Highlights
Pet care experience
I ❤️ pitties and kitties
I would love to take care of your furbaby! I have several years of past experience working at animal hospitals and a year of volunteer experience at the ASPCA animal shelter. I offer boarding with only one pet family booked at a time. I also offer house-sitting and love how it is a great option for some pets who feel most comfortable in their own home. I also make sure to keep your home at least as clean and tidy as I found it. I usually stay overnight for the pet's care needs, but if you are looking for just morning to evening or partial day house-sitting, message me for a custom rate. Whether boarding or house-sitting, I will do my best to adhere to your furbaby's normal routine. I have a knack for relaxing anxious/shy/reactive pets and have quite a lot of experience winning them over. I would be happy to do a meet-n-greet in a large outdoor space for your pup to warm up to me on neutral ground. I've cared for the full spectrum of dog sizes and ages. With older pets, I go slowly and make sure not to startle them if they're sleeping, as they may not see or hear me come in. I like to discuss how I can accommodate any special needs your pet may have. Extra plus if your pet is a cuddler! I look forward to getting to know all of your pets' personality traits and quirks! I LOVE hearing stories about the weird things your pets do that make them unique! :D

Ratings and reviews
Lauren watched and walked my dogs while I was at work. I really appreciated it. She took so many photos and my dogs had a lot of fun. She kept them safe and happy. I will definitely book her again.
Lauren was absolutely amazing with our cats Kota & Keanu. She made sure to give us plenty of picture updates and was very attentive while we were away for the weekend. This was our first time boarding our cats at someone’s home and we were definitely very happy we chose Lauren for them to stay with. She will definitely be our go-to from now on for any future trips! Thank you again Laura, Kota & Keanu can’t wait for their next stay!
Lauren was wonderful it was great getting the photos and it was so obvious the cats were being well cared for. It made being away so much easier
Lauren was a great rover! She was very accommodating to a last minute holiday booking and she did amazing with our cats, even getting our shy girl to come out for some attention. We would definitely recommend Lauren if you are looking for a great pet sitter!
Lauren was absolutely AMAZING...Mars loved her! Mars is recovering from surgery and i needed someone who would keep him calm and happy at the same time. She exceeded my expectations and i would highly recommend her. We were just in town for an event and only needed her one night but if she lived by us....she would be my go to sitter!
Lauren is fantastic! She’s helped us out for a few years now and every time, I know our dog is in great hands. Benny will be ecstatic to see her the next time she stays with us!

Schedule
I work from home and can often accommodate same day requests for walks, drop-ins, and house-sitting. I do my best to follow your pet's normal routine.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I like to go slow when meeting new furbabies, especially if you tell me they are shy or anxious. I use a few calming techniques that have shown to be effective. I like a challenge! It's so rewarding watching the transformation of a cat/dog go from showing defensive/protective behavior to them rubbing up on me or giving me kisses. Earning their trust is the best!
A typical day
I love to provide enrichment for your pet ie. playing tug-of-war, laser pointer, tossing balls around, walks, cuddles, setting up puzzle toys, kongs, watching Animal Planet, etc.
