Comfortable with ALL sizes and ages
Pet care experience
I am a college student who started pet sitting as one of my first jobs and have continued to grow my pet sitting family over the past 6 years. When I am watching someones animal(s), I always make sure to send updates and several pictures of the pet(s) to the owner(s). I try to do everything in my power to help ease any anxiety that the parent(s) may feel when leaving their fur-baby. I have experience with dogs on both ends of the age spectrum. I am comfortable with a puppy who is still working on their basic training and is a wild child full of energy as well as a senior dog who has a strict medicine schedule and loves to nap. I am also comfortable with multiple animals as well. I personally have in my household 2 senior dogs, a cat, and a hamster. Since I am a college student, my schedule is pretty flexible with times between classes and a different list of classes each day. I am always willing to work with owners to do what is best for the animal(s).
Reviews
Lauren is by far our first choice when we need a dog sitter. Our dog, Jax, does a happy dance every time she comes over! She is trustworthy and reliable and stays in communication with us on a regular basis. We know Jax is being well taken care of and loved on. I don’t know what we would do without her!!
Lauren is an awesome caregiver!! She kept our cat and 2 dogs, one of which requires a lot of attention. For an entire week, she loved our pets as if they were her own. I think they were sad that she left. We will always call on Lauren when we need a caregiver.
About Lauren I.
Skills
Information Lauren I. would like to know about your pet
Before sitting any animal I would like to know any medical issues including medicine/ vitamin schedule as well as emergency protocols and phone numbers. I also like to know of any fears and/ or unique traits/ reactions that the dog(s) may have. Some examples I have experienced includes: fear of thunder, fear of water, uncomfortable with bathrooms, barks at shadows, love to find and eat bugs, etc.
A typical day
Before I embark on any activities, including walking, with the dog(s), I get approval from the owners on what the animals can and cannot do. Unless otherwise specified, I do not stray too far from the home to keep the dog(s) as comfortable as possible. Previous activities that I have taken the dog(s) I am watching on include: Starbucks trip for a puppacino, a visit to the dog park, getting a Bruster's Ice-cream puppy sundae, a shopping trip to Petco.
