I have 2 cats who get along with other animals. They roam around the house and tend to do their own thing. Staying in client homes, I will only use items/rooms that I am told can be used. I ALWAYS clean up after myself and will do light housework if asked/needed.

Throwing balls? Tug of war? Watching movies? Hugs and scritches? You got it! I love discovering new parks and exploring the outdoors. I will also make sure that you receive plenty of photos and videos of your baby/babies.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of animals since I was 7 years old and professionally since I was 18 years old. I love ALL animals. I have experience with the following animals: Bearded Dragons, Cats, Dogs, Ferrets, Rabbits, Fish, Hamsters, and Birds. I know how to administer shots and give medications orally to Cats, Dogs, and Ferrets. I believe that pets aren't pets - they are family. I live in a house with my husband, 15 month old toddler, and 2 kitties. I work a 9-5 full time job but can take breaks to help with walks, potty breaks, and feedings. I promise to give all of the love and attention your animal needs. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please reach out to me. Thank you!

Lauren is great! We had a mixup on the first morning time but she honestly apologized. She came each time requested other than that morning and was awesome with my 3 dogs. My dogs are not the easiest to take care of (I have a 17 year old blind one who wears diapers) but Lauren was a champ and cleaned up messes. I will use her again for my next trip.

Lauren was very friendly, communicative, and provided ample playtime for our kitties.

If you pass by Lauren for watching your fur babies, you are missing out. Not only does she take care of them, she’s extremely communicative and goes above and beyond. We had her do drop ins for our two when we were out of town and my male cat likes to be destructive no matter what we do(literally nicknamed him CODAD- iykyk). Lauren was willing to cleanup after all the messes he made!

Lauren was great. Super friendly and could tell she truely cared about taking care of our dog and 2 cats. She sent pictures and updates and asked questions to make sure she was doing everything right. She was accommodating with a more last minute booking to house sit for a weekend. Would definitely reccomend Lauren!
