Pet sitter extraordinaire!
Pet care experience
I have pet sat for eleven years, taking care of large and small dogs, indoor and outdoor cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, and fish. I also have cared for puppies and kittens! I have experience in overnight stays, daily check ins, and dog walking. I grew up with Scottish Terriers and Maine Coon Cats and am now a mom to an 11 year old Husky. I also have extensive experience taking care of pet owners' gardens while they are away and am happy to look after your plants or yard. I also run and am happy to take your dog on a run if they require more exercise than a standard walk provides.
Reviews
Lauren is fabulous, flexible and responsive!
Excellent and very communicative!
Lauren was great!! She was very attentive to our 2 dogs and communicated with us while she was with them!! 10/10 recommend and will be using Lauren again!!
Lauren has been incredible. Reliable, kind, communicative, and great with our giant dog with minor anxiety. We had her once a week on a day when neither of us could get home until late and it was such a relief to know she would be there consistently. She even came twice one week when a lot was going on and it was very last minute. Our dog loves her and it's fun to get pictures and updates every Thursday. I definitely recommend Lauren.
About Lauren K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Being a dog owner myself, I am very careful to make sure the pets in my care are safe and well-taken care of. I provide careful supervision, as well as check for any hazards in the environment (i.e. items in the home dogs like to chew, other dogs out on walks, etc.). I also provide frequent updates to clients with pictures of their pets and reach out if any concerns arise.
Information Lauren K. would like to know about your pet
I have experience walking and caring for high energy and reactive dogs, as well as puppies. At an initial meet and greet, I always ask about a dog's personality, any behaviors to be aware of, any triggers that lead to reactivity, and what the pet owner finds works best when caring for their pet. I also like to ask about communication preferences (i.e. frequency of updates), as well as any pet medical needs.
A typical day
I love to take the dogs I care for on walks to the park so that they can get both physical exercise and mental stimulation through sniffing. For both cats and dogs, I love to get out any toys they have and play with them!

Availability
I work in education, so my schedule is very flexible in the late afternoon/evenings, as well as on weekends! I'm a very active person and have a high energy husky myself, so I love opportunities to be outside and spend time with pets!
