PT student and animal lover!

Pet care experience

Hi all! My name is Lauren and I am a physical therapy student at Simmons University. Even with my studies, I have plenty of time to take care of your beloved pets! I have grown up in Massachusetts and have been surrounded by animals my whole life, specifically 3 dogs; two mutts and a Bichon! While at school, I am not allowed to have pets in my room so I am missing quality animal time. I have 10+ years of experience house and pet sitting for neighbors and have grown accustom to taking care of cats as well. I want to make sure all pets feel loved and cared for, even if their owners are away. I love to give plenty of treats (if I am able to) and love to give belly rubs! I am always down for a walk or trip to the dog park, but I don't mind spending time on the couch giving back scratches either! Thank you for checking my page out and considering me to take care of your pets. I hope we can connect soon!

Lauren was wonderful! She was very communicative leading up to her visit, was responsible, and took great care of my dog. I recommend her highly and hope to book her again in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I am outgoing and personable so connecting with your animal should not be a problem! I know some animals can be shy when meeting strangers for the first time, so I approach them more gently and allow them to take their time to open up to me. Additionally, I have walked dogs for many years and I am sure to keep a strong grip on leashes since I've has some pullers before! I am energetic and look forward to visiting your pets or taking them for a stroll!

Information Lauren K. would like to know about your pet

If you have anything that you would like to let me know about your pet, please feel free! I just want to get an understanding of their comfort level with new people and animals as well as if they have any medical issues I need to watch out for! Other than that, I would love to get more information when I first meet your pet.

A typical day

When taking dogs on walks, I like to bring them to areas where they can spend a lot of time sniffing, such as parks or gardens; I like to keep them stimulated while they are outside! If they are friendly with other animals, I would love to take them to a dog park so they can run around, play with other animals, and play fetch!

I am currently in classes and working at a gym so my schedule can get pretty busy! With that being said though, taking care of pets is a much needed break and is quality time that I cherish. I am pretty flexible with some notice given ahead of time! I am organized, timely, and responsible for any tasks that I have on deck.
