her son with his homework, and deal with other dogs that are in the house. So she definitely gets 5+ stars.
— David C.
Great communication! Thank you for taking such great care of our old man dog.
— Erik N.

EMOTIONAL PETS

We met Lauren last year...our terrier/ Pomeranian is a handful and most friends kindly decline watching him because of this :) we understand. Lauren was recommend to us by a friend. She first watched our Prince Charming (yes that’s his name) for three days. This is the first time we have been away from him this long. Lauren was/is amazing! I explained to her how my teenage daughter is so attached to Charming and was very nervous about leaving him...Lauren gave her constant updates with pictures and really took her time to put my daughter at ease...this was huge for us! She genuinely cares about the pets she watches! She also helps with suggestions and helpful hints on taking care of our pup...she really enjoys what she’s doing and it shows...I recommend her to all of our friends...I can’t say enough good things about her service...we won’t leave Chramonino anywhere else. There were a few times we asked for her to watch him an extra day so we can enjoy another day out of town, even with short notice Lauren was kind and worked around our schedule...I can’t say enough good things about her!
— Belle C.
Lauren was the best!! So knowledgeable about dogs, friendly, communicative and sweet with our Newt (our small Great Dane). It was our first time leaving her with anyone. She assured us of our worries and sent photos during her two night stay. She even had Newt sleep where she wanted which ended up being on her bed. I felt very confident with our Rover choice and would book with Lauren again when in the Palm Desert area. Thank you Lauren!!!
— Bean B
My Penny is such a nervous dog and I was going to be on an long vacation that my parents would not be able to watch her. I was so worried about putting her in a kennel where she would be caged up most of the day with little interaction or exercise. I was so fortunate to have a neighbor recommend Lauren to me. I met her and her gang prior to bringing Penny and immediately felt comfortable and knew this was going to be a great fit for my pup. I brought Penny over 3 times during the day and 1 overnight. Each time I could see her getting more comfortable. She always immediately went to Lauren and even waged her tail as she went in the house. My dog went from hiding next to Lauren while she worked to playing with the puppies following around her favorite buddy Cody. Lauren made sure she sent pictures and videos the whole time I was on vacation. This made it possible for me to truly enjoy my vacation with no worries. I recommend Lauren to everyone I know or who asks for a recommendation. I cannot say enough good things about Lauren and her family!
Thank you so much Lauren!!!!
— Robin W.
What a fabulous time our dog had with Lauren. Usually our sheltie is very shy with new people and even as he was walking to the door his ears perked up. When he met Lauren, he was a tiny bit shy for just a minute and then just pranced right up to her! She knew exactly how to put him at ease and sent many updates and photos, which eased our mind about his stay. We highly recommend Lauren as one of the best dog sitters we have ever used!
— Jan A.
Lauren is fantastic. She took fabulous care of a nervous dog grieving loss of its owner. Cannot recommend her enough.
— Will N.
I am so happy with Lauren! My very anxious dog had a fantastic stay over. Lauren is very attentive, responds rapidly to your text, and includes pictures of your fur babies for the worried parents. I highly recommend her.
— Claudia G.
We have a high-energy, 60lb rescue dog. He was nervous to go at first, but Lauren connected with our dog instantly. She was very responsive and knowledgeable. We chose her initially because of her experience with shelter pups and we’re so happy we did. When we picked him up, she told us how they day went and gave us some training tips as well. We felt 100% comfortable leaving our pup in her hands and took him back multiple times..
— Alexa L.
I always trust Lauren to take good care of my pup. Not everyone understands a dog that has anxiety issues. New situation, people or dogs can be scary for a dog that has anxiety. But with Lauren I never worry. Not only is she able to get him to take his meds but makes him feel comfortable and happy and at home.The pictures she sends always put a smile on my face that he is having a good time. With a person that understands he is sweet and gentle. Simply put we are so happy we found Lauren to care for our pup. She is fabulous.
— Mirelle G.
Great stay! My pup is a little bit of a Nervous Nellie who thinks she is human. Lauren read her and took good care of her. This is the first time that I’ve picked her up from boarding/daycare where she wasn’t just a little bit freaked. I was worried because her last boarding stay was verifiably sub-par (not thru Rover) and am so happy it went so well :) Thank you!
— Holli P.
Once again, Lauren, the SUPER GIRL of dog sitting, has done it! Our dog was sooo comfortable at Lauren’s EVEN through the July 4th fireworks which generally make her CRAZY. Lauren has the magic touch with dogs and we are the lucky people who know her! THANK YOU LAUREN!
— Jane B.
I have a golden doodle that gets nervous when she leaves home. Having Lauren
Blachley caring for our dog has been the greatest blessing. Calee loves going to spend weekends and even when we go on long trips she loves staying at Lauren’s home, she always comes back happy and content.
When she first went to Lauren’s house she refused to eat so Lauren would literally get down on the ground with Calee and eat with her.
Lauren is the most loving, caring dog sitter I could ever ask for, she truly puts
her heart and soul into caring for these animals!
— Lori O.
Lauren is amazing. She’s extremely knowledgeable about dog behavior. I needed a dog sitter for my new rescue. After meeting with Lauren I felt very comfortable leaving Lucy with her for 12 days. I returned to a different dog, very calm and well adjusted. I will be taking Lucy to Lauren from now on. Thank you, Lauren!
— Lisa Y.
Lauren was wonderful with our high energy dog! Thank you!
— Andrea A.

