Calm energy, Loving Care
Pet care experience
What sets me apart is the presence and care I bring to every interaction. With 15+ years of hands-on experience across a wide range of animals—dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs—I’m not just pet sitting, I’m attuning. I notice the little things: a shift in behavior, a need for extra cuddles, or when it’s time to give space. My calm, loving energy helps animals feel safe and understood. I don’t rush through visits—I show up fully, giving your pet the same patience and warmth I give my own.

Reviews
Lauren is such a pet lover. When she visits my cats love to snuggle up on her, they even sleep with her at night (which is a rare honor from them) and she always respects both their personal boundaries and any rules I’ve set regarding food/treats. She loves animals of all kinds and is always ensuring she does her research if it’s an animal she’s not experienced before. She will love on your pets as if they were her own (and if they could write their own testimonials I’m sure they’d give her 5 stars) and I can’t think of anyone I’d trust more with my pets.
Lauren has let my dogs out for me when I’m not home sooo many times. She’s always on time and my dogs love her. She does exactly as I ask, and almost always sends me a picture of my babies. She’s the best.

Safety, trust & environment
Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, my approach is rooted in calm, attentive, and loving presence. In my home, they’ll enjoy a relaxed, pet-friendly environment with plenty of snuggles, play, and quiet time—whatever makes them feel safe and happy. If I’m coming to you, I aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, respecting their space and energy. I treat every animal like family and always follow your instructions with care and attention to detail. We have a fenced in yard, and plenty of walkable sidewalks.

Availability
As a homeschool mom with a flexible schedule and a peaceful home environment, pet sitting fits naturally into my life. I’m home most of the day, which means your pet gets consistent attention, companionship, and care—not just quick check-ins. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and it brings joy and balance to our rhythm at home. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or extended stays, I have the time, space, and heart to give your pet the presence they deserve.
