Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal enthusiast local to Durham
I am a full-time Conservationist working from home who has had experience pet-sitting many different animals (dogs, cats, reptiles, etc.) from a young age. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me for short and long term care of their pets. I have worked with senior animals and cared for deaf and/or blind animals as well as dogs with special diets. Additionally, I have an extremely active lifestyle that is perfect for dogs who enjoy long walks/hikes/runs on a regular basis.
Qualifications
Pets
Safety, trust & environment
I am a very active pet sitter and will spend a lot of time taking care of your animal. This means I am very adept to caring for dogs who may need multiple walks/runs a day or other forms of stimulation. I have well trained animals myself and use positive reinforcement for good animal behavior. I am also extremely hygienic when it comes to dog and cat care, which would include litter box cleanings, brushing, and playtime on a daily basis. I am physically able to walk and handle larger breed dogs due to my stature.
Ratings and reviews
Lauren was communicative and diligent. One of the cats was in his favorite sleeping spot and didn’t come down for food, and when we didn’t answer right away, she searched the house until she found him, to make sure he ate!
Lauren was great! Very timely and communicative - I'd be happy to work with her again
It was clear Lauren did an excellent job. She is a great communicator, and my cats seemed to love her. We look forward to working with her again 🙂
Lauren was incredible and we will absolutely rebook with her. She communicated extremely well, and gave us complete confidence during our trip. I had peace of mind and was not worried at all about our sweet little kitten. She clearly cares a lot for animals, is very attentive to their needs, and has a ton of experience. I want to emphasize how reliable and kind she is. Thank you again for taking such good care of Gremlin!
Lauren was so great with our little puppy Zoey! She accommodated our schedule last minute and left us great pictures and updates. Would be happy to have her help us out with Zoey again!
Lauren took great care of my dog during weekly afternoon visits!
