My typical response hours are 9 am - 10 pm with some variation. I will respond in the morning if I receive a request overnight.

Safety, trust & environment

When people come to our home to care for our pets, I leave detailed instructions and am comfortable receiving the same. I will treat their home and family as though they are my own. It is very hard to find trustworthy people to care for our furbabies, so I will do everything I can to put the client's mind at ease and give their baby well-deserved love and attention.

Information Lauren M. would like to know about your pet

Any behavioral or health issues. Any other quirks or fun things I should know. Any meds, allergies, restrictions, triggers, etc. I'm happy to work with you.

A typical day

The sky is the limit. If you have a dog who loves the park, that is where we'll go. A kitty who prefers hanging out with the TV on? Great. I am here to help.

Pet care experience

I have been caring for animals since I was 18. I am now 38. I have been entrusted with many of our loved ones' animals and have cared for them at all stages - puppies, kittens, adults, seniors, etc. In my home life, I care for 3 cats, and before that I cared for a Frenchie for 9 years. She was a wonderful dog but had a multitude of health issues, so I am familiar with both flat-nosed breeds and caring for a dog with multiple meds and supplements. I am extremely communicative and leave detailed updates. I have been praised for them in many of my reviews and look forward to easing your mind while I am caring for your baby.

Lauren is a phenomenal human, I never had to worry about my cat when she was in her care. She left me detailed notes after every visit, it was a joy to read them! She also goes above and beyond to make sure your home is clean and everything is well taken care of. My cat is very picky about people and she warmed up to Lauren in a way I’ve never seen before. That’s how loved she was in such a short time. I highly recommend her to anyone! She will send plenty of photos and is extremely responsive and communicative. Thanks for everything! 💕

Lauren was an incredible cat sitter! She was very responsive and provided detailed updates and photos of our cat while we were away. We would book Lauren again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for your care and kindness to our home and cat.

Lauren was fantastic! Throughout the process she was so thoughtful, kind and communicative. Lauren took the time to meet our girl Fig beforehand, and sent us detailed updates each day we were away. We had so much peace of mind knowing our baby was well taken care of!! We are so appreciative and would happily book Lauren again :)
