Reliable Dog Walking & Pet Care Services

I have grown up around dogs and cats, and as an adult, I have raised my own pets, giving me a lifelong love and understanding of animals. My passion for pet care has led me to pursue professional qualifications, including a certification in pet first aid and a diploma in pet sitting and dog walking. These credentials ensure that I am equipped to handle any situation that may arise, providing peace of mind for pet owners. What truly sets me apart is my commitment to personalised and compassionate care. I tailor my services to meet the specific needs of each pet, whether they require gentle walks, energetic playtime, or special attention due to age or health conditions. I have experience in caring for senior dogs, ensuring they receive the gentle exercise and extra care they need, as well as in puppy care, providing training, socialisation, and the structure young dogs require. Additionally, my services are not just about basic care; they are about creating positive, enriching experiences for your pets. I am dedicated to ensuring that every pet in my care feels loved, safe, and happy, making their time away from their owners as enjoyable as possible.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I provide a safe and secure environment for pets, with a fully enclosed garden where they can play and explore under supervision. I have an 8 year old golden retriever who makes a great companion and provides an opportunity for additional socialisation and playtime. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I prioritise their comfort and security. I adhere closely to the pet owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medication, and routine, maintaining a familiar environment to minimise stress. In both settings, I prioritise trust-building through gentle handling, positive reinforcement, and clear communication. I strive to create a nurturing atmosphere where pets feel relaxed and at ease, ensuring their well-being and happiness throughout their stay.

This was the 2nd time we have used Lauren to look after our bengal cat. Lauren was very professional and kept us fully informed with photos and updates. She changed her litter regularly and cleaned up the odd accident and made a fuss of her. We would highly recommend Lauren and will continue to use her whenever we go away.

Highly recommend Lauren! It was my first time leaving my kitten Echo. She is blind so this made it even harder, but Lauren was so patient with her as she is extremely nervous around new people, she was kind and caring towards Echo, and completely won her over. She updated us every time, sent over lots of photos. And definitely made going away much easier. Thankyou you again Lauren!

Thank you Lauren, it was our first time using a cat sitter and our experience was excellent. Murray and Malou were well looked after, we received daily updates and the whole process was seamless. We would highly recommend Lauren and happily use once again. Thank you again!

This was the second time we used Lauren as a sitter for our Staffy. We had such a great experience with her the first time, so had to ask her again. And we were very impressed again. When Lauren had concerns, she was very quick to contact us and was able to be very flexible. We would definitely recommend her.
