Highlights
Pet care experience
Safe, loving pet care always
Hello! I have over 20 years of experience caring for animals and truly love what I do. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, attention, and lots of affection. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is getting to know each animal’s unique personality and building trust with them. I’m experienced with a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, fish, and small mammals. I grew up in a home full of pets—everything from reptiles (even a pygmy caiman!) to birds and fish—so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I’m comfortable administering medications and can also help with light household tasks like watering plants, bringing in mail, and taking out trash. I always provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. References are available upon request. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets! 🐾

Ratings and reviews
Lauren is awesome! We truly appreciate her for taking such great care of Rylee and being so flexible when our flight was delayed.
Lauren was fabulous. She just loved on our dog. She took him on a walk both in the morning and in the evening, which is my dog's absolute favorite thing to do. She even let him sleep on her bed.
Lauren is the best sitter Chief’s ever had. She made him feel so comfortable, kept him exercised and socialized, and use discretion when it came to his needs/comfort level. Thanks for taking such good care of my guy and putting my mind at ease while I was away, Lauren!
Appreciated that Lauren shared pictures during taffy’s stay. Lauren’s insight into senior dogs made us feel comfortable
I almost don’t want to tell anyone how much we LOVED Lauren because she’ll get too busy to sit for us. Lauren was so friendly, took such good care of our house and dogs, and sent updates and photos daily. And the dogs loved her! They snuggled on her every chance they got. Cannot recommend her enough, except for those time periods when we need her, okay?
Lauren is a fantastic sitter. She was so patient with my timid, sensitive guy. I really appreciate her knowledge and awareness about more difficult dog breeds. I’d recommend Lauren to anyone.

Schedule
I work from home, so your pet receives lots of attention, frequent potty breaks, short walks throughout the day, plus plenty of love and care.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I care for every pet as if they were my own, while always following each owner’s specific instructions and preferences. I know every animal is different, so I tailor my care to match their personality, energy level, and routine. For example, some pets prefer a calm, home-based environment with short, simple walks and lots of relaxation time. Others thrive on activity and adventure—I’ve cared for dogs who enjoy multiple daily walks, park visits, and even hikes. I’m happy to adjust based on what makes your pet happiest and most comfortable. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets safe, maintaining their routine, and giving them the right balance of exercise, attention, and affection.
A typical day
I love keeping pets active, engaged, and happy! Depending on their energy level and your preferences, we’ll enjoy walks, hikes, trips to the park, and games like fetch. I also like to reinforce any commands or tricks they already know to keep their minds stimulated. If allowed, I enjoy bringing pets along with me to pet-friendly places so they get extra socialization and enrichment. Of course, I always tailor activities to what your pet enjoys most—whether that’s adventure-filled outings or relaxed playtime at home.
