About: Hi! I’m Lauren, and I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life. I was lucky to have my own dog for 15 wonderful years, and through that experience, I’ve learned the ins and outs of daily care, training, and providing a loving, safe environment. Whether it’s going on long walks, giving belly rubs, or sticking to a pup’s routine, I treat every dog like family. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your dog, and I’m here to offer dependable, attentive care when you need it most. I’m currently between jobs, which means I have full availability to dedicate to your pet’s care. I’m home and flexible 24/7, so I can easily accommodate your dog’s schedule—whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets is a rewarding and natural part of my daily routine right now. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs—whether it’s feeding schedules, exercise, medications, or just extra cuddles. In your home, I make sure to respect your space and keep everything clean and consistent for your pet. In my home, pets get a calm, cozy environment where they’re treated like family. I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can respond to their needs and help them feel secure and loved.
About: I have professional experience working with various types of animal through previous workplaces. Both employers and pet owners have found me thorough and reliable when it comes to caring for animals In need. As a pet owner myself, I care for my animals daily. Given that, I have extensive experience in animal care. I make sure to care for animals within a warm, understanding and gentle approach I have administered medication (specifically insulin injections for a diabetic pup.), aswell as administering pills, antibiotics, ear drops for infections, and allergy medications. I am willing to meet the medical needs of your pet. I also have experience walking and feeding dogs. I am able to walk dogs of all sizes. For larger dogs however, they would need to be well-trained on a leash to ensure both the safety of your dog and myself.For cats, I have experience feeding and cleaning up litter boxes. For small animals, I am able to feed and care for guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, gerbil, Bunnies etc. as long as im given clear instruction. Feel free to message me with any questions in regards to my willingness and abilities!
“Madison took such great care of our cats while we were away! There were lots of mouths to feed and lots of litter to scoop and we really appreciated her care for each and every one of them. The level of communication was perfect and all the pictures were great to see! We definitely recommend her and hope she’ll be available for our next trip too. Such a great feeling to know our cats and our home are in good hands when we are away!”

Abbigail loves to send pics for updates and is also super efficient with questions to make sure she knows exactly what to do. We never worry when we’re away since we know that Abbigail is there🐾🐾”
