Highlights
Pet care experience
Day/night visits & long stays 🐱🐶
Hi! I live in Bristol, work from home, and am very flexible with where I can work from. I really miss having pets, but I travel a lot for work so I don't want to commit to my own pet. Pet sitting has been a great way for me to spend time with animals these past few years, and got me all around the UK, in Scotland, Cornwall, Bristol and more! I've mainly pet sat dogs (up to 4 at a time!) and cats but happy to look after other animals too. I work in the animal protection sector, so I'm very much committed to animals, their welfare, and it is a pleasure for me to be able to spend some time with them. I see this as a sort of mutual favour! Don't hesitate to contact me if you need any help with your furry companions.

Ratings and reviews
Came back to a very happy cat. Lauren was a great sitter and provided lots of updates and pictures
Lauren is a wonderful sitter who we wouldn’t hesistate to recommend! She sat our rescue dog Daisy at our house whilst we went away for a night and day to London and made us feel totally reassured by sending lots of lovely updates and pictures of Daisy, who clearly had the best time! Despite Daisy treating Lauren to all of her quirks in just a few walks - giant crazy stick thrashing, squirrels, found tennis balls and “must sniff” smells - Lauren took it all in her stride, and built a lovely bond with Daisy very quickly. Thank you Lauren and Daisy can’t wait for your next hangout together soon!
Lauren A. cancelled a booking 4 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Lauren was really helpful and looked after our dog with very little notice. She responded quickly to my request. She saved the day! Lauren kept in touch with me throughout the day, sending me pics and coco was relaxed and happy with her. I highly recommend Lauren, and will definitely be booking coco in again.
Amazing first house sit from Lauren, who Daisy loved from the moment she met her! Lauren is clearly a very experienced dog sitter and animal lover who understands that different dogs have different needs. She was careful to understand Daisy’s specific requirements, behaviour and character traits before the sit began and really good at giving reassuring updates throughout the day. Lauren is coming back to sit Daisy again in a couple of weeks which Daisy can’t wait for!
Lauren was the perfect cat sitter for us whilst we were away! She was very quick to respond to messages, really flexible, and provided great regular updates and lots of pictures. Reg immediately warmed to her, and we came home to one very chilled out and happy cat. She was also great helping out with medication for the cat whilst we were away, which meant we didn't need to stress. We'd really recommend her, and would book again in a heartbeat. Thanks Lauren!

Schedule
I work from home so it's easy for me to either have your pets at mine, to stay at yours or to come visit when needed, whether it's on the weekends, during the week, or on holidays / bank holidays. I also don't have kids so my schedule is very flexible.

Safety, trust & environment
I always ensure that there is a thorough handover between the pet owners and myself, to understand routines, commands, feeding times, habits, medical issues to be aware of, etc. Dogs and cats are creatures of habits and I think it's important to make sure their routines are as little disrupted as possible. I tend to send daily updates with photos, and give your pet(s) as much or as little attention as they wish to. I'm here for them and to help you!
