Belly Rubs and Pet Photos Incoming

I've been passionate about animals since childhood. I have had a zoo in my lifetime, from dogs to cats to lizards to fish. I give the best belly rubs and ear scratches and you will always receive the best portrait mode photos of your pet when I come to see them. I have a deep love of cats, but I am sure to give them space and play it cool until they warm up at their own pace. I have had bully mixes who I had to train on leash as adult dogs, so I am up for the challenge of a difficult walker. Your pet just needs company for a bit? I'll bring my book and read out loud to your cat. Overnight stays do include custom goodnight lullabies for your pet.

I want to take this opportunity to write about one special person, and a true animal lover - Lauren M.! Our 2 rescued puppies are our children, and anytime we are taking a trip, we always try to take them with us, but when we can’t - Lauren always comes to the rescue!! We have a 2 year old Pug and the other one is an old man chihuahua, and they are both super high maintenance and have terrible separation anxiety, but not when Lauren come to “babysit” they absolutely love her - she talks to them, feeds them and spoils them rotten, they sit on the sofa with her when she reads or watches TV, and she allowes them to even jump on a bed with her and snuggle (it is very true, that animals can sense a good person, she literally treats them as if they are humans)! She would sent us so many photos of their smiling faces and updates through out a day, we always know that our precious puppies are loved on and well taken care off too! Lauren is super knowledgeable, experienced, trustworthy and loving not only with dogs and cats , but she even had a pet bearded dragon in her care too! We are so happy that we found her, I couldn’t even imagine leaving our furry children in someone else’s care!!

Hi everybody! Lauren watched my two cats at my house while me and my wife were gone for several days. She's very involved with the animals, and she cared for them very well. She changed the litter box and everything. She was very sweet to our little furry friends.

Lauren was a great sitter! She spent the week with our 2 cats and 2 dogs. She cared for them like they were her own. We will book again!

Lauren was a great sitter for our cats! We got lots of pictures, and they were happy and cared for the whole time we were away.

Lauren has taken care of my dog Harvey more times than I can count. From long days out to full weeks while I’ve traveled. She’s incredibly caring with animals and treats them like family. Harvey adores her; he runs to greet her with pure excitement every time he sees her coming, which says it all. Beyond regular sitting, Lauren has also stepped in to shuttle Harvey to and from grooming appointments and doggy daycare whenever I couldn’t. I trust her completely with my dog, and I can’t recommend her enough!

Lauren is hands down one of the best pet sitters I’ve ever worked with! You can tell immediately how much she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. I’ve got three large dogs, including one who is reactive, and Lauren handled everything with so much patience, care, and confidence. She took the time to gently get to know my reactive pup, which meant the world to me. She was incredibly kind and communicative the entire time, keeping me updated and completely at ease. I knew from day one my babies were in the best possible hands. I can’t recommend her enough!

Schedule

I am currently working part-time gigs and can come to your pet when needed and spend time with them. I am able to go on long walks to truly tire out even a rambunctious dog- I often walk 3-5 mile a day! I am also able to sit on the couch for a while and snuggle them as they need, or I can just be in the general same area as your cat if that is what they will allow and will talk out loud to give them company and stimulation.
