I can’t wait to meet your pet!
Pet care experience
I’ve always had dogs in my home to love and care for until I left for college and adopted my own first fur baby! My love for pets grew from there. In 2017 I started volunteering for HOPE of Brevard, caring for their cats and in 2019 I worked at local non profit veterinary clinic, checking in pets and discharging them to their fur parents with after care instructions. I have 3 cats of my own at home and occasionally foster pets when I’m able. I am a stay at home mom. My only obligated time to be away from the house is when I pick up and drop off my child to and from school at 9am and 4pm but that is only every other week. The other week, he is father and I am absolutely open. I have a good sized yard but no fence so I would still need to keep them on a leash to keep them safe. I can take them for walks galore. Pets are treated like humans in my home so they are welcome in the furniture and bed to snuggle. I have smaller crates to be able to crate a small dog/cat but nothing larger. I am currently looking into obtaining a larger crate and a post run for the backyard so the pups don’t have to stay on a leash. I also have 3 cats at home that would love some playmates! I can also come to your home to care for your animals in-home. If you need someone to stay the night with your animals, I can do that. I can also do late night checks and walks as well as early morning. I have open availability so I can spend as much time with your pet as they’d like!
Reviews
Lauren was a delight. My dog Shadow was so comfortable and happy with her. She arrived on time, walked Shadow, kept him fed and watered, kept in touch with me and sent photos several times a day. Lauren has such a positive attitude and obviously loves animals. In addition she also had to deal with a delivery which she handled well.
Lauren is a great sitter! She kept us posted on our girls stay with her and sent photos to reassure that our pups were doing fine while we were away. Will definitely use her again when we need a sitter
Lauren was awesome!! And I’d definitely use her again!!
Wonderful sitter, all around.

Information Lauren L. would like to know about your pet
A little info I would need to know are things like medical concerns, dietary restrictions, medications that are taken routinely, and documentation from their vet showing they are up to date on their required vaccinations. I wold also like to know how they do with cats and small children so I can know how to best accommodate your pet and handle my home. I would also love to know your pet’s favorite things to do like fetch the ball as an example. On the other hand, I’d love to know their triggers or things that make them uncomfortable so those situations can be avoided. Their energy level, what their typical feeding schedule is, and anything else you consider “need to know” info on your pup is always appreciated and highly recommended.
A typical day
I like to keep pups as active as they’d like. I live near several amazing dog parks to choose from. I also live in a very pet friendly, quiet neighborhood with plenty of off road trails as well, so, if your dog loves walks, they’re in luck! I’m also a bit of a beach bum myself and would love to take your fur baby to a pet friendly beach if they enjoy it and we have permission, of course. I have a nice, large yard for throwing balls or frisbees or just run around if that’s your pup’s “thing”! I’ve been known to break out the nontoxic bubbles as dogs usually lose their minds for them! If your pup isn’t into being active, I always enjoy snuggling up with a good nature documentary and even have a white noise machine just in case they’re used to one at home for comfort. For our less active dogs, we’d have lots of pets, belly rubs, and ear scratches planned, in addition to anything else I find that your pet specifically enjoys. I am happy to tailor your pet’s experience to ensure their happiness.
