About: Hi! I’m Lauren — a lifelong animal lover with decades of hands-on pet care experience. I grew up in a home that always had dogs (usually three!), and I started dog-sitting back in college in the early 2000s. One of my favorite long-term clients had a huge white German Shepherd who growled at everyone. By evening on day one, he was upside down in my lap, getting a belly rub! I had two beloved dogs of my own for 15 years, and now that I have two young kids (and no current pets), I’m looking to share my love with your furry (or scaly!) family member. Whether it’s walks, belly rubs, or snuggle time, I’ll treat your pet like my own. Dogs, cats, snakes, bunnies — you name it, I love them all. 💛 If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing, and genuinely passionate about animals, I’d love to help care for your pet while you’re away! I work for myself, so my schedule is very flexible — I can often accommodate daytime, evening, or even last-minute pet care needs. I’m currently available for daytime, evening, and weekend bookings. I believe pets feel most comfortable in their own home, so I’m happy to care for your dog or cat in their familiar space while you’re away. That said, if you'd prefer your pet stays with me, I do have a safe, fenced-in front yard that's great for larger dogs to get some playtime and fresh air. Inside, your pet will be treated like part of the family — couches are fair game (as long as you’re cool with it!), and my whole family will be happy to shower your pet with love, snuggles, and attention.

“Kellsey was super responsive and accommodating with my same day request for an hour walk. She was friendly and prompt and my pup warmed up to her quickly! Within minutes of getting home from his hour of walking around the neighborhood, he has already gone to nap. We'll be asking for Kellsey again!”

timothy
“I would wholeheartedly recommend Timothy as a pet caregiver. He loves animals, and he has taken tender care of my own animals over the years—walking them, feeding them, and playing with them. My dogs always love to see him coming! He is a very smart, dedicated, and responsible young man, who is currently in the process of studying to become a veterinarian. I have no doubt that he will translate his passion for animals into the best possible care for the pets under his charge.”

Melissa E.
“Melissa has watched my yorkie Gryffin multiple times now and I will keep utilizing her as my only dog sitter. She is great around all animals and is dependable. I don’t trust a lot of people with my dog but I trust her and that says a lot. I never have to worry about my dog when he is with her as I know she loves him like her own and she always provides with me updates on how he is doing. Plus, my dog and her dog Bebe get along great and are always playing. I would highly recommend her.”
