Safety, trust & environment
Pets are family, and I treat them that way. I stick closely to your routines and make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. When possible, I like to schedule meet-and-greets to get to know your pets and their daily routines ahead of time.

School Counselor and Animal Lover
Pet care experience
I’ve spent the past 16 years as an elementary school counselor, which has helped me develop patience, compassion, and a strong sense of responsibility—qualities I bring to every pet I care for. I also have nearly three years of experience providing pet care through Rover, along with volunteer experience at an animal shelter. I’m comfortable caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, parakeets, lizards, and fish. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone new, and I’m dedicated to making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I also have experience administering medications and giving insulin injections, so I’m confident caring for pets with special medical needs. I’ve been a dog owner for the past 15 years and grew up with cats and parakeets, so animals have always been an important part of my life.
Reviews
Lauren is simply the best! She takes care of kitty 🐈⬛ who loves her and we do too!
Lauren is fabulous! We don’t worry at all when the animals are cared for on her watch. It is evident our animals enjoy their time with her which leads to them asking when our next trip is? She always goes above and beyond. We greatly appreciate her.
Fantastic and reliable!! Thank you Lauren for the care and love you shared with Tux our cat!!!
Lauren is fabulous!!!
