Former vet tech who loves animals!
Pet care experience
I've had pets my whole life and have always loved animals. I volunteered abroad in India at an animal shelter where I worked mainly with strays and orphaned puppies. I went to school for veterinary technology and worked as a veterinary technician for over three years.
Reviews
Lauren is a fantastic pet sitter. She was great with our elderly cat (Stan loved her!), gave through updates and was patient with us as we can be worrisome pet parents when it comes to our old man Stan. Already hoping to work with Lauren for our future needs.
Highly recommend! Lauren took great care of my kitty, was flexible when my travel plans changed. Will 100% use her services again.
Lauren is a lover of animals (and they love her!). She is responsible, caring, intelligent & dedicated to her assignments. Her background of being a vet tech brings an understanding of a pet’s needs to a higher level. She’s ready to walk your dog(s) or care for your cat.
Lauren is a compassionate, patient, and knowledgeable pet sitter. She is gentle and sweet with my elderly cat and dog and due to her vet tech background knows a lot about your pets' needs. Highly recommend!!

Safety, trust & environment
I have plenty of indoor space for your pets, and my home is safe and quiet. I don't have a yard, but I do have a patio, and I'm a five-minute drive from the nearest park. I am also happy to take dogs on hiking trails! I live with two other people - my partner Jay and another male roommate (who is currently out of town, but will return on June 7th).
Home
Information Lauren H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know ahead of time if your pets have any behavioral issues/quirks or special needs. For boarding, I do require all pets to be potty trained and able to be alone for short periods of time (a couple hours maximum). For dogs, they must not be excessive barkers as I live in an apartment complex. Boarders must also be non-destructive (no tearing up pillows, chewing on shoes, etc.), but they are allowed on the furniture.
A typical day
I'm big on keeping your pets entertained both physically and mentally! For pups, we'll play games like tug-of-war and fetch. For kitties, I have a wide variety of toys that they can interact with solo or with me. I also love using treat puzzle toys for both cats and dogs. I'm big on snuggle time for pets that are comfortable with that level of touch. For dogs I board, they will get two walks a day (AM/PM) and a potty break mid-day.
