Information Lauren D. would like to know about your pet

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.

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.

Your Pet’s New Bestie 🐾

Pet care experience

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 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.
