Pet care experience

Love your pets like my own 🐾

Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with Labrador Retrievers and have always been the person who loves being around animals and helping care for them. Over the years, I’ve cared for many dogs for family, friends, and others, giving me experience with different breeds, sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels. I currently have one cat of my own, and I’ve also had years of experience caring for cats. One of my cats was rescued when she was only 3 weeks old, and I bottle fed and cared for her from the very beginning. She was part of my family for 17 years, and that experience taught me how important patience, consistency, and paying attention to the little things can be when caring for an animal. I love getting to know each pet as an individual and learning their routines, quirks, and favorite things. Whether I’m taking an energetic dog for a walk, giving a senior pet some extra patience and attention, or keeping a cat company at home, I genuinely enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and well being will always be my top priority. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, and any special instructions before you leave. I’m very attentive to the little things and will always keep an eye out for anything that seems unusual or out of the ordinary. I also believe communication is just as important as great pet care. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos during my visits so you can see how your pet is doing and enjoy some peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and loved and for you to feel confident that you chose the right person to care for them.

Lauren took such great care of my dogs. She is consistent in her scheduling and communication. She bonded with both of my dogs immediately. The fur children adore her!!

Lauren was an absolutely amazing sitter for my two cats!! She accommodated me on short notice and was very responsive from start to finish. She made my cats feel very comfortable and even gave them extra attention when they needed it. It is very clear that she is an experienced care taker and put my mind at ease so that we could enjoy our vacation. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet care!

Lauren was so kind and did such a great job with my elderly baby who has a specific regimen and diet. Lots of photos each day of both kitties and detailed updates.

Lauren, watched our cats for 10 days and was magnificent! She is communicative and able to adapt to any issues that arise. We will most definitely be requesting her services again in the future. Highly recommend if you want an exemplary professional!

Schedule

I recently moved to Knoxville and decided to dedicate my time to doing what I truly love, caring for animals. Because Rover is now my main focus, I have a very flexible schedule and can be available throughout the day for walks, drop ins, feedings, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I’m able to work around your pet’s normal routine rather than asking them to fit into mine. Whether they’re used to a midday walk, have specific feeding times, need medication, or just enjoy having someone around during the day, I’m happy to accommodate their routine as much as possible. My goal is to make your time away easier by giving your pet the same love, attention, and consistency they’re used to at home.

Every pet is different, and I want to know what makes your pet unique! Please feel free to tell me anything you think is important from their daily routine and favorite things to their quirks, fears, or any special care they may need. Whether your pet needs medication, has specific feeding instructions, is nervous around new people, has lots of energy, or simply loves extra cuddles, I’m happy to accommodate them. The more I know about your pet, the better I can make them feel comfortable and cared for. I can’t wait to get to know your pet, learn all about their personality, and give them plenty of love and attention while you’re away! 🐾
