Information Lauren P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dogs have any special needs or personality characteristics. I am a foster dog parent with Austin Pets Alive! as well as care for my own. My dog Raine is sweet but doesn't like super aggressive personalities.

A typical day

I have had 2 high energy Aussies for the last decade. We love to go for long nature walks, making sure to stop and sniff all the smells and we play chase or fetch a ball in the yard! I am down for high energy personalities or chill senior dogs who just need some care and company. :)

Pet care experience

I’m not just an animal lover — I was grew up on a ranch surrounded by animals and in a home full of dogs. Caring for them has been a natural part of my life for decades. I’ve raised and loved two of my own for over ten years so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets like family.

Lauren was a great pet sitter as always. We have used her numerous times and will continue to do so. We appreciate her flexibility, dedication to our animals, and the care she takes to follow instructions. Definitely recommend!

Lauren did such a great job taking care of Benny while we were away. She is super quick to respond and great at sending photo and video updates. Will definitely book again!

Lauren was a fantastic cat sitter who sent us a bunch of good pictures and took great care of our cats. Our cats are very shy and she was taking care of them right after we just went through a big move so they were more shy but she was able to quickly connect with them. She followed all instructions well and we really appreciated her communication and fast responses to our messages. Would book with her again and would definitely recommend!
