Pet care experience

Reliable Cat Sitter and Dog Walker

I've lived with and cared for small and medium dogs and cats since I was 7 years old. I have also cared for neighbor's, friend's, and family's pets for the past 12 years. Throughout this time, I have cared for puppies and kittens, adult dogs and cats, and senior pets who have more advanced care needs. I have experience administering medications to cats and dogs. Additionally, I have been an avid volunteer at a local animal rescue for the past 12 years. I began my time at the rescue in the Cattery caring for cats of all ages, sizes, and health conditions. In 2018, I began as a volunteer with both Large and Small dogs at the shelter. In addition to general care at the rescue, I administer medications to both cats and dogs of all sizes, care for dogs and cats recovering from surgery, and handle large and small dogs in the outdoor play yards.

Lauren was absolutely fantastic! She took our Micro Goldendoodle on walks, gave him plenty of love and attention, and sent photos during every visit, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Our dog absolutely adored her! He would get SO excited every time she arrived, and it was obvious he looked forward to seeing her. We are incredibly grateful for her reliability and kindness. We would not hesitate to book Lauren again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding dog sitter or walker!

Lauren was amazing caring for my cat Toby for both a short weekend trip as well as a longer week away. She was so easy to communicate with for setting up a meet & greet and any scheduling details. She provided great updates and went above and beyond to offer to lean in case I had any travel delays returning home. Would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone and looking forward to booking her again!

Lauren was great! Stayed at our house and took care of our dog while we were away. Kept us updated everyday and sent lots of pictures. I felt at ease knowing our pet was in good hands! Would definitely book again.

Lauren is incredible and dependent. We had a happy, excited cat coming home that had been well taken care of. She took time with him each day so he didn’t feel so lonely. I would recommend Lauren x 1 million.

Let me know if your pet has any special healthcare or behavior requirements, including medication schedules, daily routines, feeding schedules, and any other information that's unique to your pet! I have experience administering pills and liquid medicine orally, as well as topical medications to both dogs (large & small) and cats. I also have experience caring for dogs with dementia and loss of eye sight & hearing. I always want to be aware of any potential care needs!