SPECIAL NEEDS

Lauren has been watching my dog for quite a while now. She watches him for daycare and he had spent the night at her house a few times. She is wonderful. I couldn’t ask for better care.
My dog has Addison’s disease and for those who don’t know,it’s a stress related disease. I am always very cautious about putting him in new situations because I don’t want to cause him to go into a crisis. Well, Lauren is on it! She always follows my medication regimen and food regimen for him. She notices so many things most people miss. When he had a little bit of weight gain(due to a specific medication)she noticed. When he acts a little “off“ she notices. Not many people do that.I find it so comforting that she pays that much attention to him. I couldn’t ask for anything more. I trust her implicitly!
Austin is always so happy to see her and exhausted when I get him home. That is a sure sign he had a great time!Also, I love the way she integrates the dogs together. She has a very specific way of doing that and they all get along. My dog is about 12 pounds and he plays with big dogs-no problems. You can tell they all enjoy being in her care. One last thing. I had to have surgery and Lauren was watching my dog. He needed to get on a new medication ASAP. She sent her wonderful boyfriend to the vet and he got it for me. He is also fabulous. I can’t thank her highly enough for that since I was not in a place to be driving to the vet.
Again, I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you’re lucky enough to have your dog in her care, your dog will be treated just like her own.
Thanks Lauren! Austin and I love you!
— Rachel McNary
Best sitter and experience we’ve had so far. Highly recommend Lauren and wish we lived closer to book her more often!

She keeps you up to date, attentive to details and needs of your furry friend, extremely educational on health/behaviors of animals, and patient with any issues!

Lauren helped us rediscover our dogs lack of hearing, dogs adapt well and we thought early on our Stella might have hearing deficiencies but she started picking up obedience training without fail so we thought maybe she grew out of it.

Lauren helped us rediscover her deficiencies and how to continue to train her in a way that Stella can best understand.

In addition, our Stella was at the end of her first heat cycle and going through some behavior changes from it during her stay with Lauren - Lauren was so helpful in these crucial days of desensitizing food or resource aggression and taught us tools we can use to mitigate the fear for Stella long term.

Long story short, we love Lauren, she’s the best and I trusted her right away. We’re so thankful to have met her through Rover.
— Tim H.
Lauren was amazing!! Super flexible with our special requests for Pliny. Will 1000% book her again when we are vacationing in the desert!!!
— Courtney & Ronald M.
My boys had a great time at Lauren’s house! I have. Blind dog that often has GI problems when I pick him up.... Not while or after staying with Lauren! She’s very accommodating and resourceful.
If you are hesitant about leaving your pooch with strangers, give Lauren a try, you will not be disappointed!!!
— Laura L.
I didn’t realize that I never left a review for Lauren, and I should have. She was absolutely wonderful! One of my dogs can be quite difficult, and Lauren was infinitely patient, professional, and effective. I highly recommend her as a sitter.
— Kate H.
Lauren is fantastic. When we leave Scruffy with her I know he is taken good care of. She understands him and gives him the comfort and love he needs. She is also able to give him his meds.and get him to eat. She keeps in touch with updates and pics on how he is doing and gives me peace of mind. So happy to have found her.
— Mirelle G.

