Hi! My name is Lauren and I've always loved working with animals and started back on 2016 walking dogs. I then worked for Above and Beyond Pet Services based in Watertown from 2021 until 2023. I've been caring for animals for almost a decade and this is my first time back on Rover since going back to school. I love caring for animals and I find they tend to trust me. I pay close attention to their personality and needs, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I have experience working with bunnies, dogs, rodents, and have the most experience with cats. I'm attentive, caring, and good at getting pets active through playing with toys or going for walks. I also have experience with plant care and can complete light to medium household tasks (cleaning, getting mail, and etc.) I have a reliable car, and am familiar with Massachusetts. I am from here and have been in the greater Boston area for 8 years. I love exploring and don't mind a commute especially when planned in advance. Overall, I love animals and treasure the time I get to spend providing care for my clients furry family membersSee more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

A house sitter watches your house while you are away for work or vacation, or if you have to be away for an extended period. House sitters can also provide pet-sitting services, staying in your home and caring for your pet while you are away. The house sitter can say overnight in your home while you’re gone, or stop by once a day to ensure everything is in order if your pet doesn’t need overnight supervision. Reptiles and most cats are just fine with daily visits and feeding.

House sitting provides major advantages to the homeowner. A regular presence in your house deters break-ins and theft. Home safety issues such as water leaks get noticed and dealt with right away, so you don’t come home to big problems. A house sitter can bring in your mail daily, care for your houseplants, and provide home safety and peace of mind.

House sitting can help keep your home safe and well cared for so you can be worry-free while you’re away for work or play. There are several steps you can take to make sure you hire a trustworthy house sitter and do your part to be a responsible host. One of the best ways to ensure a safe home is to hire a professional house sitter. Here are some key points to look for when hiring a house sitter:

  • Reviews and referrals: When searching for a house sitter, always read reviews. Previous experiences will indicate how the house sitter will care for your home while you’re away.
  • Contract: Sign a clearly written contract outlining services to be provided (e.g., mail in each day by 5 p.m.), the daily rate you are paying, and how long the services will be provided. You can also include any agreed-upon house rules in the written contract.
  • Your part: Leave important phone numbers (vet, emergency contact, etc.) and information on where to find emergency items like the circuit breaker and the fire extinguisher, and have a credit card on file with the veterinarian in case of emergencies if the house sitter is watching your pets.
