Highlights
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.

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.
Ratings and reviews
Lauren went above and beyond our highest expectations. She walked our dog, Gunner, daily on whichever route he picked. She constantly communicated with us, sending photos of his walks. We came home to an immaculate house, as she vacuumed the house and laundered sheets, towels, etc. we couldn’t have been more satisfied with Lauren.
Lauren was great. She took good care of our kitties and gave very detailed updates. I also really appreciated all of the pictures!
We had such a great experience with Lauren! She was amazing with our dogs and cat, and we felt completely comfortable having her stay at our house. She was super communicative, sent us lots of photos and updates, and took such great care of everything. We came home to happy pets and a house that was in great shape. We really couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would definitely have her stay again!
Lauren was great with the dogs. I love that she sent pictures each day.
Lauren has been the biggest help to me this week!! I had to double my hours at work and she was SO GREAT with my two big GSDs!! They totally adore her and she loves them and I never worried a minute while I was gone. 3 thumbs up and 11 /10 stars!!!
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!

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.

- 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.