Lauren is our hero! We were in town for a wedding and our pups did not respond well to being left in the hotel room alone. So we contacted Lauren at the last minute and she sweetly accommodated us, and to make it even sweeter, our girl pup who very apprehensive about strangers took to her right way! Thanks Lauren!
— Kerry F.
Lauren was great! Very professional, knew what to do and treated my fur son great! Also has a great set up for multiple visits! Thank you again! I know my boy looks forward to visiting again.
— Alejandro B.
Lauren is fantastic. She made our 2 dogs feel very comfortable and has great knowledge about how to read and introduce dogs to the situation. We’ve just booked additional day care and boarding with her. Recommend her highly!!
— Nick M.
Loves what she does. So good with Tyson. A lovely young lady.
— Ann M.
Lauren is fabulous, Theo always has a wonderful time and we know that she is well cared for at Lauren’s house!
— Kate S.
Lauren is FABULOUS! We came to the desert from the beach and I brought my dog only to find out that where we stayed did not allow dogs. I found the Rover website, and knowing my dog was partial to females, I contacted Lauren. He stayed longer than I had intended, & not being kennel trained, Laren allowed him either on her bed at night or on her bedside floor to sleep. He either cruised around the house or enjoyed lounging on her large grass backyard, he loved it there! When I arrived there to drop him off she had everything immaculate, the dogs in their large kennels extremely happy, their food all sorted out for each one of them, with a fragrant candle burning, A girl after my own heart ❤️
Love you Lauren! Lindy from Newport Beach
— Lindy Lu B.
Amazing, as usual! I can go out of town at ease knowing my dog is safe with her. Can’t thank her enough.
— Cristine L.
Lauren is a fabulous pet sitter. She made me feel so comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable person to safely take care of their pet!
— Jamie F.
Felt very comfortable leaving Penny with Lauren and her pals, she enjoyed a big yard with more than enough playmates and was very sad when we left to take her home. That says she had a ton fun! Thank you Lauren!
— Jessica H.
Lauren was excellent with our Coton. He seemed to feel right at home with her and was not at all stressed out when we picked him up. Definitely would use her again when visiting the Palm Desert area. I highly recommend her services.
— Alan F.
Lauren kept us up to date on our our girls were doing and how they were getting along with the others! She was so flexible with our meeting and drop off times.
— Kristin L.
Winston appeared to have a great day with Lauren! I would absolutely use her again. Thank you, Lauren, for taking such good care of him!
— Nancy M.
My two dogs love spending time at Lauren’s house. Every time I leave them there they do not want to come back. She takes great care of them and gives the individualized attention. She knows how to deal with their personalities. I will recommend Lauren, she will love and care for your puppy in the best way.
— Pablo R.
Great sitter. Highly recommend.
— Daniel B.
We loved Lauren. Our little Westie was happy to go the second day which was a real tell. She ran right over to Lauren and headed right into the house! We will use Lauren every time
— Sandra C.
Another wonderful experience with Lauren! We can’t recommend her enough. Our usually anxious dog is always happy to go to Lauren’s.
— Kate S.
Lauren was awesome! My dog had a great time. Looking forward to another visit soon!
— Kathy M.
Lauren is friendly and so personable.
She know all about animals, so loving towards them
I look forward to having her take care of Tyson again
Lovely gal
— Ann M.
Vader feels like home with Lauren. She is very responsive and attentive to our kids needs. This was our second time using her and will continue to do so.
— Daniela S.
Lauren is the best. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and their specific needs. She has helped me tremendously over the years. She always sends pictures and videos and keeps me updated on how my dogs are doing. She’s very prompt. I trust her with my babies and I would not take them to anyone else. Thank you Lauren!
— Bayli A.
Spoke with Lauren on my way home from the shelter with Oliver. She has been so helpful with training advice and Oliver LOVES his time in her home. It’s great piece of mind knowing he is safe and having a great time on long days when I can’t be with him.
— Amy B,
Couldn’t be happier with Lauren’s service. She’s flexible and Jaegar is always a happy boy with her. Couldn’t thank her enough!
— Christine L.
We have boarded our dog with Lauren twice. She is very communicative, which is appreciated. Our dog (Dash) seems to be happy after we pick him up. He is typically pretty tired and we assume it’s because he’s been playing with the other dogs at Lauren’s home. We will definitely take Dash back to Lauren in the future.
— Aly S.
We felt very confident and happy about our choice to board with Lauren, her home was an oasis of calm despite there being 4 dogs there! Kona was relaxed and happy when we came to pick her up and Lauren communicated well with us, adjusting to our changeable arrival and pick up times in a very professional manner.
— Stephanie M.
Theo always has a wonderful time at Lauren’s! She comes home happy and better behaved!
— Kate S.
Lauren was great. We were nervous at first about leaving our dog with a stranger. Yoshi is a rescue, still young and learning the rules. He’s had behavior issues coupled with fear and anxiety, and we worried about what would happen with other dogs or people he didn’t know if we weren’t there monitoring. Lauren’s experience with fostering and rescues made her the right choice for us, and it was just an overnight stay. The way Lauren explained how she would introduce her dogs slowly one at a time left me feeling confident that she had everything under control, and our dog wouldn’t be overwhelmed and lash out. Any questions I had or information I wanted was answered perfectly.
Pup wasn’t feeling too well for a day or two afterward, and Lauren gave me information about some of the neighbor’s plant he may have eaten that can cause mild digestive problems, and checked in to make sure everything was ok later. We later learned that at my mom’s house where we were staying that someone snuck almost their body weight in chicken when we weren’t looking, hence the upset stomach, but Lauren’s concern was still really sweet.
We would definitely choose her again. Thanks Lauren!
— Breanna P.
Lauren was wonderful. Took in my wolfhound w very short notice when we had to leave town for a funeral and Lauren sent pictures of her during the week long stay. I felt secure the dog was getting excellent care, and she was. I am SO glad I didn’t go with a kennel, our wolfie needs companionship and would have been an anxious mess in one. She was comfortable and relaxed at Lauren’s, and came home happy, clean, healthy. We absolutely will use her again, hopefully with more notice. Not everyone would take on a 140# dog, and love on her, but Lauren absolutely did. Thank you!!
— Maura B.
Lauren is absolutely the best! I have 5 dogs that have varying degrees of friendliness/growling upon greeting folks-even ones they know. They all are overjoyed when they see Lauren show up. Do not hesitate to use her-she is a dog whisperer!!
— Julie D.
Great personality, loves dogs, communicated throughout the entire process. Highly recommended.
— Patrick M.
Lauren is the absolute best. She takes such great care and makes Scruffy feel comfortable .(Also she gives him his meds.) So very happy that we found her. I can relax knowing Scruffy is in Lauren’s capable hands. Thank you so very much.
— Mirelle G.
My dog Penny loved her stay with Lauren. After greeting me for pick up, Penny clearly wanted to stay and play with her new friends. Thanks you Lauren for taking such good care of my “baby girl”.
— Ann N,
Lauren was amazing and so knowledgeable about dogs, personalities, and behaviors! Eddie and I were so grateful for her excellent and thoughtful care.
— Emily T.
Lauren is truly the best. She is fantastic with our Scruffy. She is able to deal with his special needs and makes him feel like he is part of the family. I am able to have confidence that he is having a positive experience. So happy she is able to take care of Scruffy for us.
— Mirelle G.
Absolutely THE BEST!!!
— Clare A.
Our very shy sheltie loved staying with Lauren. She knew just what to do to make him feel at ease and was relaxed and happy when we picked him up. This was his second time with Lauren and we highly recommend her!
— Jan A.
Although my dog stayed for one night, Lauren was great. I definitely recommend her if you would like someone who is attentive and really cares for your dog. It also helps that she is in the field as well. If I am ever in the area, I would book her again!
Thank you again, Lauren!
— Alexis E.
Lauren did a wonderful job about taking care of my dogs. They each have their own personality and she made sure that both of them were happy and entertained while my family was away. She had them for 19 days in a row. When I came back one of my dogs didn’t want to come home and I’m sure he missed her because he was grumpy for a few days.
She is a great sitter and and very sharp about staying on top of dogs needs. I will use her services again and again.
— Pablo R.
Always consistent. I always come home to happy dogs. Really just awesome. Can’t say enough great things.
— Jessica A.
Lauren is the best with the dogs, so thankful we found her!
— Kathy R.
Lauren was available on short notice when we came to town to visit friends, but dogs were not allowed at the hotel. She was communicative and took good care of our pups.
— Rebecca M.
Five starts. Lauren is a lovely person and our dog was very clean and happy when we picked her up. We will use her service again.
— Terry H.
Lauren is a fantastic person! My dogs liked her right away, they could feel how much she loves animals! Thanks Lauren for being on time, trustworthy and amazing!!!❤️
— Lori B.
Lauren is so great with my dogs, I never worry when I have to go out of town because she takes such good care of my dogs and they just love her! She comes over and spends time with them and takes care of them. I am so thankful to have found such a great sitter for the digs!
— Kathy R.
Lauren is amazing friendly made my doggie feel right at home as soon as we walked in..Great large bread comfy kennels and a big back yard with grass to play in... wouldn’t think of leaving our 140 lb..baby anywhere else...
— Jennifer P.
Lauren was awesome! I originally booked my dog’s stay for 2 nights. Something came up and I asked if he stay for 2 additional nights. She gladly accepted. Her friendly professional attitude makes all the differene.
— Gilbert S.
Always know my Bailey is safe and well taken care of in Lauren’s care! I have left him with her approx 15 times since he was a puppy and Bailey is always so happy to be there and I know he gets all the love and attention he needs!
— Michelle A.
Denver has stayed with Lauren multiple times and every single time has been great. He loves going over there and always comes back nice and tired from playing. She will continue to be our go to when we are out of town.
— Nick B.
Lauren was fantastic!! We had to have a dog sitter at the last minute and Lauren came through with flying colors. Lauren was very flexible in our drop off and pick up times, she worked around our schedule that was very tight. Our 1 1/2 year old Maltese/Terrier mix had a great time with Lauren, he was very excited on our “greet and meet,” and was still playful when we picked him up. Lauren sent pictures while we were gone and Turbo was relaxed sitting with another dog. We will definitely use Lauren again!! Highly recommend Lauren.
— John L.
Lauren is very good at responding to any questions or concerns we had. She made picking up and dropping off a breeze and was very accommodating with a last minute adjustment we had to make in the schedule. Bella had a great time at Lauren’s, and we will definitely use her again!
— Andrea P.
This was our first time meeting and leaving our dog with Lauren. There was good communication for drop off and pick up. She was a very nice person and her home is set up to care for many dogs. I hope to use her again.
— Pam H.
Lauren is amazing! She was able to help me out at the last minute while I was out of town. She is the dog whisperer!! Highly recommend!
— Natasha K.
Our chocolate lab, Annie, just spent her first three days with Lauren. She seemed really relaxed and comfortable with Lauren when we arrived after her stay. Lauren took the time to send us a photo, stayed in touch with us, and allowed us to add an extra night to the original plan. We will definitely use her services again and highly recommend her!
— Margi M.
I found Lauren only 3 days before our trip to San fransico my fiancé was very hesitant about leaving Hans but the but her reviews were consistent and her actions added up! She has a great system set up that made our dog feel comfortable and relaxed she is also educated about dogs and we even learned a few things about hans! And just dogs in general!! she is super patient and easy going! And was able to accommodate the last minute changes!! Thank you so much!!

