Big small young old I love them all
Pet care experience
I volunteer with Muttville Senior Dog Rescue, and I’ve done dog walking and dog and cat sitting throughout my life for friends and clients. I have a sweet chihuahua/min pin mix named Anya, and she's the cuddliest little goon. I love meeting new dogs and cats, and especially seniors and couch cuddlers.
Reviews
Lauren takes excellent care of our two kitties. Even our shy kitty came out to play with her. She is completely dependable and trustworthy. I highly recommend her!
Lauren took great care of our cat Arthur and was accommodating when we had key issues. Thanks again!
Lauren has won-over my very standoffish kitties. She spent quality time with them and took great care of them too. I’m so thankful to know they’re in amazing hands while I’m away.
Lauren took great care of our cats!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I only do drop-in visits in the client's home and dog walks. Whenever possible, I always prefer to meet ahead of time to get to know you, your pet(s), and see where you keep everything (food, water bowl, litter box, leash, etc). I'm happy to also water plants or bring in packages if you'd like. I love cats and dogs, and will look after your pets as if they were my own.
Information Lauren B. would like to know about your pet
Dogs: What kind of harness do they use? Are they reactive to other dogs? Do they have any favorite walking routes? Do they try to eat food off the sidewalk? Where can I find their food, bowls, harness, leash, toys, etc? Do they have any triggers? Cats: Do they like to play or cuddle? Do they have any typical hiding spots? Where can I find their food, bowls, litter box, etc? Where and how do you prefer to dispose of the poop and clumped litter?
A typical day
I love taking my own dog to neighborhood parks where she can sniff and make friends and roll around in the grass. Every dog has different preferences, and I'd love to take yours to whichever neighborhood spots they like best. As for cats, I like to take care of their food, water, and litter first so they get used to me in the house and see that I'm the new provider of food (for the time being!). Then I settle in on the couch and let them come to me whenever they feel comfortable. I'm happy to cuddle on the couch or play with toys, depending on their personality and preferences.

Lauren can watch in your home
Availability
I pet sit full time, so my schedule is very flexible, depending on other bookings. I don’t have a car, so I prefer to look after pets that live within a mile or so of me.
