Highlights
Pet care experience
Ex dog owner & volunteer dog walker
Hi my name is Lauren. I am an experienced dog owner, previously owning and training two very different breeds, Tasha, a Doberman, and Lyra, a Maltease, who have both sadly passed. Participated in puppy training classes for both dogs, and also looked after Lyra through health issues in her later life, when she struggled to go on walks. I have experience sitting for colleagues, and for clients on Rover, ranging in sizes and disabilities. I have also volunteered for several years walking kennelled dogs. Working with various sized dogs, harnesses, temperaments, exercise requirements and diets. I am 26, and plan to get a dog in the next few years once I have settled living, so I would absolutely love to help someone out with any dog sitting needs they have! I can be flexible with bookings and shorter or longer periods of time. Happy to match any requirements as I’m a very active person, so I am happy to take them on long walks or runs, but equally happy to sit and give them all the attention!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We had a great experience with Lauren! Lauren is very responsive, timely, well organized! Our dog was happy and content when we picked her up after a 3 day pet sitting. I would strongly recommend Lauren and her services!
Lauren went above and beyond to make sure our blind dog was comfortable :) Had very regular updates and always felt like our dog was getting the best care. Would 100% book again!
Lauren was absolutely fantastic. Her communication prior to and during the visit was great. We would definitely have her back to look after Honey anytime.
Can’t rate Lauren highly enough! She was so caring and patient with Delta and also took her on a great walk and played with her none stop … it was a wrestle to get Delta to come home with us! Thanks again for looking after her will 100% message next time we’re in cardiff :) Loads of love Sam and Jess
My dog had a lovely time being looked after by Lauren. My dog was walked frequently & given a lot of love by Lauren & her friends. Lauren gave frequent updates and pictures & I will definitely be booking with Lauren next time X
Lauren has looked after my family dog, and my own cat several times, staying at my house whilst I'm away for long periods of time and giving the utmost care and attention to both my pets and home. It's immediately obvious how much she loves animals, and how much they love her in turn. I always used to worry about going away and leaving pets at home, but I trust Lauren completely, and I know they'll be so well looked after and loved as if they were her own. She keeps me frequently updated, follows instructions to the letter and goes above and beyond to make sure my pets are as happy as possible.

Schedule
I work remotely as a maths tutor with flexible hours. I am happy for shorter or longer boarding when needed. Weekend work is absolutely fine, a couple of days advanced notice would be massively appreciated, but I am happy to accomodate last minute requests. I am an early riser, so I can work to earlier schedules if needed.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in Cardiff Bay/Penarth Flats area. I own a car and I am happy to travel as and when needed, for walks or boarding services. I am an avid hiker and I love exploring new places, if your pets have favourite walks / locations I would happily accomodate travel to those locations if that is an owner's preference.
A typical day
I am happy to take dogs on long or short walks. I always ensure never to rush dogs on their walks, able to sniff, discover and enjoy areas! I also have a car, so if they are able to travel, and would like me to take them to specific favourite locations of theirs I’m happy to!
