Highlights
Pet care experience
The best things in life have paws!
Ever since I was a little girl, I've had a compassion for animals and they have always been a part of my everyday lifestyle. I am enthusiastic about learning and understanding all different types of animals. They all deserve the very best care and that's what I'm here for! I am a CPS-DW Certified Pet Sitter and Dog Walker and I also attained my Cat and Dog Pet First Aid Certification through American Red Cross. These certifications demonstrate my commitment and expertise to best practices in pet care. I have 9 years of hands-on professional experience in this specialty. Prior to becoming a CPS-DW, I worked at a local pet care service facility for many years caring for various breeds of boarded dogs, cats and exotics (birds, rabbits, ferrets etc.) I've also helped take care of rescue dogs that were in the process of being adoptable. I am passionate and continuously looking for ways to expand my knowledge when it comes to pet care, temperaments, nutrition, handling, exercising and administering medications. Those medicines include numerous topicals, ear meds, eye meds, pills taken orally and injections such as insulin to dogs/cats as needed. I also have experience in overnight services where I stayed in my clients home caring for their pets/home while they were away. I have knowledge on pet behavior and can provide senior care to dogs and cats. I would be happy to offer overnight services to you once I'm familiar to your pup, their daily routines and their homes.

Safety, trust & environment
I walk my Australian Shepherd, Nico on a leash almost 100% of the time. He tends to run off if not leashed and chases other animals in sight. I always make sure safety is my top priority when walking/playing outside. When caring for dogs in my clients home I always make sure they are properly handled and safely harnessed while walking around their neighborhood/parks and in contact with other dogs. I also make aware of my surroundings at all times while they are in my care.
Ratings and reviews
Lauren is the best! This was the first time we had left our fur babies (2 dogs, a guinea pig and 2 ferrets) with anyone other than family and she set all our anxiety at ease. From arranging a meet and greet right up until our last day of vacation, she was prompt in responding to all our messages, sent updates and pics with every visit and when we returned the pets were all healthy, happy and their areas were cleaner than they are when we're home! We will 100% be calling on Lauren again for our next vacation!
Lauren was so easy to communicate with! She’s so sweet and loving with my dogs I’ll absolutely be booking again!
Lauren did a fantastic job with our dogs. We were so nervous about leaving them, especially because one is battling cancer and needs meds several times a day. Lauren was able to handle the medications and the personalities of all the pups!! She also sent picture multiple times a day which put us at ease.
Lauren has been caring for our crazy Golden Retriever puppy for the last few months. She has watched her grow up and they have a special bond. Leia goes crazy when Lauren walks in. She is always available when needed and gets back to us super quick. She even messages me to see if we need her, to which we usually do. Leia and I both appreciate her help.
Lauren was amazing with our pups! Will 100% be booking with her again in the future!
I highly recommend Lauren when thinking of someone to care for your pets. Lauren was an employee for many years a pet care services facility that I owned and cared for dogs, cats and exotics (rabbits, ferrets, birds, etc.) She was always reliable, on time and extremely caring and compassionate for the animals that were in her care. She is capable of administrating medications as well as giving insulin injections should you need those services as well. I promise you will be very happy with Lauren and know that your best friends are getting exactly what they need in your absence.

Schedule
Pet care is currently my full-time job. My schedule is flexible and I always try to the best of my ability to book new and existing clients. I can also arrange weekend care as well, if needed.
