Safety, trust & environment
Looking after your pet in your home means that their routine stays as consistent as possible with minimal disruption. They rule the roost, I'm just there to keep them happy and safe. Being the owner of a 5 year old reactive border collie, I understand that routine and boundaries are essential. Before I arrive to take care of your pet, please provide a list of instructions and needs, no matter how small! So that your pets needs can be fully met.
Ratings and reviews
Lauren is a fun loving, active, responsible woman who has been around animals all her life. From horses to hamsters, lizards to greyhounds. Her love of animals shines through. She is trustworthy and mature. She prefers coffee and a good book over wine and a party. She has a way about her that makes animals feel safe and secure. She has patients and understanding. She will stick to instructions and has experience of administrating medication to pets. She will love your fur babies like they are your own. If you choose to have Lauren stay in your home she will treat it with up most respect and it will be as clean and tidy as when you left. She has owned hamsters, guinea pigs, lizards, dogs and cats. She has recently lost her two senior cats with cancer. In her home currently there are three miniature dachshunds and a bearded/border collie. If you choose to book Lauren you will book her again and again.
Lauren has been an avid and conscientious pet owner for most of her life. Having her own rough haired collie, training her to a very good standard and encouraging positive pet ownership, caring and training has helped me a huge amount. She's insightful and aware of dietary considerations, especially when it's a safety concern, but also just from being able to give her dog (or my cat) the absolute best healthy comfortable life. I cant imagine anyone id trust my pet with more than her.

Schedule
I have recently made a big change to my life style, leaving full time work to increase my university course intensity from part time to full time study. I work for the NHS on a bank basis, meaning I pick and choose my shifts as and when. This allows me to completely dedicate my time to your pet when needed. I study with the Open University, meaning I can study any place and any time. As a full time student, your pet will become my primary study buddy whilst you're away. Whether that be snoozing on my keyboard or coming for an ear scratch at my feet. I'll always be around to tend to their needs.
