Pet care experience

Animals are the source of true joy!

I have always had animals around me since birth. Dogs and Cats mostly but some turtles and frogs over the years too:) I work from home and currently have 2 dogs (Big Lab and Little terrier) and a kitty cat. I am excited to branch out from sitting for my friends and family's fur babies to meeting other local playmates. I am very attentive to each personality and want to make sure each is comfortable and has fun. My large South Austin yard is fully fenced, and my boys love to make new friends. My cat Lucy tends to nap and avoid dog visitors- unless tuna is involved, LOL. All animals are allowed on the furniture and bed, but I do own a large crate if that is the preferred routine.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced yard in South Austin. My boys come and go as they please to the backyard for play or to potty. My little dog, Uncle Randy, is known to wander if he sniffs an opportunity, so I regularly check the privacy fence to make sure it is secure. Baloo (my big lab) will want to play with guests after a good sniff but normally gets distracted shortly after by his tennis ball. Uncle Randy (my Rat Terrier/ Chihuahua) barks at new guests but then tends to ignore them and wants more snuggles. My boys are best friends and snuggle up every night. I have never had an emergency while sitting other people's pets but I know the closest/best South Austin ER vet clinics from my 20years of living in this neighborhood.

Lauren loves animals! She is especially good with dogs, and isn't afraid of big pups. She is super attentive, responsible, and happy to play with your pups. She's friendly and easy to communicate with, too. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs.
