Highlights
Pet care experience
Your neighborhood animal whisperer!
A trusted caretaker, I have been the friend and family go-to for daytime check-ins, overnight sitting, and romantic dog walks for tons of pets over the years! My entire life has been filled with animals, only one year spent without a four-legged companion in my home. I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages, understanding their needs with patience and love. I have also handled medical accommodation for aging or injured pets, including: special dietary needs, physical limitations, diabetic insulin shots, and post-surgery care.

Lauren also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
Your home is their domain, and I treat it with care - it’s important to ensure the area is safe, clean, and respected. All necessities are put back where they belong, accidents are cleaned up, and anything out of the ordinary is reported to you ASAP.
Ratings and reviews
Lauren was very nice and super understanding of my dogs needs and behaviors. I loved that we got to do a meet and greet before booking, because to me that shows that she cares about making sure she is a right fit for what is needed. She sent photos and left great notes for each drop in visit she made. It was super helpful.
Lauren is incredible. We found her last minute and had recently moved to Dallas. She did a fantastic job watching our fur babies and went above and beyond. We came home to happy girls and a clean home. Lauren is prompt and communicative. 10 out of 10 stars.
Lauren took very good care of my two senior cats when we were away for 4 days, doing twice a day drop-ins. She made sure they got meds on time, visits were always punctual and she spent the full time with them each visit. I’m so happy we found her, I will absolutely book with Lauren again!
We’ve had a great experience with Lauren! She is quick to respond and so caring! We will def be rebooking with Lauren
I have known Lauren since 2019. She was my neighbor and has helped me several times each year since then watching and taking care of my two dogs while I was out on vacation. She would walk them, feed them, play with them, and give them endless amounts of love. If there was an accident, she would clean it up. She also picked up their feces on walks, which is VERY important. I have leaned on Lauren almost every time I need a pet sitter because of how responsible she is with my babies. They adore her and get very excited every time she sees them. They know who she is and can’t wait to spend time with her! They don’t even know it’s a job! I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a loyal and trustworthy person to assist with any aspect of taking care of one’s pets.
Lauren has cared for my Golden Retriever, Casey, since 2020 as well as my two dachshunds since 2024. This involved multiple walks daily, and even just visiting during the day for playtime. She is a pure animal lover who my pets warmed to immediately. Highly recommended!
