Loving Pet Sitter & Dog Walker

I’ve been pet sitting for both cats and dogs, as well as dog walking, since I was 14 years old. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior dogs and cats who need a gentler approach. My long-term experience has taught me how to handle different personalities, routines, and special care needs with patience and reliability. I also have experience administering medication via syringes to my cat if your fur baby requires it!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I provide attentive and personalized care for each pet, making sure their routines and needs are met with patience and consistency. Living in a two-bedroom townhouse with my own cat, Toby, I understand the importance of a clean, calm, and pet-friendly space. I make sure pets feel comfortable around me, whether it’s through regular playtime, feeding, grooming, or simply giving them the love and companionship they need. I treat every pet as if they were my own!

Dog Walking • May 14, 2026

Lauren was absolutely amazing, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog. I booked her for a 30-minute walk every day around noon, and I told her I was very flexible with timing. She was always reliable and showed up when scheduled, but what really stood out to me was how much she genuinely cared about my puppy. Even though the walks were booked for 30 minutes, she constantly went above and beyond. Whether it was an extra minute, five minutes, or even ten, she never seemed rushed and truly spent quality time with my dog. After every walk, I didn’t just get one quick picture. I would get several adorable photos along with detailed updates about everything they did. She would let me know about their walk, any interactions they had, and even small thoughtful things like cleaning out his water bowl. You can tell Lauren is not just doing this as a job. She genuinely loves dogs and enjoys spending time with them. That kind of care, attention, and thoughtfulness is rare, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing my puppy was in such good hands. I’m so grateful for her and will absolutely book with her again!

Lauren did an excellent job looking after Koda. We felt very comfortable leaving Koda with her and I am sure that Koda got lots of attention and had a great time. We were visiting Raleigh for the weekend, when we visit again we hope she will be available to take care of Koda again. Thanks Lauren!

Lauren took such great care of my two cats while I was away! She took the time to clean their litter boxes, feed them and even got playtime in during her visits. Would highly recommend!

Lauren has watched our pets for us many times, and we cannot recommend her enough! She is very respectful, reliable, sweet and our pets adore her. We have two dogs (one very anxious pup and one very needy pup) as well as two cats, and they absolutely love Lauren! She has stayed at our house while we've been out of town and always sent the best photos and many updates too, which helped put my fur mama heart at ease! You cannot go wrong when booking with Lauren. I am sure your pets will love her so much! She will love them like her own!

I currently work full time throughout the week, but have a ton of flexibility in the mornings, lunch time, and evenings to care for your fur baby! I am also always up for a weekend service as well. I absolutely love going on walks and hikes, so I'd be happy to take your pup along with me any time Friday evening -Sunday!

Please let me know if your fur baby has any specific quirks! Whether that’s being a little scared of other humans or doggies, loud noises, or if they’re just simply a little shy. I want to make sure they are comfortable any time they are in my care!
