Medically trained cat caretaker!
Pet care experience
Skilled animal care taker with current experience in fostering cats and works at a local animal shelter weekly. I am mostly trained in senior and sick animals since the shelter has trained me for the medical team for the shelter animals and fosters I take care of. To note: I am focused solely on cat care as that is my specialty. Any details relating to dogs will actually only apply to cats. I board and do visits all ranges of cats, no matter the age, size or litter.
Reviews
Lauren is amazing! I had such a horrible experience with rover in the past and was very nervous leaving my cat for 7 days, especially since she has medical problems. Lauren eased my worries and sent photos and updates daily. She is a kitty expert and knew all the tips and tricks with her medical problems. I seriously can’t recommend her enough. I would give 6 stars if I could.
Lauren watched my diabetic cat for a week. I was a little worried at first as this was the very first time leaving him with a stranger & away from my home. Lauren quickly put me & my kitty at ease. After just a few hours she sent us a video of my kitty happily exploring her house. Throughout the week she sent me several pics & videos to keep me reassured that he was in great hands. I will definitely use Lauren again on my next time away from home.
I highly recommend Lauren as a pet sitter. She deeply cares for all of her pets and has fostered many litters. She has taken the most sick litters and nursed them back to health. She is medically trained to take care of many medical issues in cats and has spent countless hours at her local cat shelter. She treats all animals as if they were her own.
Lauren has been working with pets for several years now. She loves and cares for them as if her own, fostering many sick to health and 3 cats of her own. I recommend her for my pet. She has been responsible and shares excellent communication skills. You won’t regret having her care for your furry friends.

Home
Information Lauren R. would like to know about your pet
Feeding schedule, things that make them feel like they're at home, treats they like, any special needs or medication that needs to be given are things I need to know before booking.
A typical day
If your cat were to be boarding with me, I have a catio full of toys, stocked with catnip and calming pheromones, and a three-tier cage if isolation is need. Additional rooms are available if a cat needs their own environment separate from my personal animals. If doing a daily check-up, litter box will be cleaned and water/food will be stocked as needed. Length of drop in will depend on owner preference and cat activity level if owner would like cat socialized.
