Safety, trust & environment

My cats and dog are well fed and loved having a morning meal time and an evening meal time. If your cats are on a schedule like mine I understand you’ll need me there twice a day. As a cat parent I also know how quickly the litter box fills up; I will gladly scoop once a day for so you don’t come home to a mess/smell! We do not have a fenced yard and my home so my dog comes out on a leash with me for her potty breaks, always supervised. We love taking a ride and going to small parks with a walking path or neighbors with sidewalks for safe carefree walkies.

Pet care experience

I became a cat lover at age 17 when I got my first kitten, Gemini. When she was 8 years old she was diagnosed with kidney failure and I had to provide to her hospice care in our home. During that time I gave Gemini sub-q fluids subcutaneously several and medications. After her passing I knew I couldn’t be without a cat in the home so I got two more! They are now 7 and very healthy and happy. About 2 years ago I got my special needs French bulldog who requires medications, special food and monthly vet visits. My animals have all taught me patience and compassion and increased my love for caring for those who cannot help themselves. Your fur babies will be in trustworthy hands when you are away.

Lauren did an excellent job looking after our two cats. Our cats were very comfortable interacting with Lauren, which is unusual for them as they tend to be quite shy.

Lauren was so sweet with my two cats, both my diabetic old man and my younger “ornery” cat. She is responsible, communicative, and most of all, caring. I would highly recommend Lauren for any pet sitting position, and I know my boys look forward to seeing her again

Lauren has so much love and compassion for animals. Caring for them comes so naturally for her. She’s helped me with my cat for the last 4 years when i travel. He tends to not be a people person besides our immediate family but has quickly grown to love Lauren as part of the family. The ease i feel leaving my baby with her, makes traveling alot easier! Lauren is definitely the person for the job.
