Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly & flexible pet care
Hello! My name is Lauren. I've raised several dogs and cats, including two senior dogs I adopted during a decade of employment in shelters and animal hospitals. I'm sensitive to a wide range of temperaments, experienced with behavioural challenges and health concerns or low mobility. I'm highly active and I love tiring out energetic animals. If your budget is limited, make me an offer!

Ratings and reviews
Excellent service and professionalism! Lauren took great care of my cat and made sure he got his meds while I was away, and included many pictures with every visit. It really put my mind at ease to know my lil guy was in such good hands, and I’ll absolutely be booking again!
Joey's stay with Lauren was perfect. We got regular updates with photos. This was her second stay with Lauren and we'll definitely book with her again!
Lauren takes excellent care of our cat Basil, and always includes daily photos. We are anxious pet parents so we love seeing these photos every day while we’re away. Lauren leaves our place today and neat, and always takes out the litter garbage as an added bonus. Thanks Lauren!!
Lauren’s extensive experience with pet care (including experience working in a vet hospital) set my mind at ease when I needed to find a somewhat last minute sitter for my dog Ollie, who’s in his senior years and has a sensitive little system. She was amazing with Ollie and sent lots of updates and adorable photos during their time together. I would absolutely book with Lauren again!
Our dog Ruby had such a great stay with Lauren! Ruby is an older pup and has developed doggie dementia, blindness and some hearing loss… all wrapped up with chihuahua temperament. Needless to say, it’s hard finding someone we can trust to care for Ruby as we do. Lauren hit all the marks! She was so gentle and considerate to Ruby’s quirks, and was so communicative with us while we were away. It made us feel very confident that Ruby was being well cared for while we were gone. 100% recommend Lauren for dog boarding, especially if you’ve got an older pup with extra needs!
We recently left our dog with Lauren for 2 whole weeks! We'd never left her this long with anyone and it was our first time using a Rover sitter for her. Lauren put us at ease by making time to meet with her long before we booked. We were invited into her home and shown her backyard, time to chat and ask questions. One of my main concerns in leaving our dog was that she has a gastro issue and therefore needs to eat multiple smaller meals throughout the day. The questions she had for us indicated a level of care, experience and dedication that I hadn’t seen in meeting previous Rover sitters. Anyone who has a fur baby knows its not easy to leave them with someone. It can cause a lot of anxiety for us humans, as well as our little ones. We were so happy with the care and love Lauren provided to her. She sent us multiple updates a day with amazing photos, which put our minds at ease. We were also in a different time zone, and Lauren still ensured we were kept up to date. Our pup enjoyed her own vacation, meeting new dog friends for walks and Lauren let her sleep in the bed! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lauren to anyone looking for someone to care for their animals and can't praise her enough! I think they developed a sweet bond and we are so grateful. Thank you so much again, Lauren!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I will rely on our communication while building rapport with your pet. I maintain a calm environment and I am sensitive to a wide range of temperaments. I take the responsibility of caring for your pet very seriously; I'm mindful of potential hazards including security (doors ajar, etc).
A typical day
I'm highly active and in the case your pet is too, you'll come home to a tired and happy animal. I'm also content staying around the house and engaged with older dogs or dogs without as much energy.
