Pet care experience

Your Pet’s New Bestie 🐾

I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages. I’ve looked after everything from playful puppies to chill senior cats, and even fostered a variety of animals from a local shelter. I offer patient, loving care and a calm, stress-free environment. When boarding in my home, I only take pets from one household at a time, so your furry friend gets my full attention and feels right at home.

Lauren has watched our sweet but needy and anxious pup several times. She is always very responsive and accommodating. She takes great care of her so much so we don’t worry a bit while away, even when gone for a long weekend. We’re moving to the other side of town and actually considering traveling to keep Lauren as a sitter. 5 stars!

Lauren did an amazing job caring for my pup, Poppy! Lauren was caring, thoughtful, and responsive throughout the entire process. Poppy felt right at home! Lauren is a great petsitter and provides a really safe, fun, and relaxing home away from home for each pet. Poppy and I are looking forward to her next stay with Lauren!

Lauren was a great sitter - she was responsive, accommodating, and confident with dog handling. My dog is anxiety-prone and seemed to do really well with her.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a secure apartment that’s perfect for cats and small to medium dogs. Cats can relax and enjoy plenty of natural light and views from my large windows, while dogs get fresh air and exercise with walks to several nearby parks just minutes away. Whether in my home or yours, I provide attentive, loving care in a safe, clean environment where your pet can feel relaxed and happy.

A typical day

A typical day with your pet is all about fun, exercise, and enrichment! For dogs, I love exploring the many parks around my neighborhood whether it’s a walk, a game of fetch, or just soaking up the sun, we’ll make the most of our time outdoors. For cats, I focus on keeping them happy and engaged with plenty of playtime using toys that spark their curiosity.

It's important for me to know as much as possible about your pet ahead of time so I can provide the best care. I’d love to know about their personality, routine, energy level, any special needs, and how they typically react to new people or other animals.
