Pet care experience

Experienced Pet Care Provider

Hi! I've consistently cared for both dogs and cats for a variety of families both in my own home and in their home back in my hometown in Connecticut for about 6 years. I also worked part-time for a pet care company called Shirley’s Pet Project in Chicago for about two years before moving to Boston. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, needs, activity levels, and have two cats of my own. I have experience administering oral medication, providing for a special diet, and addressing special needs. I have a car as well. A little about me: I’m a full-time speech language pathologist for Boston Public Schools. I live in Brighton with my fiancée and our two cats, Debbie and Howie. I will be moving to Salem, MA in early August 2025. Thank you so much for your consideration!

Safety, trust & environment

I follow all care directions and will not hesitate to ask questions or report concerns. For pups, I would not take them off leash on walks unless explicitly permitted and dedicate my undivided attention to them when caring for them. For all animals, I ensure their food, water, and toileting needs are looked after and will provide frequent play time.

Thanks for taking such great care of Zeb. He was his usual happy self when I got home- as if I’d never left.

Lauren took amazing care of my nervous cat while I was away, even got her to come out to play. She was also very communicative and responsive, and was accommodating when I made a scheduling mistake and needed to add extra visits. I highly recommend booking with Lauren to care for your cat(s)!

Lauren has checked in on our cats over two separate weekends and has been absolutely wonderful, both in terms of following instructions and showing care for the cats. She is very communicative and responsive to our needs. We are grateful to be able to rely on her.
