Pet care experience

Pet Lover & Parent with Fenced Yard

Meet your new pet sitter in Upper Arlington. Thanks to my work-from-home career, pet care is my daily joy. Whether in your home or mine, I’m looking forward to caring for your pet. My home’s layout is naturally divided into sections that create the cat side and the dog side. The dog side includes a doggy door to my expansive back yard for daytime access. The cat side boasts two cat trees, a bay window, and a bird feeder. My dog is a 4-year-old black lab, fully vetted and vaccinated. She is quiet, friendly, and playful. Because my spouse is a certified canine handler, our pup is well trained. She was crate-trained originally, but now sleeps on our family room sofa where your dog is also welcome. I have experience administering insulin to a senior dog for whom I care in the owner’s home. I also have experience caring for a cat with a feeding tube in my home. I am comfortable giving oral and injectable medicines to both cats and dogs.

They took amazing care of our big buddy Yogi. We can tell he had so much fun and was wore out in a good way. Thank you so much!!

Lauren was great with our dog and showed patience when he was adjusting to her home. He obviously enjoyed his time with her family as he settled right in and cuddled with them. Lauren sent updates and photos everyday which was comforting since this was his first time in her home. We will definitely use Lauren in the future!

My pup had an amazing time with Lauren! She was so kind and accommodating with him. He would love to stay again and play with Cinder!

Lauren was great! Libby felt right at home and settled in really quickly. The huge fenced in back yard was definitely a plus and libby loved hanging out back there. We really appreciated how communicative and responsive Lauren was and we will definitely be using her again in the future!

Lauren was impeccable!! She was able to accommodate my feline companion, on a last minute change of plans! It immediately took a lot of stress off my mind. She adored having him around, and was able to give him some space of his own. Ill definitely be contacting her again, when im in the area.

Thanks to my experience overseeing a childcare center when my children were young, I am familiar with logging and communicating routines to keep you updated while you are away. You will receive photos of your fur-babies throughout their time with me.

I would love to meet your pet before I become their caretaker! I’m happy to come to your home, although I find it helpful for pups to come to my home before their first stay. I want you both to feel comfortable with the new environment. It affords the perfect opportunity to go over feeding and medication schedules. And it’s a great way for me to learn what your pet loves so I may provide the best care.
