Lover of all animals!
Pet care experience
I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life (17+ cats/kittens and 2 dogs), and when I lived with my parents, I was the primary caregiver for my cats. My dog was a shared responsibility between me and someone else in my house, and he’s brought for multiple walks everyday (rain or shine!) Now, Zeus lives with me, and we spend most of our days at work but when we’re home we like relaxing, going for walks of course, car rides, and occasionally to the dog park. I work about 30 hours a week at the KRAH doggy daycare, and since it’s such an active job, when I’m off I enjoy relaxing and going for sniff-walks with Zeus. He’s pretty tired at the end of the day so he’s content taking it easy. I seem to get along with all animals i meet, and I love them all! I’ve been feeding, brushing, and walking all my animals I’ve ever had, and have no problem treating someone’s pet as my own. Working with animals doesn’t feel like working at all! Whenever I’m looking after a pet, whether they are a cat, dog, or anything else, I treat them as if they were my own. Unconditional love is a must! I try to go for multiple walks if they need exercise, cuddle, play with toys, grooming, etc. I like keeping things clean, so water and food bowls are cleaned every time they’re refilled. If the owner is comfortable with it, I like cleaning the house as best I can!
Reviews
Lauren & Zeus were great! They house sat & took care of our dog Toast for the weekend. He went on lots of walks and swims and had a great dog friend to play with. He’s happy and well taken care of! Lauren was very communicative and sent lots of pictures - our mind was at ease. She also left our house super tidy. Would hire again!
Lauren done an amazing job looking after my kitty! She went above and beyond and you can tell she is a true animal lover! Would recommend her to anyone :)
Excellent service: she cared for my two kitties for over two weeks, ensuring they had food, water, & clean litter boxes. I highly recommend her service!
Lauren took care of my 2 cats while I was away for a friend's wedding, and I have nothing but positive things to say about her service. She went above and beyond and took such good are of my fur babies. The pictures that I received from each visit were the icing on the cake for sure! Would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a trustworthy and caring petsitter!

Since I also have my roommates cat living with me, I am unable to host boarding in my house, however if Zeus can come along I am comfortable taking care of someone’s house and pet as if it was my own. Drop-in visits and walks are perfectly fine and can be done with Zeus by my side, or he can be left home if needed!
Information Lauren A. would like to know about your pet
I’d love to know about any allergies or dietary preferences, as well as any rules the owner may have for their dog (i.e. no more than three treats per day), just to make sure i don’t upset any bellies!
A typical day
I love going for walks anywhere! It’s fun to try different locations each walk to keep things interesting. Going to the dog park is also a favourite of mine as long as the dogs are comfortable around others!

Availability
If given enough notice, I can arrange my work schedule to fit the needs of any pet as long as the circumstances are right! I work most Saturdays until 6, am off every Sunday, but my schedule changes throughout the week. Sometimes I have the help of my boyfriend Luke, as long as that’s okay with the pet parent!
