About: I was an animal care manager for five years. I oversaw all care for various different species, ensuring they all received the best care possible and to the company’s protocol. I have also volunteered at a local shelter for the past two years, which has led me to do lots of pet sitting outside of the shelter for fellow volunteers. I have also done lots of semi-feral cat socialization in foster homes to help aid stray cats into becoming adoptable! I love dogs as well and have always been around dogs my whole life. I enjoy pet sitting so much and I strive to make your pet as happy as possible! I have free availability at the moment which makes me very flexible in terms of pet care. I am willing to work with you for any times that you need! I can easily adapt to any routine you may have with your fur baby. I follow directions well and love the pets as if they were my own.

“Emily was wonderful with our Great Dane! She was prompt, kind and patient with her. She was very in tune with our pups needs during their walks, and was so mindful on the very hot days to take it slow or return for water when needed. Our pup is known to have some undesirable behavior on walks, and Emily came a few days early to meet her, learn her nuances and took notes so she was prepared to manage it. Looking forward to working with Emily again!”

About: Love both cats and dogs. Love both species..I am available from Nov. 15th thru May 1st in Florida and in MA from May 15th thru October 31st.. I have a very good repour with both cats and dogs. All my neighbors have animals, mostly dogs, and they all have taken to me. People that have animals need someone to care for their pets and love their pets just as much as the owners due and it's very important to find those special type of people and I think that I am one of those persons. Love them all and care for them like their human beings and sometime they are! My daily routine depends on what the animal requires of me. Walking is very important to a dog and they like to get out and smell their surroundings. I will take dogs out if needed by the clients during the day or whenever needed by them. Two to three times a day if needed

About: I’ve taken care of animals since before I can remember. Experienced in dog sitting, walking, calming down and grooming, with a wide range of dog types, and ages. I have a very bubbly personality, and I enjoy staying active. I’m currently working part-time one to two days a week so I have a very open schedule to take dogs on daily walks or sit when they need be. I’ve cared for pets in many different ways from walking to sitting to giving medication and providing comfort when anxious or scared. My dog in particular does not do well around loud noises so needs to be comforted during those times and cared for carefully.

About: I grew up with two German Shepherds, Duke and Thor. Eventually after Duke passed away we got Brie who was a "K9 drop out". My brother has a German Shepherd named Kai, my dad has a 3 legged chocolate lab, Bixby, and two cats, Socks and Olaf, that I frequently care for. I am familiar with small, medium, and large breeds. Dogs with behavioral issues, food aggression or dogs that require specific instructions. I am an early riser, I go to the gym and run before work. If you have a high energy dog, I am a good fit for you. I will make sure your pup is tired by the end of our visit. I will make sure your pet is safe by making sure there are no hazards and if we go for a walk I will keep your pet on a leash and protected against any threat. I have had many dogs off leash run up to myself and a clients dog and I always put myself in-between my clients dog and the others.
“Lauren is amazing with my dog, Penny! She is super responsible and responsive. I warned her that my dog can be a little nervous around new people but she immediately loved her! She takes her for weekly walks and Penny gets super excited every time. I highly recommend booking with Lauren!”

I have my own dog named Finley who is a mini Australian shepherd. I would love to help attend and take care of your fur babies!! I’ve decided I want to switch my job and do something I love more which is to be with animals! I have lots of free time coming up and would love to spend it with more dogs! I have a big yard, and live on a bog which means lots of fun walks and adventures! My dog loves running and being outside playing fetch, and I would of course do any dogs favorite thing such as walks, swims, fetch, and more! My dog gets crated as needed, and of course if your fur baby is under my care then I will be going by your rules and how you prefer things for your dog.
About: I’ve been around animals all my life and am comfortable with all kinds, big and small. Ive dog and cat sat for friends before and enjoy spending time with the animals.
