Pet care experience

Born and bread with household pets!

I've had pets since I was 6 years old and have taken care of animals of all sizes! I looked after and trained my mum's 12-week-old Border Collie in lockdown and grew up with a brilliant Boxer dog called Luna, who lived until she was 18 years old. I also had a cat called Zelda, who lived up to her legendary name.

Couldn't recommend or give enough thanks for how my dog was looked after whilst we were away. The perfect dog sitters. Regular and informative updates and photos and videos...house spotless when we got back. But most of all I could tell that my dog was loved and cared for as we do for her and that she was in safe hands. Real peace of mind. Would 100% use again

Lauren did an absolutely amazing job looking after our two dogs, Duke and Bradley, while we were travelling internationally. From the moment we met her, she was professional, warm, and confident — which gave us total peace of mind while being so far from home. Our dogs were so well cared for — happy, relaxed, and clearly loved — and the house was spotless when we returned. Duke has special needs and requires daily insulin injections for his diabetes, and Lauren handled it all with incredible care and competence. It's never easy leaving a pet with medical needs, but she made the process stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a responsible, experienced, and genuinely kind dog sitter. We would absolutely use her again in a heartbeat!

Lauren was a great sitter for Harvey and we have already booked her for another time. The house was exactly how we left it and she provided daily updates and photos of Harvey while we were away. We have come back to a very chilled and happy cat. Thanks again Lauren.

Lauren, was absolutely amazing with my boys, they were really looked after and walked and kept company the whole weekend. I can’t thank Lauren enough for this weekend. Hopefully we will get to use Lauren again before we move. Thank you so much for looking after shankly & Rushy xx

Hugo has had the best time with Lauren caring for him. I chose the boarding option and was updated with photos regularly and also WhatsApp messages and through the Rover app. He has clearly been so well cared for and has been able to stick to his usual routine in a very safe and secure home environment. In fact, Hugo has just asked me when he can go to Lauren’s again, on his holidays ☺️

I highly recommend Lauren as a pet sitter. She was very attentive and loving with my dog and cats. She also followed my instructions for their needs and went above and beyond duty to visit my cat every day at the vets when she suddenly became ill. Lauren provides a fun environment and plays with the animals but also importantly can be very calming when needed. 5 out of 5 rating!
