Highlights
Pet care experience
Remote Worker & Lifelong Pet Lover
I've been a devoted pet parent for over 18 years, caring for both senior cats and dogs with all the love and attention they deserve. I currently care for my goofy, senior pup, Jurado, who has joint concerns, so I’m well-versed in the patience, gentleness, and special care our aging companions need. I recently said goodbye to my cat Miss Dora after 16 beautiful years together—she was truly my soulmate. I love both cats and dogs equally. The more the merrier! Every pet has their own personality and needs, and I find joy in connecting with each one on their terms. Having lived the corporate grind and relied on pet care services myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family with someone. Now that I work remotely, I’m excited to bring that same support and peace of mind to other pet parents. I'm also highly detail-oriented and take pride in following specific care routines to the letter (administering medications, sticking to feeding schedules, supporting mobility needs, etc). Your pets will be treated with the same love and respect I give my own.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Lauren and family were amazing with Frisbee. I can’t thank them enough for keeping him not only safe and sound, but truly happy while I was away. Between walks, naps, snuggles, and play time he was well loved. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone seeking a sitter and I look forward to using her for future travel. Thank you again for providing peace of mind for me and a safe and loving landing space for Frisbee. We appreciate you!
Lauren is a wonderful caregiver for pets. As someone who has the honor to have known her pets, I can speak to their happiness and obedience. She also has an unrivaled eye for precision and detail. She is extremely empathetic. She’s also incredibly passionate about performing at the highest capability of any job.
I couldn’t recommend Lauren highly enough as a pet sitter. Her love and compassion for animals not only ensures your pet will be well cared for but speaks volumes about her character. 12 years ago on a visit to the rescue centre, she met Jurado, just a puppy, malnourished, aggressive, afraid. Wouldn’t let anyone near him. But he recognized something in Lauren. Home they went. With patience, consistency and love, he’s the sweetest, happiest dog you could meet. A gentle soul. Lauren also looked after Dora, her beloved cat for 17 years, giving her a long, safe and happy life. Your pet couldn’t be in better hands.
Jessica is a true animal lover. She has watched my cat countless times over the years and I always knew he would be well loved while we were gone. Your pets will be in wonderful hands under her care.
Lauren is an incredibly responsible and caring pet caregiver. She’s attentive, patient, and truly treats all dogs and cats under her care like her own. She's attentive to the special needs of different pets and treats them all like family. There is no doubt that your babies will be more than happy and safe in her care.

Schedule
As a remote worker, my schedule is flexible and fully pet-friendly. I'm home throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, timely meals, potty breaks, and lots of love. I structure my workday around their needs, whether it’s a quick walk, a play session, or simply keeping them company. Weekends are also open for pet care, so I’m available for both weekday and weekend bookings. Your pet’s routine becomes part of mine.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I follow your instructions closely and keep routines consistent to help pets feel safe and grounded. I'm attentive to changes in behavior or health, and I’m always happy to provide updates so you never feel out of the loop. In my home, I have a fully fenced-in yard, very walkable neighborhood, and can crate if requested. I make sure spaces are pet-friendly and supervised, especially for senior pets who may need extra support navigating stairs or slick floors. I treat every pet like family, with kindness, patience, and lots of affection.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day with me can include anything your pet may need: plenty of play, fresh air, and affection. I can tailor visits to each pet’s personality and energy level. For dogs, that might mean walks around the neighborhood, backyard playtime in my fenced-in yard, scent enrichment activities, or a cozy nap session. For cats, it could be window watching, play sessions with toys (have you heard of all the things we can do with cardboard box?!), or curling up in a sunny spot with company nearby. I will build the day around your pet’s routine, including meals, potty breaks, and any special care instructions. I love getting to know each pet’s quirks and favorite activities whether that’s burning off energy or just being near a calm human presence. My goal is always to make them feel safe, stimulated, and loved while you're away.
