About Lauren O.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Gaining your pet’s trust at their own pace and making sure they feel comfortable and safe is my top priority. When meeting a new pet, I look for signs of openness and approach them gently. My aim is for them to get to know me on their own terms.
Information Lauren O. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any physical/behavioral accommodations and if they have a specific routine to stick to. Also, what their likes and/or dislikes are. (i.e., do they get frazzled by skateboarders, are they sensitive to certain sounds?)
A typical day
When stimulating dogs and basing it off their energy levels, I like to initiate both mental and physical activities. For mental stimulation, a good play nose work games such as which treat the hand is in and where are the treats in the room. Along with going on walks, I also like to produce physical stimulation through play such as tug-of-war and fetch. If your dog prefers to lounge around and receive pets, I am happy to do that! I will adjust to your dog’s energy level and behavioral accommodations to avoid overwhelming them. For my cat clients, I try speaking to them frequently throughout our visit so they know where I am and familiarize my voice to them. I typically like to engage in playing with them and petting to build a rapport between us. Whatever comforts and routines your cat needs, I will aim to accommodate them.

Certified lover of cats and dogs!
Pet care experience
Caring for cats and dogs over the past 12 years has been one of the greatest joys of my life! Through my passion for animals, I am dedicated to giving them all my love and attention. As a fellow pet parent, ensuring your pet’s safety is of the utmost importance. That’s why my neighbors, clients, and friends have trusted me to care for their furry friends over the years. I have worked with puppies, senior dogs, dogs with impaired sight, and animals with extra needs (e.g., socialization manors, special diets, etc.). My sweet pitbull, Esme, is an allergy dog who is also deaf. So, I have experience administering medications and working with animals with impaired hearing.
Reviews
Once again, Lauren saves the day! I was able to book her services last minute and she did a great job taking care of my two cats. She’s really kind and loving toward the cats, and very thorough with her care and communication. I felt at ease while I was out of town knowing that Lauren was looking after my cats. Highly recommend!
Lauren was an excellent sitter and went above and beyond and taking care of our dog, even though she had a bit of a medical complication while Lauren was sitting her. Really appreciate her attention to detail and how well she took care of our dog
Lauren was super commutative and kind every step of the way! 10/10!
Lauren was great and our cat had a great time!
