Caring, Reliable Animal Lover Here!
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m a lifelong animal lover with real hands-on experience working in pet groomeries, animal clinics, and shelters. I’ve been around animals my whole life, and now I’m turning that love into a career while studying veterinary medicine! I’ve cared for pets of all kinds, from playful puppies to senior sweethearts, and I know how to handle every personality. Whether it’s a quick check-in, a fun walk, or some TLC, I bring professionalism, warmth, and plenty of love to make your pet feel safe, happy, and adored!

Reviews
Lauren is absolutely amazing with animals! She has a natural way of connecting with pets, and her professionalism is unmatched. She cared for my Sandy, a shy older St. Bernard and within no time, they warmed up to her. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind. Her attention to detail and love for animals really show, and I’d trust her with my pets any day!
Lauren has been a dependable and caring sitter for my cat, Bentley. She checks in regularly to make sure he’s happy and well-cared for, and I can always trust her to follow his routine. Bentley isn’t the easiest cat to win over, but he’s completely comfortable with her, which says a lot. It’s a relief to know he’s in good hands when I’m not home. He always looks sad when Lauren has to leave. He loves her!
Lauren was incredible with my puppy, a chocolate lab named Biscuit! I had to work long hours, and she stepped in every day during lunch to feed, play, and let him out. She even helped with training, and I’ve already noticed a huge difference in his behavior. Her patience and energy were exactly what Biscuit needed, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care. I can’t recommend her enough, she’s a lifesaver!

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for them to relax or play. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I maintain routines and follow specific instructions to keep your pet happy and secure. My background in animal clinics and groomeries has taught me how to handle a variety of situations calmly and professionally. Whether at your home or mine, your pet will always be in safe and loving hands.
Information Lauren M. would like to know about your pet
I always like to know a pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to ensure they’re comfortable and happy. Key details include their feeding schedule, favorite activities, and any quirks or triggers (like anxiety around certain noises or other pets). If they have medical needs or require medication, I’ll need clear instructions. The more I know about their personality and habits, the better I can provide personalized care.
A typical day
I tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level to make sure they’re happy and engaged. For playful pups, that might mean fetch, tug-of-war, or exploring new walking routes. For cats, I love interactive play with toys or laser pointers, and of course, providing plenty of cuddles (if they’re into that!). My goal is to make sure every pet feels loved, entertained, and comfortable while in my care.