Lauren is wonderful! She knows her stuff and is the best person to trust your furry family members with. We visit the area a few times a year and looks like we found a permenant spot for Duke.

— Steve C.
Penny had a great time at Lauren’s! Lauren was very friendly and took very good care of Penny. She sent me pictures the whole time I was gone, which I appreciated very much.

— Courtney L.
Lauren is awesome and stormy had a great time!

Finn and Henry always have a great time and Lauren’s place is well suited to both their temperaments. Finn can run and play, and Henry can retreat and chill when his old soul needs a break. They’re always excited to have their “vacation” when we need to leave town.
— Michael S.
Lexi loved her stay with Lauren. Lexi is quite energetic so she loved playing with the other dogs and loved Lauren tossing the ball for her. I loved the pictures Lauren sent throughout her stay. Lexi was exhausted when she got home ..... meaning she had fun!!

— Anie H.
We are part-timers in the desert and brought our dog, Deacon for the first time. Due to our schedule, we needed someone to watch him because we were going to be gone for a lengthy time and didn’t want to leave him alone. We found Lauren through Rover. She was very accommodating and very knowledgeable with dogs and it was obvious that she loves what she’s doing. Deacon had a wonderful time and came home exhausted. We will use Lauren again and recommend her to others.
— Peg A.
This is Jackson’s 4th time been boarding, every time he enjoyed & don’t wants to come Home... definitely loves your home Lauren, and thanks for sharing your experience & knowledge to me . Appreciated. Will back very soon =]

— Jamey L.
Thank you so much!!! Pups love you!
— Coutney L.
Lauren was super friendly and accommodating as we were in town for New Year’s Eve and needed to find a sitter last minute. She kept us updated frequently and Halley looked like she had an amazing time playing with other dogs in Lauren’s big yard.

Lauren took great care of my dog for 10 days! She sent picture and video updates which was awesome. I’ll definitely book with her again in the future.

— Raj P.
Lauren was great!! I felt very comfortable leaving my Bully with her! She also provided some great tips to help my Bully out.

Every time I need a sitter Lauren is always there to help and goes out of her way to accommodate my requests. I won’t trust my dog with anyone else besides her.
— Al H.
Lauren is an excellent dog sitter. You can tell that she really loves animals. Her responsiveness is also excellent.
— Jackie K.
Lauren B was great with Jax. Nice to have piece of mind when leaving your fur baby.

— Barbara H.
Terriffic stay. He was very happy and wouldn’t hesitate to return.

