Safety, trust & environment
I respect your space and your furbaby. You are letting me into your home to care for your family and it's important to me that you feel at ease and can trust that everything will be as you expect it to be. I require a meet and greet for new clients to ensure we are on the same page about your fur baby and their routines. You can expect about 10 to 20 minutes of me asking you questions about your pet and you showing me their routines. Your pet needs to be there so they can get familiarized with me. If a walk is expected, I will also want us all to go on a walk together. I will send you a written summary of what we discussed to keep myself organized and for your peace of mind. Some other fun facts about me! I love to read! When house sitting I can often be found cuddled up with your dog reading a book, if they'll let me! Also, I love to cook and meal prep! When house sitting I bring with me everything I plan on eating and do not touch your food. Just microwave/coffee pot/air fryer if you have one. I also clean as a de-stressing activity. I am happy to give discounted house keeping services while I stay if you want to come back to shiny surfaces that are dust free, just ask! :) My clients often rave about how good I am with their pets and that I actually give them attention and bond with them. My regular repeat clients often comment on how excited their animals are to see me. They also often specifically mention how professional my communication is.
Information Lauren D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know their feeding schedule! Also if there's any tricks or behaviors you're working on, let's talk about them so I can continue the pattern building in your absence! :)
A typical day
Fetch is my go-to for getting a dog to burn their nervous energy! I'm a big fan of "exercise to wear them out". When doing a drop-in, this typically involve feeding them, refilling water, taking them out, cleaning litterbox etc. and then playing with and petting them for 30-40 minutes. When house-sitting, I'm going to keep everything about their morning routine including the times which we will have discussed during the meet and greet. Your pet will need to be ok with me being gone for increments of about 3 to 5 hours for this to be a good fit.

Punctual, detail oriented dog lover
Pet care experience
I've cared for puppies, kittens, senior dogs, senior cats, and everything in-between. I show up on time and make a special effort to bond with your furbabies. I know when I leave my own pup with someone, I want to make sure he is getting plenty of attention and I will do the same with your's. My 14 years of pet care experience is primarily being the sole caretaker for my own dog since he was a puppy and well into elder care, with a few pet sitting gigs a year. As of December 2025, I provide pet care full time and love it.
Reviews
Lauren was so sweet and attentive to our anxious senior Daisy. She took lots of pictures, messaged us with lots of details and was responsive to every text. Daisy also warmed up to her very quickly. Would definitely love to have Lauren take care of our girl any day.
Lauren came through at the last minute for my pups and I truly appreciate her for that. Not only that my babies absolutely love her and its a joy to see pictures of them giving her love. I thank you again for loving on my babies.
Lauren was great with our 2 cats. During the initial visit she was very gentle and made an effort to become familiar with them. She also sent a follow up message that summarized everything that we discussed. It was very professional. She did a great job during the two visits and went above and beyond to make sure that the cats were taken care of. Highly recommended
Lauren is so great!! She has walked my pup a few times now (a couple being last minute asks) and she has been so amazing! She spent extra time with my girl after the walks to get her settled back in which I really appreciate on days where I’m gone for work for hours. She is very communicative with me every step of the way too!
