Pet care experience

I am an experienced pet sitter and Nanny. I grew up with dogs and cats in the house, and do still have my own dog back at home in Colombia (don’t worry the family is taking care of him). I’m understanding of their needs and emotions, and know as a pet owner that you are looking for a person to care for your pet just as you would! Yes that includes being comfortable giving them medications and special care that might be needed. I can even give your plants some water and attention too. I am detail oriented and want to make sure your pets are safe and happy while you’re away. Your home will be left clean, tidy and secure as you left it!

We used Lauren for the first time for an overnight stay with our yellow lab Finnegan, and were very pleased with her. She took him for walks, sent pictures and took very good care of him overall. We will definitely look to use her again.

Lauren was great with my dog. He usually skips food if we are not home, She made sure he eat his food and followed all the instructions I gave. Lauren played with him and shared his pics as well. I will definitely use her for future needs.

Hi everyone! Just here to recommend Lauren. She took care of my two dogs (golden retriever and puddle) in Fairfield while I was gone for a week. She helped me with drop in visits and walks. She was sweet and made sure everything was clean and they had fresh water everyday. Lauren is very responsible and professional. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you !

My #1 goal is to make your pets feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away! While in your home I will keep a clean and tidy space making sure your furry friend or friends has a comfortable play and safe area. I will look after any special diet if they have one, and water any plants that might need attention. When leaving your home, it will be secure and as you left it with your update on the visit.

Information Lauren D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any special circumstances your pet has like allergies, certain behaviors, how they interact with other pets, any special diets, medical conditions and anything you think I need to know.

A typical day

I like to work with a written daily routine plan of your pet, to secure and provide an efficient and excellent service! First thing I’ll do when starting the visit is check up on the place, make sure your pet or pets did not get into anything or have any accidents. If they need to be let out I’ll take them out to take care of any business. Now comes the fun part, play time! I’m an enthusiastic about the idea of giving dogs and cats a lot of exercises and daily physical movement, it could be a catch game with a ball or a frisbee with your dog or moving around the house the string, tiny balls and fake mices for your cat! Felix I’m sure will get tired from playing with the string or whatever toys you have. After all that fun time comes the feeding and having fresh water, I'll follow any routine they have. At the end of my work You’ll have my summary in a daily Rover card after I make sure everything is tidy and content before I lock up!
