Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize understanding every pets needs and preferences so they can be as comfortable with me as they are with their owner. My experience with horses and large animals has taught me how to handle animals calmly and safely and make sure all rules are followed and checks are done to ensure animal and human safety and well-being.
Information Lauren G. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about your pet’s routines, feeding schedules, personality, exercise needs, as well as any special care they require ahead of time. It’s also helpful to know how they interact with other animals and new people, and any fears or behaviors I should be aware of so I can help create a safe and comfortable environment for them.
A typical day
I love to get to know each pet so I can provide them with the play that best suits them! I like to understand whether a pet wants high energy play, enrichment puzzles, cuddles, or to just enjoy time in each others presence.

Pet care experience
I’m a lifelong animal lover with vast experience! I’ve been dog walking, sitting, and volunteering at my local humane society since middle school. Additionally, I’ve owned 2 cats and a horse and have extensive experience in kitten care, senior cat care, and horse care. I’m responsible, caring, and love connecting with different animals!

Reviews
Lauren has watched our dog, Cadbury, many times over the years, including during extended vacations. She is always prompt when communicating availability, punctual with arrival times, and shows great care when providing for Cadbury's needs (including walking, administering medication, and socialization). Lauren gives us frequent updates, sends photos, and even handles small house-sitting chores like mail and watering plants. Her background as a dedicated horse owner further demonstrates her deep love and lifetime commitment to animals. I recommend Lauren as a pet-sitter with no reservations!
Lauren has been a pet sitter for our 2 cats for more than 7 years. If we go away, we know we can count on her for reliable and thoughtful care. Before we leave, Lauren verifies all instructions for routines, feedings, play time, emergency contacts, any medications, and home entry procedures. While we are gone, we receive updates (with cute pics!) as well as timely communication about any issues that may arise. She is knowledgeable about pet care and genuinely cares about animals' comfort and happiness. We are thankful for the TLC she gives the cats and for our peace of mind when Lauren is in our home caring for our pets.
