Pet care experience
Animal-loving mature student 🐾
Hi, I’m Lauren and I’m 27. I have years of experience caring for both cats and small dogs through family pets, as well as owning a lovely, playful Siberian cat myself. I understand that pets need plenty of love, attention, and play, especially when their owners are away and their routine has changed. Alongside my love for animals, I have recently worked in front-facing customer service roles in both a hospital and an international school. These roles have taught me the importance of responsibility, reliability, and providing a caring, reassuring experience, which are qualities I believe are just as important when looking after someone’s beloved pet. As a pet owner myself, I know how worrying it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care. That’s why I understand how important it is to find a sitter who will take the time to understand your pet’s individual needs, helping them feel happy, calm, and comfortable. My aim is to be someone you can trust and rely on, knowing your pet is in safe and caring hands. I decided to start pet sitting because I really miss my own cat, who is currently living with my boyfriend while I’m studying at university and staying in student accommodation. I’d be delighted to spend time caring for other people’s pets, giving them the same love, attention, and affection that I’d want for my own.

Safety, trust & environment
As I currently live in student accommodation, I’m unable to offer pet boarding in my own home. However, when caring for pets in their own home, I will always make their safety, comfort, and wellbeing my top priority. I will ensure that anything potentially harmful is kept safely out of your pet’s reach and that your home is left exactly as you expect. I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, play, exercise (where appropriate), and affection while maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible. Before our booking starts, I’ll take the time to learn about your pet’s individual needs, including their feeding schedule, any allergies or medical conditions, medications, exercise requirements, and any likes, dislikes, or behaviours I should be aware of. I’ll also monitor their eating, drinking, and toilet habits to make sure everything is normal, and I’ll let you know straight away if I notice anything that concerns me. I would like to provide a safe, calm, and caring environment where your pet feels happy and secure while you’re away, giving you complete peace of mind.
Ratings and reviews
I would highly recommend Lauren for dog and cat sitting, she has taken care of our two cockerpoo, s Co co(a puppy) and Mars many times and they have always been pleased to see her when she comes to visit. She as always made sure they are looked after and cared for properly and we would completely trust herto care for our dogs again.
Lauren has taken care of my 3 Maine Coons numerous times for myself and my husband, and I cannot recommend her enough! She always goes above and beyond to care for our babies, not just their basic care, but she also makes sure to give them lots of loves, grooms them and plays with them. The girls can be really nervous around other people, so it's absolutely amazing that she has gained their trust and it able to spend time with them without them running and hiding. Our boy, is also completely deaf, and Lauren makes sure to pay special attention caring for him, to make sure he's able to do the same things the others can do, even if it does mean running around after him a little more! It pleases me that the kitties are so excited when she comes to the door, as I know they're not only in safe hands, but they have built up a bond so they can still enjoy their time away from us (Maine Coons are very demanding and require a lot of attention, so we could never leave them by themselves for too long).
I would highly recommend Lauren as a pet sitter, she has looked after my three cats Willow, Billy and Lucky various times over the last 2 years. Each with their own temperments and needs which she met perfectly, she spent lots of time with them and was great for comunication, would easily use her again for cat sitting.
Lauren has been around my dogs since she was a child German shepherd and westies and has always shown lots of love and care towards them as well as taking the time to learn about them correctly and take them for walks .she's reliable and trustworthy and I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a dog/cat sitter .she has looked after my westies lots of times over the years including staying overnight and house sitting for wkends she's always done a great job with making sure they were happy and kept safe.

Schedule
I will be at uni typically 4 days a week 9am-5.30pm with a 1 hour break at lunchtime, so during weekdays (depending on distance) I can stop by in the morning, at lunchtime and again in the evening for feedings, toilet breaks and attention 🐾 On my 1 weekday off and weekends I am fully available to visit or stay overnight.
