About: I’ve had dogs my whole life! I have helped friends and families take care of their fur babies for about 9 years now, from feeding, to walking, and even snuggling, I’ve always been there when they needed! I even have my own fur baby Athena. I’m currently a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open! I love a good chance to love on people’s fur babies though! I have a fenced in yard and cozy home for fur babies, while I am not currently accepting in home due to my dog currently, I would more than love to come feed and take care of yours!

About: I am an avid animal lover and always have been. I have two dogs and a cat of my own and know how stressful it can be to find a petsitter that you can trust, so I strive to be that person for other people. My pets are my absolute best friends, so I take care of other pets like I want mine to be taken care of. Something that may set me apart from others is that I am knowledgeable in senior care. I had a cat that went through kidney failure that required daily medicine and IV fluids. I have also administered insulin to a cat. I am comfortable administering medicine. I am also comfortable taking care of all species, including farm animals. I can be contacted on my Facebook page, Lauren's Petsitting, for hpuse sitting, cheaper rates and more information. Petsitting is the only job that I have, so I have a fairly flexible schedule. I am usually available and okay with last minute bookings. I am big on following and respecting my clients' wishes for their pets while they are gone. Any directions that they have will be followed VERY closely. I always ask that my clients leave as detailed of a list as possible of instructions that they want me to follow.
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to calm seniors. I’m patient, attentive, and flexible to each pet’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with administering medications, training basic commands, and handling special diets. My passion is making every pet feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I dedicate specific times each day for walks, play, and feeding to ensure pets get the attention they deserve. I’m flexible with scheduling and can adjust to early mornings, evenings, or weekends to fit your needs. Whether it’s a quick check-in or a longer stay, I’m committed to providing consistent, loving care I prioritize safety and comfort above all. In my home or yours, I ensure pets have a clean, secure environment where they can relax and play freely. I keep hazardous items out of reach and closely monitor their behavior to prevent any risks. I communicate regularly with owners to provide updates and build trust, so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands
