Pet care experience
Whether you're going on a vacation, do a lot of traveling or just need a weekend sitter depend on me to watch your fur-babies! I’m known as a pet person to all my family and friends. I always had pets growing up and love caring for pets. I dog sit because I love animals. I have three pets of my own, so I understand the importance of having someone who is reliable, who your pets can grow familiar and comfortable with. I am comfortable caring for dogs as well as cats. Caring for animals is a passion for me. I will treat yours as if they were a part of my family. I look forward to meeting you and your fur-babies and your family becoming part of ours! MY SCHEDULE: I’m currently a stay-at-home mom so I can be available 7 days a week during the day, including most holidays. Please feel free to inform me if you require specific times for medication or potty breaks. If you want to board your pet with me, I'll need to know if your pet is kid-friendly or pet friendly as I have two young daughters (6 & 8) and 3 pets (1 medium sized dog & 2 cats). EXPERIENCE: I have worked at a veterinarian's office as a receptionist. I became familiar being friendly with all types of animals there, including kittens/cats, dogs of all sizes & breeds. I am comfortable working with pets with medical conditions. I can play with your pets, talk to your pets, walk your pets, or bath your pets. I have experience giving oral medications and tick/flee treatments to my own pets as well as helping other pet owners do the same. MEET AND GREETING: I prefer to do meet and greets prior to our first visit. This helps your pet become familiar with my temperament and scent while you are there. This also gives us a chance to meet directly and go over any instructions or questions in person. BOARDING When booking for boarding I will provide 24-hour care, and treat your pet like a part of my family. I will work with you beforehand to ensure your pet's normal routine remains uninterrupted. Each day your pet will be provided with a walk and/or outdoor time and one-on-one time throughout the day. Daily updates and pictures are always included! MEDICATION I have experience giving oral medications and tick/flee treatments to my own pets as well as helping other pet owners do the same. I understand how important time & accuracy is when working with pets who are on medicine, as well as pets who are disabled. I take great care in being as accurate and safe as possible.
Reviews
As always, we had a great experience with Lauren! She is simply the best!
Lauren is our hero!! Our energetic pup is a true quarantine dog and has had lots of difficulties leaving my husband and I... but Lauren really made everything so easy. She is kind and caring as well as informative. We felt so comfortable knowing that Remy was spending her afternoons with Lauren. She was a big help to my parents as well and truly made our first time away from her a breeze. Thank you again Lauren and we can’t wait to have Remy come visit soon!!
My Great Dane, Charlotte, absolutely loves staying with Lauren!
As always, Charlotte had an excellent stay with Lauren!
