Momma with a passion for pets!

Pet care experience

Years of experience in the animal care industry including working in a high-end pet boarding & grooming facility for over 3 years & most recently working as a vet tech since July 2019. On Thanksgiving morning of last year I sustained an injury at work that required surgery to fix. Unfortunately this has resulted in not being able to return to such a high impact/physically demanding job. HOWEVER this has given me the opportunity to offer pet care FULL TIME & I am now able to work around any schedules/times with no worries about having to deny anyone services because of a 9-5 job. No friend is too big or too small- I have experience with them all! Every animal family member I meet holds a special place in my heart; I truly love them all as if they were my own. I pride myself in extensive knowledge of basic dog behavior; I was a dog trainer for almost 2 years. Working in boarding facilities, I have knowledge of how to care for senior pets, as well as pets with special needs. Working in a grooming department has taught me about many different dog breeds & how to handle each pet in a manner in which they feel safe & comfortable. As a veterinary technician I gained immense amounts of knowledge of different diseases, illnesses, treatments, nutrition, medication etc. I am able to administer medications & Subcutaneous fluids if necessary. With so many years of knowledge & experience caring for animals of all species (reptiles, fish, avians, small mammals, birds etc) I am confident in my ability to care for your animal babies as if they were my own! I can’t wait to meet my next new furry, feathered or scaly friend!!

Aunt Lauren is the best! She’s so good with my crew that when I come home they’re disappointed that I am back!

Lauren did a great job watching our animals and house for 2 weeks. Also she was flexible to stay extra when our flight got delayed. Sends lots of pictures.

Information Lauren U. would like to know about your pet

I do not have breed or species restrictions; I get along with every kind of animal friend! I do ask that if your doggo has any quirks (dog aggressive, cage aggressive, food aggressive, doesn't like males/females, etc) that I am made aware ahead of time so that I may plan accordingly to your pet’s special needs!! Also, if your pet(s) have any allergies of any kind; I would like to know so that I can be cautious of what food & treats are OK to give.

A typical day

I will be more than happy to explore your local neighborhood, parks or short trails with your pet! If you have a yard—PERFECT for outside play with your pet(s). Does your doggo do well on car rides? If so, driving to the nearest coffee shop to get a puppucino is always a fun(& rewarding!) adventure! For those pets who prefer more hands-on attention, I am more than happy to provide some one on one TLC!
