Pet care experience

Lifelong Animal Lover with 9 Years

I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals and caring for them is more than just a job—it’s what I love. I live on a farm and have worked on multiple farms over the years, gaining hands-on experience with just about every kind of animal you can imagine. From dogs and cats to horses, pigs, cows, chickens, goats, and ducks, I’ve cared for them all. With 9 years of hands-on experience in pet care, plus years of fostering dogs and cats, I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I currently have two dogs and three cats of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I treat every animal like family and always focus on keeping them safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I always use secure leashes and harnesses, closely monitor pets during walks and visits, and follow any special instructions you provide. Living and working on farms has taught me to stay alert, calm, and prepared in all situations. I’m experienced with multi-pet households, high-energy dogs, seniors, and animals that may need a little extra patience or care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and never take risks with their well-being.

Lauren has taken care of Savanna's needs as a senior cat well. Trying to make sure she was loved while we were gone! Thank you Lauren! Savanna will see you again in September!

Lauren has been wonderful with our pups. We utilize her for drop in visits throughout the week and she is reliable, accommodating, and interacts lovingly with our babies the full time she is booked (which we haven’t always had success with in the past.) Thank you Lauren for your care!

Schedule

I’m currently a full-time student at the University of Tennessee pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Business. Most of my classes are online, so my schedule is very flexible. During the week, I occasionally cater for Texas Roadhouse, and I bartend Friday evenings and Saturday and Sunday mornings. If I have enough notice, I’m often able to request time off or have shifts covered to better accommodate your pet’s needs. I’ll always communicate my schedule ahead of time so you know exactly what to expect, and I work hard to provide dependable, attentive care for every pet.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs

Lauren can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
I like to know about your pet’s routine, energy level, feeding schedule, medical needs, behavioral quirks, and any special instructions before your booking begins. Please let me know if your pet has anxiety, allergies, medications, or doesn’t get along with other animals. I’d also love to know about any preferences you have for their care—things you’d like me to do or avoid doing, house rules, or any specific expectations you have while you’re away. The more detailed and clear you are about your pet’s routine and your expectations, the better I can care for them and make sure everyone has a great experience.
