I love animals and nature!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of cats for most of my life, however have a rescued Bichon Frisé along with two cats, for the last 4 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 recently have been taking care of a family of dogs: an American Akita, French bulldog, and an English bulldog. All along side 2 large litters of newborn puppies. I took care and walked both bulldogs whilst in heat, and supported them through their pregnancies! I have fed them following their indivisible routines and diet, and especially spent a lot of time playing with the American Akita for his large amount of energy within the families fenced in garden.

Lauren looked after our cat Sam for 5 days recently, with drop in visits at our apartment every day. Lauren was fantastic with Sam, who is a very timid cat at first. Lauren was very patient with her and obviously has the magic cat touch and Sam made a new best friend very quickly! She gave Sam lots of fuss everyday and completely put our mind at ease whilst we were away. Lauren is lovely, completely trustworthy and great on all the comms, both before and during the visits. Would highly recommend and would love to have Lauren back again to look after our cat.

Lauren looked after our 6 month old, very energetic, golden retriever for the day and did a great job! He was walked, fed and played with and was a happy pup when we got home! Definitely recommend to any looking for a concientious, trustworthy pet sitter.

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!

Information Lauren C. would like to know about your pet

I have no preferences for breeds etc, since having a long history of personal experience with a dog with particular behaviours and triggers, I am able to allocate for the indivisible dog’s needs and behaviour if aware. However I would like as much information as possible ahead of time, such as how the dog is with people, other dogs, any potential behavioural triggers, dietary or training information, any medical issues or medication, feeding times, and just what the dog loves or dislikes in general! As for the owner’s walking preferences.

A typical day

I’d bring any of your pet’s favourite toys for our walk, and treats (if allowed and as and when!), explore the area and play. Along with walking somewhere quiet and rural if your pet prefers not to socialise- all depending on the dog’s needs! I do love beaches, so it would be lovely to take dogs there for walks, or on some peaceful forest walks.

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!
