Lauren can care for
Availability
Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around walks and drop-in visits, allowing plenty of time for each pet so they’re never rushed. Caring for my own dog and cats every day keeps me consistent, attentive, and flexible, and I plan client visits thoughtfully to ensure reliable, calm, and focused care.

About Lauren S.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible, whether in my home or in my client’s home. For drop-in visits and walks, I make sure pets are fed, walked, and given plenty of attention and affection, along with any enrichment they enjoy. I pay close attention to safety, cleanliness, and each pet’s comfort, and I always take time to observe their behavior and needs so they feel secure, calm, and well cared for while their owners are away.
Information Lauren S. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know your pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs ahead of time, including feeding schedules, medications, behavioral quirks, and preferences. I also like to know how your pet responds to new people, other animals, and changes in routine so I can provide care that feels familiar, safe, and stress-free.
A typical day
I tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level. For dogs, that may include relaxed walks, sniffing and exploring their surroundings, gentle play, or structured exercise depending on their needs. For cats, I focus on interactive play, enrichment, brushing, and quiet companionship. Above all, I aim to make time together feel fun, comforting, and engaging without overstimulating them.

Pet care experience
What sets me apart is my calm, intuitive approach to pet care. I’m the proud human of a poodle with a mohawk and two cats, so I’m fluent in both high-energy zoomies and quiet companionship. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that’s patient walks, extra reassurance for seniors, or playful engagement for younger pups. I’m especially great with senior pets, shy animals, and pets who need a steady, gentle presence. I don’t rush visits, I don’t overwhelm, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own pack—because that’s how I’d want mine cared for.
Reviews
Lauren was great! My babies were relaxed with her and thats the best endorsement.
Lauren responded quickly and was very accommodating for our short notice request. We loved the communication throughout the day including photos of our happy dogs. We highly recommend!
Lauren was absolutely fantastic with my two dogs Hank and Alice. She was very professional and always on time. I really enjoyed the fact that she took the time to take photos of her visit and through the pictures I could see that she was so caring and attentive, she showed them a lot of love and they couldn’t wait to see her. I would strongly recommend Lauren for any dog sitting needs you might have.
We are super pleased with Lauren’s time with our very active husky, Nova! Lauren is very professional and prompt everyday. Nova goes bananas when she sees her coming down the driveway! Lauren has a very kind and gentle way of dealing with our high energy fur baby .
