Passionate, flexible pet care.

Pet care experience

My favourite place on earth is Leighton Dog Beach in Perth, Western Australia —there's nothing like seeing every dog on the beach having the absolute best day ever! My passion for dogs runs deep; I've lived with dogs since I was 5 and been caring for pets of others for over 15 years. Over the years, I've become the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, who have come to realize that I might just prefer dogs to humans! Most recently, I've been caring for cheeky cats Fish and Chip in Toronto. During my university days, training Dexter, our rescue greyhound-collie mix, was my favorite way to procrastinate, and I gained valuable experience in understanding and responding to a dog's unique needs. I appreciate the need for keeping routines and consistency to reduce anxiety and keep behaviour in check, and my chicken and rice making skills for dogs with sensitive stomachs are top notch! Very recently, I had the incredible experience of helping my mum's rescue, Sunny, a wolfhound mix, through the birth and early care of her nine puppies. Watching them grow and ensuring they were all healthy and happy before they found their forever homes was a deeply rewarding experience and solidified my desire to continue working with dogs. Recently arrived in Canada on a 2-year working visa and am traveling with my car. I'm excited to offer my pet-sitting services through Rover during my break from full-time work. Whether it's young, energetic puppies or a senior dog needing extra care, I’m committed to providing personalized, attentive care to ensure every pet has the best experience possible.

I am thrilled to share my heartfelt gratitude for Lauren who took exceptional care of my two adorable cats while I was out of town. From the moment I left, I knew Fish and Chip were in the best hands. Lauren went above and beyond, not only ensuring they were fed and their litter boxes were clean but also showering them with love and attention. My cats were clearly happy and well-cared-for, which put my mind at ease throughout my time away. What impressed me most was Laurens’s genuine affection for my cats and her thoughtful updates, which reassured me that everything was going smoothly. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, caring, and truly understands the needs of your pets, I highly recommend Lauren. They made my time away worry-free and my return home a joyful reunion with my happy cats.

I appreciate the importance of routine in reducing your pets anxieties when you're away, and have the flexibility to meet their needs on your house. I am currently exploring Canada very slowly with my car as I take a break from full-time work and am willing to travel as I don't have a rigid itinerary. I will keep my profile up to date with my location.