— Eileen B.
Lauren was great! We were coming from out of town and our first dog sitter had to unexpectedly cancel. She said she would absolutely watch our pup daily for three days! She loved our dog and sent pictures and gave us a daily recap when we picked up our dog. I would highly recommend her!!
— Sharon P.
I thought I wrote a lengthy review once before but found it was evidently in the wrong place!
Lauren was great! She accepted our request at last minute and our Sara (Dobie) had a great time and she sent pictures of course. Since Sara gets on our couch and sleeps on our bed with us, I look for dog lovers who do the same and she did. Thank you Laura! you get 5 stars! Judy K
— Judy K.
We have never left our dog with a stranger, so we were reluctant—but what a positive experience! Lauren was great! She is totally set up for dog sitting & seemed happy to meet our, Kobi. We felt so good about leaving him in what was obviously a loving, safe, clean environment. I would definitely recommend Lauren!
— Toni H.
Great service! Lauren sent us pictures nearly everyday of our dog. Our dog was so happy and healthy when we picked her up. Thank you so much for the piece of mind while we were traveling.
— Arizona A.
My family had an emergency and had to leave the desert with about 6 hours notice. Luckily, I got into contact with Lauren the morning of and a few hours later, my dog was safe at her home. Lauren definitely takes her dog sitting role seriously. Luke is a 3 year old working Labrador Retriever and I was extremely hesitant to leave him with a stranger. Very glad that Lauren and I crossed paths. I now have my go-to dog sitter and would definitely recommend her services to others.
— Al H.
Lauren was kind enough to meet Mahina prior to her stay. She was responsive to my texts and loved getting pics of our pup playing with the other dogs.
— Tatiana S.
Lauren was very prompt with her reponse and was kind enough to take our dog last minute. She is very friendly and our dog came back happy.
— Vivian M.
We were looking for an understanding pet sitter. Our Scruffy is on the nervous side. But Lauren took the time to put Scruffy and us at ease with her positive calm caring outlook. Sent us pics right away to let us see he was settling in, which really helped. She also has a nice size yard for dogs to play in and is clean. Thank you
— Mirelle G.
Lauren was great in every way. 5 stars!
— Daniel H.
I have only let one other person EVER walk our 150 lb Mastiff in 9yrs. He’s polite but can be stubborn and when he outweighs his walker can be a problem. Lauren was great with him from the beginning! She has walked him on the days I have to be gone for lengthy times and always sends me a photo of him. This is the first time I’ve used the app; I would highly recommend it as well as Lauren!
— Pam R.
Joey had a great day. Thanks for watching him!
— Ken F.
Lauren was amazing!!! I was very worried for my boxer Zeek..but Lauren bonded with him right away, and being away was not a big deal with Lauren taking care of my boy. Thank you again Lauren!!!
— Robert E.
Lauren is the perfect person to be with your animals. Positive, compassionate and thoughtful. Winston, the dog, loves her!
— Craig M.
Great experience, highly recommended
— Tate P.
Lauren was wonderful! Super sweet, responsive and loves animals. Her home was clean, cozy and full of good energy and all the dogs looked happy and secure. If there was a way to do over 5 stars, we would!
— Jackie S.
Lauren is outstanding in every way. She understands the world of animals and humans. She shared amazing insights with us, and both our Standard poodles loved her. One is 15 1/2 male, and the other has only been part of our family for a
Week, a 1 1/2 year old female. We are thrilled we can count on her help.
— Barbara H.
Always perfect my dogs love her and I never have to worry about anything!!
— Linda S.
My pups had an amazing time during their three night stay. I always feel comfortable leaving them with Lauren :)
— Anabelle R.
My dog Brett LOVES going to Lauren’s house! He is always so excited to go play with new friends every time we visit the area! Lauren also sends the most adorable and funny pictures of my boy having a great time!
— Kristin B.
My dog had a great time and I was completely at ease leaving him in Lauren’s capable hands. I highly recommend her services.
— Jason M.
Once again, amazing stay for Jaegar! Glad we have someone we can trust:)
— Christine L.
Lauren is a kind and caring dog nanny. Our three dogs - 1 golden retriever and 2 Spanish Cavaliers just finished their first stay with Lauren. It was 10 days, and Lauren sent us photos of the dogs throughout - playing with other dogs, sleeping on the sofa, etc. The pups were happy, and we were relieved. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Lauren!
— Susan D.
I have numerous great things I can say about the care my dog receives while in Lauren’s care. Facility well kept, space for pets great, other animals that I have seen well managed and more. I would like to share as a pet owner when needing to leave pet with someone has caused me some anxiety in the past. Not with Lauren my dog is happy to go, has never been stressed when picked up, gets good socialization, truely enjoys her visits there.
Thank you Lauren for all you do.
— Sherry G.
Lauren was very responsive and took great care of our pup!
— Kevin W.
Nice environment, Lauren is flexible and easy to work with. Thank you for taking care of our goofy pup!
— Stephen M.
Roxie had a fun day with the other dogs!! She was pooped out so that’s always a good sign.
— Marci K.
Lauren was fantastic! She was on time (early) pickup and dropped off at request. Communication with her was easy, she responded quickly with updates and scheduling. She was great with the puppies and I am sure they had a great time with her! Thank you Lauren!
— Amy Lynn G.
Lauren was great to work with and perfect for our sweet Jacobs 2 day stay while we were in the dessert. This was my first Rover experience, and Lauren walked me through it like the pro she is. She sent us pictures and updated us as to how he was doing and was very thorough and thoughtful. I highly recommend Lauren if you need help with your dog while in the Palm Dessert area. She is not just a person looking after your dog she is engaged and cares about your family member as if it were her own.
— Brenda K.
We are new residents to the desert and hoped we’d be able to find safe, reasonably-priced boarding for our two older Labrador Retrievers when we needed to be out of town. We looked at a few places around town, but they didn’t seem right for us. We found Lauren on Rover.com, loved her profile, i.e., her love for and devotion to animals, and we booked a weekend overnight stay for our Labs. Lauren is absolutely awesome, caring, compassionate, and professional. Our dogs had a blast being with Lauren. We have no hesitation boarding Abbie & Maggie with Lauren again. Thank you, Lauren, for providing great care to our dogs and peace of mind to us, and Rover.com for the services you provide.
— Barbara E.
I am very happy Bailee found a 2nd home when I’m away. I am very picky and my heart can rest easy knowing Bailee is in excellent care when I am out of town. Lauren truly has a passion for animals.
— Becky D.
A 5+ star stay!!! Bandit and Miller love staying with Lauren. We will be back :)
— Laura S.
This is my pups favorite place to stay while mommy & daddy are away. Lauren is so good with him and he is totally pooped out when he comes home. Would highly recommend!!
— Michelle A.
I was so anxious to leave my 2 year old lab mix but needed to leave town for a couple nights. Lauren let us come over to meet her before we booked which put my mind at ease. When I dropped him off he ran to her which was a good sign. Lauren kept me posted with uipdates and a video clip. So obvious she’s an animal lover. Picked him up last night. Lauren was very accommodating with our schedule which I am very appreciative of. Thank you Lauren!
