Experienced shelter volunteer

Pet care experience

I have been offering pet care services in the Boston area since 2018! I am also an onsite volunteer and foster mom for two local animal shelters and a nonprofit farm - so I have experience with animals of all different species, backgrounds, medical and behavioral needs. I am gentle and soft-spoken, so animals generally find me very calming. I have extensive experience as a volunteer foster home for dogs and rabbits, but have also cared for cats, guinea pigs, rats, turtles, fish, chickens, horses, goats, exotic birds - you name it!

Lauren is a wonderful person to bring into your home and care for your pet. She is attentive, compassionate and fun for our sweet Sunny. We highly recommend Lauren and look forward to her next visit!

I asked Lauren to take care of my two dogs while I and my family were away for a week. She is a warm and nurturing person, so I was sure my dogs would be in good hands. She fed them, walked them and gave them their medications as I asked, and she ll be the one I ll call when I need a dog sitter again.
