Pet care experience

Your Go-To Sitter for Every Kind of

I’ve taken care of all types of pets—hedgehogs, geckos, livestock, fish, cats, and dogs. I’m comfortable with unique routines, special needs, and creating a calm, safe environment for every animal. I focus on reliable communication, gentle handling, and making sure each pet feels relaxed and cared for while you’re away.

Plenty of room for my dogs to run, and where very happy and not sure about leaving when I came to pick up. Will definitely use again!

Kaiya was well taken care of. Lauren treated her like her own and took her to do a bunch of fun things. Kaiya had a lot of fun and I got a lot of pictures while she was being watched. Would definitely recommend Lauren!

Schedule

Pet care fits easily into my college routine. My class schedule is flexible, so I’m able to plan visits, walks, and check-ins around my coursework. I spend a lot of time at home studying, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, consistency, and companionship. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, walks between classes, or overnight care, I make pet sitting a natural part of my weekly routine.

Safety, trust & environment

As a pet sitter, I offer both in-home and client's home care. In my home, I provide a comfortable and pet-friendly environment, ensuring their safety and well-being. If caring for pets in the client's home, I'll follow their instructions, maintain their routine, and provide personalized attention to keep them happy and comfortable. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or administering medication, I'll tailor the care to meet each pet's specific needs. 💗

Pets

A typical day

As a pet sitter, I love engaging dogs in fun and enriching activities during our time together. Some of the enjoyable activities I may do with the dogs include: 1. Playtime: Interactive games, fetch, tug-of-war, and other activities to keep them physically and mentally stimulated. 2. Nature walks: Exploring nearby parks, trails, or dog-friendly areas, allowing them to enjoy the outdoors and sniff around. 3. Socialization: If the dog is sociable, I can arrange playdates with other friendly dogs or visit dog-friendly spaces. 4. Cuddle and relaxation: Spending quality time snuggling and offering comfort to make them feel loved and secure. Regarding special places for walks, I'll explore nearby parks, nature reserves, or any safe and dog-friendly locations based on the preferences and comfort level of the dog. My priority is to ensure they have a fun and enjoyable time while maintaining their safety and well-being. ??️

Ahead of time, it's crucial to gather important information about a dog to ensure their well-being and safety. Here are some that I require: 1. Medical history: Any existing health conditions, allergies, or medications the dog may be on. 2. Behavior and temperament: Information about their behavior around other dogs, strangers, children, and any specific triggers or fears. 3. Daily routine: Their regular feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any specific habits or preferences. 4. Contact information: Owner's contact details, emergency contacts, and the contact information of the dog's veterinarian. 5. Training and commands: Knowledge of the dog's training level, commands they respond to, and any specific training techniques used. 6. Special needs: Any unique requirements, such as mobility issues, senior care, or post-surgery care. Having this information ahead of time helps the me to provide the best possible care for the dog and ensures a smooth and stress-free experience for both the dog and the owner. ?
