Safety, trust & environment

Ensure they have fresh water and food. Make sure there are no items in the house that the dog or cat can get into that can harm them. Allow the animals to come to me first to build trust. Discuss any food allergies or special requirements for pet sitting.

Information Lauren K. would like to know about your pet

I really need to know if there are any specific restrictions on activity and what your animal enjoys. I need to know if your pet is great with other animals, how their recall is, and if there is any dietary restrictions.

A typical day

I love taking pets hiking, biking, disc golfing, nordic skiing, running, walking, fetch, swimming and paddleboarding. Whatever the animal would enjoy for exercise or mental stimulation.

Pets

Active and responsible pet owner

Pet care experience

I have grown up with various pets throughout my life. Currently have a border collie and cat of my own who love to be active and mentally stimulated. I have previous experience pet sitting for friends and coworkers with pets requiring medications or special care. Truly enjoy having the company of furry little buddy. I enjoy taking my dog on hikes, biking, disc golfing, swimming, paddleboarding and snowboarding. If your dog is up for the adventure I have no problem bringing them along:)

Lauren was incredible with our cats and our place. Lauren came by for a visit to meet us and the cats and they immediately took to her, which is not always easy for our shy cats. Lauren has a really great calm energy that our cats loved 🥰 Lauren watched our two cats for three nights of drop-in visits and gave one of our cats medication. She's trustworthy, friendly and dependable and we will certainly be hoping to book her to watch our fur babies again. Thank you so much, Lauren!

Lauren took great care of our cats and our house while we were away for a week. She ensured that both cats were content and well-fed, and spent extra time to give them lots of attention. We highly recommend Lauren!

Lauren looked after our two kitties for a few days- with twice daily check ins. She was absolutely fantastic and we are thrilled. Lauren somehow got even our shy kitty to warm up, and both cats were very clearly well cared for. Lauren even shoveled our walkway and stairs when it snowed! We will definitely be asking to book her again and very highly recommend her!

Lauren has been a caring and attentive pet parent to her own dog and cat for many years. She has also been a top-notch petsitter for friends' and colleagues' pets over the years as well. I would entrust Lauren with my furry friends any day!
