Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in your home, I ensure they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, providing walks, playtime, feeding, and any special care they may need within my capabilities. I’m attentive to their emotional well-being, offering affection, companionship, and reassurance while you are away. I’ll also keep your home tidy if pet sitting in your home and can provide updates to give you peace of mind.

Information Lauren S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are certain behaviors unique to your pet that I need to be mindful of, certain commands you use, or special care details. I appreciate over-communication about their care needs to ensure your pet is well taken care of. If there are specific cleaning instructions or supplies you would like me to use, please communicate that as well as ensure all supplies are easily accessible. Additionally, I will offer a discount if you are booking 3+ animals for 3 or more nights. I’ll communicate with you about this after you’ve requested services. I am happy to work with you to ensure best service and care can be provided. I’m happy to offer meet and greets to ensure a great fit and provide peace of mind for you and your pets. For bookings that include multiple visits or overnight stays, meet and greets are complimentary within 10 minutes of my location. For one-time drop-in visits, or if you’re located more than 10 minutes away, I do charge a small fee to help cover travel and time. I’ll always communicate this clearly ahead of time, and I’m happy to explore alternatives like a virtual meet and greet or combining it with the first visit when possible. Thank you for understanding and for valuing the time and care that go into making sure your pets are in good hands!

A typical day

We will go for walks, explore surrounding areas as able, and enjoy more low-key moments together at home. It’s fun for me to learn about the unique needs of all the pets I care for.

Experienced, attentive pet care

Pet care experience

I am spending the summer in Wisconsin with family and would love to meet your pets! I’ve got a lifetime of experience with pups and cats and a deep understanding of their needs. Growing up, my family always had 3 dogs (big, little, and everything in between) and cats, and they became dear companions. I provide personal care, ensuring each pet feels safe, loved, and at home. I know leaving your buddy in someone’s care requires trust, so I am attuned to both the physical and emotional well-being of your dog or cat. Whether through play, walks, or snuggles during quiet moments, I’ll treat your buddy with a high-level of care.

Lauren, thank you for taking such good care of my dog and my home! I know the 4th of July was particularly hard for her with all the fireworks. I greatly appreciate all the updates, pictures and just knowing you were there with her! My neighbors said how nice you were! I appreciate everything and will definitely reach out to you to care for Scarlet in the future! I highly recommend Lauren!!

Lauren always goes above and beyond with our dogs! She checks in, send the best updates/pictures, and even goes as far as to brush them / vacuum their hair / clean any accidents. She always checks in with us before doing anything and we feel so comfortable and confident while she watches our boys! Highly recommend!

Wonderful dog sitter! Our dog was happy and well cared for, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. We will definitely book again!