— Nadira L.
Lauren is wonderful. She took great care of Ford and Reagan and definitely recommend her.
— Dori L.
Lauren is great! She worked with our travel schedule and took great care of Jack. The videos she sent were really nice and helped our kids that were really missing their puppy. We will definitely use her again.
— Greg K.
She was wonderful !! It was the first time we’ve ever used a dog sitter and we will definitely use her again. The dogs loved her, the pictures she sent were fantastic and we didn’t worry about our dogs once, we knew they were in good hands. She will definitely become part of the family as we now feel comfortable about leaving our pets for the first time.
— Linda S.
Booked a doggie daycare day with Lauren to try this out. A great first experience with Rover, and Lauren was a perfect match for our dog. Will definitely book again.
— Laura S.
Lauren was very easy to book and talk to. More importantly, she is really good with dogs. She handled our two large dogs very well and they look like they had a great time. She communicated with us throughout their stay which was very helpful. We found our sitter!
— Edina B.
Very professional, beautiful safe yard, great vibe! I had my 2 Pharaoh Hound over for a night stay and they came home very happy. My hounds are a little high maintenance however Lauren took stellar care of them! It is hard finding a place where I can take my hounds leave them and feel at ease, however with Lauren I now have a comfy place for for my hounds and my head.
Mahalo!
— Robin M.
This was the first time we used Lauren to watch our two dogs. It was an excellent experience. They obviously liked her and vice versa. Her house is very “dog friendly” — reflecting the fact that she obviously likes animals very much — and the generous back yard is an excellent place for them to play. We definitely will call her next time we need a dog sitter.
Richard Blackhurst
— Richard B.
Lauren was awesome! She was very quick to respond and kept us updated with pictures and videos of our puppy during her stay!
— Dawn B,
Lauren was Fantastic with my dog. I feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her when I’m away knowing she’s in good hands.
— Scott D.
Lauren was amazing and super accommodating.
— Claudine S.
Easy to plan with, knowledge and passionate about animals / dogs; organized plan for dog intros/play. Success!
— Stephanie P.
If my dog could talk she would tell me she had a good time and was looking forward to another visit to Lauren’s house
— Hallary S.
Once again Lauren was amazing! My pups love staying with her and playing woth their friends.
— Annabelle R.
Lauren is the greatest. She was so good to my dog Moose while I was on vacation. She sent daily pics and updates. Moose came home super tired from all the fun he had. I would recommend her to anyone who wants their pets to have lots of love an attention while you are gone. I’ve already booked my dogs next stay with her.
— Jennifer A.
Lauren took great care of our dog. She made sure the other dogs treated her respectfully as the new comer and updated me on how well she was doing. Lauren is warm and friendly and responded very quickly to my requests.
— Theresa M.
Lauren was super accommodating and took fantastic care of our two doggies while we hiked Joshua Tree for the day. She sent photo updates and and we picked up two very happy, very tired dogs at the end of the day. Wish we didn’t live so far so we could use her services more often! Great first Rover experience, thanks so much Lauren!!
— Tiphini A.
My recent visit to Indian Wells was saved by Lauren. I had a reservation with someone who cancelled at 1 in the morning. I was able to book Lauren and tell her my situation. She promptly respond to me the next morning. I was able to drop them off with her and her dogs. She asked me about my girls health and when I would be back. I made it to work and was able to set up the art show without having to worry about my dogs. Lauren worked with my schedule very well. When I picked my dogs up they were always fed and happy. I recieved multiple updates on how they were doing throughout the day. Overall my experience with Lauren was excellent, if you are in the area and need a knowledgeable caring person to watch you dogs she is fantastic. Plenty of room for the dogs, she had multiple kennels and a nice sized yard in the back. Thank you Lauren
— Wayne D.
My girls had a great time! Her setup was very professional, organized yet comforting. Getting pictures throughout their stay was nice! Lauren definitely has our recommendation.
— Tony A.
Lauren made everything easy; her home and yard are escape proof, dog proof, and set up to accommodate and introduce the new dogs easily. She is warm, welcoming, and loving. When I came to pick up the dogs, Lauren brought them out to me, and they were hard to get into the car, I think they wanted to stay!
— Mary M.
Lauren was super friendly and flexible. She loves dogs and her home is completely set for them! Our princess had a great time. Lauren kept us updated all the time, sending photos and always answering to any questions. Great sitter.
— Irina V.
We used dog vacay for the first time and we could not have been more happy with Lauren and her family. We visited the night before so she could meet our dogs— and they were so happy to stay there. We will use Lauren again and we will refer her. We are so happy to have met her!!!
— Wendy S.
Lauren was so friendly and accommodating. My little dog had a great time playing with her bigger dogs and she treated him like one of the family :)
Our schedule was a little crazy, but Lauren was super easy to work with and kept us updated on our dogs stay.
— Amy K.
Lauren was fantastic. The setting was perfect for our little guy, and Lauren is simply wonderful with animals. We needed her for daycare one day and then another day for an overnight. Both were “happy-camper” experiences!
— Larry T.
Lauren was friendly and accommodating. Her house is set up really well to take of dogs. Our dog walked around her house and yard as soon as we arrived and he usually doesn’t want to leave my side. She sent pictures and videos of our dog interacting with her dogs and son. We will definitely leave Kai with her the next time we visit Palm Desert.
— Cindy A.
Lauren was kind and sweet. Kramer enjoyed his time with her and we will request her again. Thanks for making our day trip care-free knowing that our fur baby was well taken care of. You are the best!
— Julie G.
Thank you Lauren for correcting Jackson jumping problem, now he is much better before boarding. Appreciated.
— Enrong H.
We are from out of town, and Lauren did two drop in visits for our dog Gabriel. When we did a meet and greet Lauren was on time, immediately developed rapport with our dog, and asked us detailed questions about his needs and wants. We were also very impressed with Lauren’s background working with animals both large and small.
Lauren visited our dog on the day we were out of town, walked him and sent us photos of the visits. She did a great job and we felt very lucky to have found Lauren.
The next time we are in the area we would not hesitate to use Lauren to watch our pet. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy, competent pet sitter.
— Steve G.
Lauren was amazing. She was available last minute for me to drop my dog off for daycare. I literally contacted her an hour before dropping my dog off. It was my first time using a sitter for any of my pets so I was extremely nervous but the moment I met her that all went away. My dog instantly walked in the house and started playing with another dog that was there and warmed up to Lauren and her husband right away. She has escaped yards before and slipped out of collars so I was worried but I told Lauren this and she agreed to only use my dogs harness and after seeing the fenced in back yard I wasn’t worried my dog would jump it anyway and why would she when she was having such a great time. I don’t live in the area but if I did Lauren would be my go to sitter and if I’m ever in the area again she will be the first one I contact. She knows what she’s doing, loves dogs and they love her and there isn’t a single reason to worry. I highly recommend her for any of your needs.
