Highlights
Pet care experience
I love animals and nature!
I’ve taken care of cats all of my life, and have a rescued Bichon Frisé along with two cats, for the last 7 years. I supported him with training, and taught him a few tricks myself. Before my university start, I would walk him every morning with another dog owner, and go for coffee which I really enjoyed and will miss a lot whilst completing my studies! He has particular needs, medication and some trauma responses; I am rather familiar with unpredictable or reactive dogs, and dogs that have a vendetta against cyclists and joggers for example! He is a white dog, whom happens to enjoy rolling around in the sunshine so I would also would bathe him a lot (he doesn’t enjoy water much either!). Alongside this I am exceptionally familiar with socialising dogs, including anxious dogs or dogs that have not yet been socialised, playing with them, and receiving lots of furry cuddles! I have taken care of families of dogs with litters, for example an American Akita, French bulldog, and an English bulldog. All along side 2 large litters of newborn puppies. I have a lot of experience with shy and anxious cats. I’m very much the sitter that will have you surprised when your reserved cat is affectionate! I also have experience with kittens, cats with additional needs, senior and reactive cats.

Lauren also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I would ensure my flat is dog safe, tidy and clean; no medication or food lying around! I would follow any information provided by the owner to ensure I am always meeting both the owner and pets needs, ensuring both safety and peace of mind! As for sitting at an owner’s home, I would follow any house rules set, and ensure the home is exactly how they left it, and leave the property with both themselves and their pet is happy!
Ratings and reviews
Lauren made sure that Maldwyn was looked after and allowed his comfort break in the garden. The original plan was for a walk however given the weather that day I suggested to drop in on him instead and make sure his needs were met and he was comfortable before leaving him. Can't ask for better.
Tom and Jerry are always pleased to see Lauren! Always looks after them like they were her own. My goto for pet sitting my cats ❤️
Stepped in at super late notice and was willing to travel and look after our new rescue pup for a long day. Cannot thank Lauren enough for keeping him company and sending me updates which eased my anxiety having left him for the first time. Would absolutely book again
Lauren did a great job looking after my 2 cats on a housesit. Winnie is young and rambunctious and Zara is a calm senior so their needs are quite different and both were cared for perfectly. Great communication and flat looks perfect. Would book again anytime!
Lauren was exceptional and we couldn't have asked for more. She spent the time to meet Poe and us before the booking, instilled us with confidence and asked the important questions to make sure she knew his routine. She gave us updates on how they were getting on and left the house exactly as she found it, asking us about where to put towels and stripping the bed etc. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. We'd highly recommend her.
Lauren looked after my 10-month old puppy during the day when I was in work. I was a bit nervous about leaving my puppy with someone else but after doing a meet and greet with Lauren I felt completely at ease. She was friendly, caring and responsible, and I couldn't be happier with her house and dog sitting services ☺️ Lauren was also really quick at responding to messages and sent me updates during the day. I would definitely ask her to look after my puppy again and highly recommend her to anyone else 😁

Schedule
I’m currently studying, but my timetable is rather short. I have some availability every day, and some days I am fully available! I can also provide morning dog walks before lectures, as well as on my way home or later evenings. I really enjoy going for walks and exploring nature, which has been part of my routine for many years now with my family dog before moving, so I would really both enjoy, and always have time for both animals and walks!
