Pet care experience

attentive care for dogs & cats!

Hi! I've been taking care of both dogs and cats for 5 years and I have a deep love for both animals! You can count on me to treat every pet with the same exact care and love that I'd want for my own. I have two cats at home (that act like dogs 😁) but I absolutely adore dogs and have worked with all kinds of pets, from high energy pups/kittens to rescues who might need some extra patience and comfort. I genuinely love going for walks, so if you have a dog that needs to burn off energy on longer strolls, they'll be in great hands! I look forward to meeting you and your babies!

Safety, trust & environment

Security and safety are my top priorities when entering your home for walks or drop in visits. I always double check that doors, gates, and windows are securely locked behind me, and I completely respect your living space like it's my own. For walks, I keep dogs on a secure leash at all times, stay mindful of hot pavement or extreme weather, and avoid interactions with other animals or off leash dogs, just to be safe! During drop ins, I do check the area for any hazards, make sure fresh water is always available, and stick strictly to your instructions for feeding, medication, or entry/exit rules.

Lauren was so wonderful with my pup! Roo loved her and went on lovely walks together. Lauren was super helpful with little notice (sorry!!) and was flexible with coordinating our schedules. Thanks again!!

Lauren was great! Helped clean up the dog mess in the house too without asking her to. Will definitely be booking again!

Lauren has done a great job taking care of my two cats for about a year. She always sends updates and is very patient with them. Would recommend.

Lauren is the best pet sitter and walker you could ask for. Lauren is gentle, dependable and always goes above and beyond to make our dog feel so loved and cared for. I have been trusting Lauren to take care of our dog for five years now and I know my sweet girl is in the best hands when they're together. I highly recommend Lauren.

Schedule

My schedule is very flexible as I'm only working part time currently, making it easy for me to accommodate specific times. Because I'm generally only out of the house for short 2-3 hour stretches for errands, I have great daytime availability! This allows me to stick strictly to your requested visit times, feeding schedules, and walk routines without delays.

Let me know what kind of personality your pet has, and of course any special diets, medications, or special requests for their routine. It is so important for me to know what to expect from them and to know everything I can to make sure we have the best time together!