— April H.
Lauren was great! We just moved into town and needed someone to watch our dogs on short notice. She was very accommodating and took great care of our dogs. We will absolutely use her again.
— Stephanie G.
Lauren is a lovely patient lady who loved my Toby almost as much as I do. Toby had such a good time at her home and was very well cared for. Toby has been stressed in the past while boarded but he was happy as a lark with Lauren. She also went out of her way to help me with my car trouble. I couldn’t ask for a better, sweeter Petsitter. I highly recommend Lauren who has expert knowledge of all animals.
— Gita B.
I was a bit spectical about leaving my dogs with a stranger when I first learned of Rover. I found Lauren and read her reviews and thought she would be perfect. I’m glad I chose her. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was available for questions, and when we arrived she gave us a tour and explained how she would introduce her dogs to mine. She sent pictures to me while they were there to show they were doing great. I would highly recommend Lauren. You will not be disappointed.
— Tony C.
I met Lauren while volunteering with a local animal charity. Since then I have entrusted her to care for several of my animals and she has been wonderful and a true piece of mind to leave my fur kids with. I have been to her home and seen first hand how visiting animals are cared for and the hours of interaction they receive. You will not find this care with another provider in the desert. I am a academically trained animal behaviorist and I can attest that Lauren is a natural when it comes to handling any animal, from rabbits to dogs to horses, but importantly she also has the book learning behind her. She is an extremely sharp lady that goes above and beyond to make sure her human and animal customers are taken care of.
As a professional in the animal care industry I’m always careful when giving out recommendations as my own reputation is one the line; with Lauren I do note even hesitate for a second. You are truly lucky if you are able to get your animals in with her and you will never have to think twice about taking that weekend trip or if an emergency arises.
— Ann J.
Lauren did an exceptional job taking care of my boxer while I was away. You could tell the love and passion she has when caring for other peoples pets. Buddy, my boxer, felt right at home while staying with Lauren for a weeks duration. When I came back from vacation, you could tell he was well taken care of. His stay went without any hiccups. I would highly reccommend Lauren to care for you pet whether it be a few hours in a day or an overnight stay. I couldn’t have chosen a better person than her to care for him. I can’t wait to use her again when the need arises.
— Jennifer S.
Would definitely use again. Very pet friendly environment
— Jerry D.
Lauren is the most caring, loving, knowledgeable, pet sitter, she recently took the time and patience to watch my disabled 8 year boxer, who uses a wheelchair and needs special attention. She kept me updated 24/7 on his stay and made me feel relaxed, I would never leave any of my pets with anyone else after working with Lauren! Thank you so much, you made everything so perfect!
— Robery E.
Absolute best!!!
— Clare A.
AMAZING!!! Lauren is such a nice, friendly girl and takes great care of dogs. My baby stayed with her for one night and loved it. He is usually sad without me but he seemed to be incredibly happy at Lauren’s. Thank you so much!!! Definitely recommend!!!
— Hayden R.
Lauren is very knowledgeable and caring. We would certainly recommend her.
— Kathie P.
Lauren is great. We had to drive straight in from Washington and she was flexible with our later arrival time. She’s great with communication and her home is well equipped for dogs with various needs. When we arrived she had other dog there however they were seperated to ensure an easy transition for our guy. She then works on introducing the dogs to each other. I appreciated her care and warm personality. My guy was happy when we picked him up.
— Ashely S.
She made me feel like I was dropping off my kids to a friends house to stay when I was out of town. This is a home not just a place to send your dogs. Her sweatshirt full of puppy hair shows how much she loves them.
— Micheal S.
Lauren is a very savvy dog owner and sitter. I have a female dog who is terrified of men. Lauren has experience working with fearful dogs, as do the men in her life. My female dog had a great time there during daycare. My male dog had an unexpected aggression issue, which Lauren handled perfectly. I highly recommend her as a sitter, and I’ve alrea scheduled an overnight stay. As a volunteer and Board of Directors members at an out-of-state community Humane Society, I am highly confident in Lauren abilities. I would definitely recommend her with more stars if I could.
— Kate H.
Lauren was super flexible with my schedule. She helped me find her place when Google was acting up, AND she sent me a picture of my dog playing. I would definitely recommend her. First class, A+ service!
— Chris G.
Lauren knows how to take care of our dogs. They love her, and so do we. She has tremendous experience, and also works with horses. We are very lucky that she can help us take care of Chase and Dee Dee.
— Barb and Shell/Rancho Mirage, CA
Lauren is so loving and knowledgeable about dogs. She dog sat my 2 fur babies for 2 days. 1st time I ever left them with someone. She sent me pictures and text messages telling how they were doing. She spent time working with one of them and got her to start using the doggie door. I highly recommend Lauren for all your dog sitting needs. She’s the best would not hesitate for a moment to have her watch my babies again.
— Trista G.
We booked Lauren at the last minute and we were very happy with her as a sitter for our Pug, Luke. Lauren took such great care of him and kept us regularly updated! If we are ever in the area again, we will be happy to re-book with Lauren!
— Kevin R.
Lauren is amazing and she really takes care of your dog like it’s her own. My dog loves going there! My dog is taken care of so well when Lauren watches him. I highly recommend Lauren to watch your dogs while your out of town. My dog loves the treats she gives him
— Tommy V.
As soon as I met Lauren I was impressed. She’s a very warm friendly person and my dogs just crawled into her lap as she bent down to meet them for the first time (not something they normally do) Lauren is very knowledgeable and gave me some great tips on some dog care questions I asked her about. My daughter and son-in-law have used her several times to take care of their Pitt and they, like me, were very happy!!! We would highly recommend Lauren.
— Susan W.
Lauren of Best Pawsible Pet Services is AMAZING! While finding a highly competent and compassionate pet sitter is a challenge for the average pet parents, our challenge was greater in that we required the services of a pet sitter for our animal rescue AND personal pets! Lauren exceeded our expectations in that she happily and wonderfully cared for our rescued animals (consisting of house-rabbits and large dogs), our personal pets (house rabbit, cats and dogs) AND a large stray dog who we had been feeding for months in an effort to rescue her (to leave her without care was NOT an option and Lauren gladly cared for her too)!!! Lauren’s experience with various types of animals (including house rabbits) is a huge asset, along with her dependability and consistent communication (so that you KNOW your pet family is happy and well).

