Safety, trust & environment

While at your home, I will watch your pets carefully to assure they are being safe while getting to spend time outside or just receiving some companionship. I will be sure to fill all food and water bowls (if applicable) before I leave to ensure your pets have access to basic needs.

Information Lauren S. would like to know about your pet

I will treat your animals as I treat my own so they can expect lots of love and care! Please let me know if your pet has any aggressive behavior, resource guarding, separation anxiety, is afraid of loud noises, etc. If you have a specific way of comforting or training your pets, please tell me so I can help with consistency. For walks, I prefer to have the dog harnessed but if that is not doable, that is perfectly fine! If your pet is crate trained, let me know if you would prefer them to be crated or have free run so when I leave, I know your animal is comfortable and I am following your routine.

A typical day

While taking care of your fur babies, I will take your pets on walks around the neighborhood, play in the yard with toys or simply enjoy some sun bathing if high energy activities are not their style! For our feline friends, I’d love to toss some toys around, play with a feather chaser, give a quick brush or just sit and give a few pets to comfort them!

Pet Loving Veterinary Technician

Pet care experience

Growing up, my family has always had pets whether they were dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, hermit crabs or fish. This inspired me to receive my Associates degree in Veterinary Technology in 2024 at Del Tech then sit for and pass the VTNE to become an LVT (Licensed Veterinary Technician). I love animals dearly and would be happy to care for your pets during the day when their beloved ones are away from the house. I will care for your pet(s) as if they were my own! Whether we go for a walk together, run around the yard, give them a quick meal or just provide general companionship, I look forward to meeting your furbabies!

As always, Lauren did an amazing job caring for my dog Phoebe. She is professional, reliable, and conscientious. I know Phoebe is in good hands with Lauren. Highly recommend.

Lauren is outstanding - so professional, communicative, and I feel confident that my dog and home are well cared for while I’m away. She takes extra care to help my dog adjust to changes and the house always looks better than how I left it. Highly recommend Lauren!

Lauren was great! Very communicative and our pups loved her! We came home to healthy happy dogs, which was so comforting. As a bonus, our house was cleaner when we came home than when we left. Completely unexpected, but much appreciated! Highly recommend!
