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!

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!

Information Lauren C. would like to know about your pet

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!

A typical day

I love spending quality time with the pets I watch and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. We’ll enjoy plenty of fun playtime based on their personality and energy level — whether that’s playing fetch, tug-of-war, going on walks, chasing toys, or just having goofy zoomie time around the yard. For the low energy pups - I am always down for some snuggles on the couch!

Loving Pet Sitter & Dog Walker

Pet care experience

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!
