Highlights
Pet care experience
Dental Student + Pet Lover
All bookings go toward my dental school expenses, thank you for trusting me! ☺️ Hi there! My name is Lauren Bacal (yes, like the actress⭐️)- a second year dental student 🦷🪥 and lifelong animal lover who’s looking to spend time with furry friends when I’m not studying! 📚
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve had a dog 🐕 in my home for 15 years and I spent two years volunteering at an animal shelter caring for cats 🐈, dogs 🐕, and other animals. I also have experience caring for an extensive range of animals including: fish 🐟, rabbits 🐇, chickens 🐓, lizards 🦎, chinchillas, guinea pigs, and tortoises 🐢. So whether your pet has fur, scales, or feathers I’m there to help! As a stressed student, spending time with animals is my favorite way to decompress 🧘♀️ and get outside ☀️ for walks and playtime. Some days I’m in school 8-5, but Ian is there during these hours if your pet needs attention! I treat every home with the same respect I’d want for my own. I’ll make sure your space stays just as clean 🧼(or cleaner) than when I arrived and I’ll always follow any routines or boundaries set for your pet. I’m also more than happy to help with small household 🏡 tasks like bringing in mail 📦, watering plants 🌱, and keeping an eye on the home. I’m so excited to meet your furry family member! 🐾
Ratings and reviews
Lauren and Ian were absolutely incredible with our fur babies! Will definitely use them again for animal sitting in the future!
Lauren and Ian were just fantastic. I highly recommend them. They took great care of my cats and played with them, sent photos brought packages in and went above and beyond!
Very prompt and informative! Thank you
Lauren and Ian were amazing! I was a last minute booking and impressed they found the time to meet Norma before we left for our trip! They did a wonderful job taking care of her, sending updates, videos and pictures! Will be using again!
Lauren and Ian were perfect. They came every day on time and followed the care instructions perfectly. I have a hiding kitty and they communicated well about him and gave lots of love and play to my other cat. They even brought in our mail and boxes daily. Would definitely recommend and hire again in the future!
Lauren is the best! She has watched my cats twice now and has done a wonderful job each time. She takes the time to play with them and make sure they are happy while we are gone. She is great with communication and my boys are very comfortable with her when she visits!

Schedule
Most visits will be done by me, but my partner Ian is also available when I’m in school or during busy exam weeks. He works from home and is AMAZING with animals- seriously he seems to know a fun fact about every species! He has a lot of experience with senior dogs who need gentle care and energetic ⚡️ pups who want to play all day. If you have a preference for who cares for your pet, just let me know!
