Safety, trust & environment

I would prefer to take care of your pets in your home. I think it is best to keep pets in their routine environment so as not to disturb the normalcy they may be used to!

Information Lauren M. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to be informed of any triggers your dog may have on walks or around other dogs. If I should expect anything unique in terms of behavior from your cat too, please let me know. I like lists for when I'm pet-sitting, so that I can ensure a normal routine when you're gone and can take care of them just as you would!

A typical day

I would love to take your dog for a walk, bathroom break, or pet sit! I would also enjoy playing with your dog or cat if it needs some company :)

Pet-Sitter and Animal-lover!

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Lauren! I work in corporate fashion and graduated from UCLA where I was a campus tour guide and a sorority member. I love dogs and cats and have my own Terrier mix rescue named Amber at my family's home in Indiana. I have experience dog-walking and dog-sitting my own pup and family friends dogs too! I love cats and have plenty of cat-sitting experience as well. I live a very active lifestyle as I am also a certified Pilates instructor and would love to take your dog out for some exercise! My family and I are very choosy with our own sitters for Amber, so I understand the trust involved in choosing someone to watch over your home and furry friend. I intend to treat your dog or cat and home with respect and give them the same sitting experience as I would my own pup.

Lauren was so great with my somewhat shy cat, Pigpen! She was consistent in communicating with me and sending photos which I very much appreciate. I came home from a weekend away to a happy cat and immaculate apartment. Will 100% book again!

I cannot recommend Lauren enough! She did such a great job watching our (pretty needy) year and a half old Basset Hound, Pablo + our two cats! She was incredibly communicative and always ran everything past us. She shared lots of pictures - I never felt worried or out of touch. When we returned - we could tell that Pablo and the cats were all so well taken care of! They were all super happy and not to mention - she left our apartment in great condition. I will 100% be using Lauren the next time I'm in need for a pet sitter!
