Veterinary Student & Animal Lover!

Hi, I'm Lauren! I am a first year veterinary student at UIUC and animals are my whole life! I cannot wait to make a career as a veterinarian, and until then, I am committed to offering quality petsitting services for animals in the area. From having many of my own pets to running a pet care business and working at a doggy day care facility, I have experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I volunteered at 4 different veterinary clinics throughout my undergraduate degree and have experience with primary care and emergency medicine. I can offer any pet a safe and happy visit which will be personalized to their needs and your schedule! **Please contact me for specific weekend availability**

Safety, trust & environment

I believe that pets deserve as much love, attention, and exercise as possible! As a house sitter or dog walker, I give each animal my undivided attention and lots of pets! I will tailor their exercise to their age and breed, making sure they get appropriate exercise and outdoor time. I love playing with pets and will find your dog or cat's favorite toy to entertain them. I can also promise lots of baby talk for your fur babies!

Lauren was truly wonderful, she took the best care of our older dog. He is normally shy of new people, but took to her right away. Between all the walks, play time, and ear scratches, I could tell he was in the best hands while we were gone. She was on time, attentive, very communicative and friendly. She is also very knowledgeable about pets. Highly recommend!

Lauren is an amazing cat sitter! Super responsive, incredibly proactive, and genuinely caring. She noticed a scratch on my cat, kept an eye on it, and made sure it healed up. Plus, Leonard got tons of snuggles and playtime. She went way beyond what’s normal—truly exceptional care.

Please let me know what breed your dog is and what their activity level is. Also, let me know where to find treats, your dog’s favorite toy(s), and any tricks they can do! If you have a cat, let me know if they like pets and playing or if they prefer to be left alone.