We have used her numerous times and each and everyone was a great experience not only for ourselves but especially our pets! We definitely and highly recommend Lauren as someone that will take special care of your beloved animals !

Lauren gave us our lives back as pet owners! We are now able to go away and feel confident that our babies (4 dogs, macaw and turtles ?) will be well cared for. From the start she won our hearts and very cautious animals trust! ❤️️

I have known Lauren for over six years now. Her passion is animals! Her home is a welcoming retreat for dogs. She has numerous kennels~ and has a dedicated ‘doggy dorm’! Her back yard is grassy and like a doggy heaven. Besides the details put into making her home dog friendly~ Lauren herself is truly devoted to each individual animal and their personalities, dietary needs, and overall care. She treats each animal as if they were her own. Lauren currently sponsors pets that are up for adoption...taking one at a time into her home and fostering it until it is adopted. She has volunteered at numerous shelters and events involving pet neutering, adoptions, and general handling, feeding, and loving of animals in/at these places. She pet sits for us when we leave town.....She even trimmed our dog’s nails and bathed him the last time we left! I cannot say enough about this woman’s skills and the love she generously gives to all animals.

Lauren has been caring for my dog Dodger for over 3 years now. She understands dog behavior and is knowledgeable about how to make corrections when necessary. She loves all animals under her care and provides a safe and loving environment. I frequently call Lauren just to get advice about Dodger and she always takes the time to help. I would highly recommend using Lauren as a dog sitter. She’s amazing!

Lauren has cared for our dogs for many years. She is amazing and passionate about animals, and incredibly loving and intuitive with them. I don’t know anyone who is more dedicated to animals than Lauren. She has worked many years with shelter animals, has rehabilitated animals, and helped us find our most current dog, who is absolutely perfect for us. Lauren is always available and helpful, and is very professional. She is even getting a degree in Psychology to enhance her abilities and reinforce her work with dogs, and all animals. Lauren also loves bunnies!

Last year my husband and I visited the Coachella Valley with our dog, Willie. We were referred to Lauren by friends and left Willie in her car for ten days. Willie is a large dog and we were concerned about him getting enough exercise and attention.
We were extremely impressed with Lauren and her care of Willie. Lauren even took the time to instruct Willie on specific commands which has helped us when we now take Willie for a walk.
I highly recommend Lauren for pet sitting.

I have known Lauren for over fifteen years, in these years I have only experienced Lauren to be a compassionate, and reliable individual. Lauren has a grounded character and is highly-knowledgeable of animals. Lauren is not only professional, but she is passionate about working with and providing quality care for animals. It is with great confidence when I say, Lauren will go above and beyond in caring for your pet.
Lauren has personally assisted me in caring for my horses, and dogs alike. I highly recommend Lauren for pet sitting for anyone looking for quality, caring, and professional pet sitting.

Hello my name is Carolina, I am a new pet parent too two little pups. As most of you know it’s not always easy and let alone two pups. However, with the help of Lauren B. I felt so much better and at ease. She not only helped with little tips from kennels training to teething toys. She also allowed me to bring them over and basically coach me through the whole process of what’s to come. She is amazing at what she does and I would recommend her to absolutely anyone. I’ve had the pleasure of watching her work her magic and I’m sure if dogs could speak they would say we love you Lauren B.

Lauren is a dog whisperer. She’s more than a pet sitter. I’ve learned so much about my pet’s needs by having her care for them when I’m gone. My dogs hate when I leave them at the kennel, but they are happy when I take them to Lauren. Sometimes, they don’t want to come home with me. I love it that
— Robert B.
Lauren takes great care of our dogs! We have a German Shepherd and a Labrador Retriever and we trust her completely to make sure they get the exercise and the attention they need while we’re not around. Lauren understands dog behavior and their social behavior, of many different breeds, so we can always trust that our dogs are safe and have good playmates. We trust her 100% with our dogs and would highly recommend her as a pet sitter to anyone who is looking for someone who is knowledgeable and compassionate with dogs.

Lauren is wonderful!!!
We can leave our babies in her care whenever we need to and not worry a bit. We have older dogs that require medication twice a day and it is such a relief to know that they are in such kind and competent hands!
We highly recommend her to our friends and family all the time, with no reservations.
She is loving, knowledgeable and completely dependable.
Best of all - our pets (kitties too!) give her 4 paws and are always happy to see her.

Lauren was great! We were in a bind and needed to find someone quick to watch our pup. Lauren was quick to respond and very helpful! Our dog was in good hands with Lauren which made me very happy!

Cody came home healthy and happy. Lauren seems very knowledgeable about dogs and I believe he was provided good care. We are going away in a few weeks for a couple of days and hope to use Lauren again.
— Rick T.
We loved Lauren and her pack and were so grateful to find her! We used her several times during an extended stay in the desert. I came to town to care for my mom during a major surgery and Lauren gave my two dogs a place to stay where they could have fun too, rather than be stuck in cages at my mom’s. It was a great experience for all of us.
— Kimberly K.
Lauren gave Rudy lots of attention and supervised his interaction with other dogs. He slept in the bed just like he was home! He came home one happy black Chiweenie! He’s going to spend Thanksgiving with Lauren and he can’t wait!
— Aarlene S.

We have been sending our dog to Lauren for years every time we go out of town. He is always so excited when we pull up to her house and runs up to her doorstep! She provides a fun, safe environment for all dogs!
