Experienced Animal Sitter, Walker, and Cuddler 🐾

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Lauren, and I can’t wait to meet your pet(s)! I’m a massive animal lover with a wealth of experience. As a child, my busy family had no time for a dog, so I’ve made up for that by volunteering, housesitting, and working with animals any chance I get. I grew up with cats back in Canada — my beautiful Sid is the black cat wearing the bowtie in my photos — but have none of my own here in England. I’ve looked after numerous pets of all different species and sizes — from the smallest gecko, to the largest mixed breed pup. No animal is too small, too big, too young, or too old. I also have extensive experience with rescue animals. I’ve volunteered at local shelters and a world-class sanctuary, supporting and socialising animals with separation anxiety, fearful tendencies, and other behavioural issues stemming from difficult circumstances. I’m happy to provide home visits, lengthy walks, and housesitting. It’s my priority to keep your animal(s) happy and healthy! I can’t wait to meet your pet! 🤗

Lauren and Eion were brilliant friendly sitters for our dog who bonded very quickly with them. They were flexible regarding our last minute time changes. We would highly recommend them!

Lauren looked after our 8-month old Springer Spaniel for c24 hours - and was absolutely wonderful! Our little boy was well-taken care of with lots of love, attention and fun! Would definitely recommend Lauren! 👍

Lauren was great - she obviously got on really well with our dog and cat, and was very accommodating about timings. We would definitely use her again.

Lauren sat our sweet but nervous rescue pup for the second time. Molly was very excited to see her now good friend and found Lauren to be an excellent sleepover buddy for her first night without us. Lauren is a caring and compassionate animal lover who we can't recommend highly enough for sitting nervous pets.

Information Lauren C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any special requirements your pet might have. I know the pandemic has been tough on not only humans but also animals. Separation anxiety seems to be increasing since our pets are so used to us being home! With this in mind, I want to manage your pet’s stress as best as possible. I’d love to know any small comforts that can ease these kinds of transitions, too.

A typical day

For canine companions, we’ll go for walks through Aston’s Eyot, South Parks, University Parks, or further down the river! For the more adventurous, we’ll take a longer hike to Shotover or Port Meadow. I’d implement plenty of play time in during the day as well cuddles for animals of all species.

I recently completed my Ph.D. at the University of Oxford. I work from home at this stage, so I can guarantee constant companionship and cuddles. Dog walking has also been a great way for me to break up the day (and stop staring at my screen). 🥰
