Hey ya'll! Just happy to be here!
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Lauren :) I've grown up with pets- I have lived with dachshund's, Pit Bulls, Terriers, Shar Pei's, Golden Retrievers, Miniature Pinscher's, and Shih Tzu's. I have also lived with various cats, including Red Spotted and Maine Coon. I also have a few years of professional experience, as I animal-sat in various cities since the age of 15 (a few in Texas, Saint Louis, and Chicago). I understand that all animals have their own personalities and needs, and am experienced with handling kittens and puppies, as well as elderly animals! I am used to giving medicine, both oral and in food. I respect boundaries, but also know when to hold my ground. I dont mind playing rough, love bites, or vocal animals! I am also a runner of 8 years, so I can run with your furrball if you want! My motto is to keep good vibes, and there are no bad animals. I believe mutual respect is important! I love love love animals, and hope I can be what yours needs!
Reviews
Lauren is amazing!!! I was so anxious about finding someone to house sit and watch my senior dog (with a good amount of separation anxiety) over Christmas this year and Lauren did such an incredible job. She was so communicative and sent me updates & pictures everyday I was gone. She put all of my worries at ease, thank you so much Lauren!!!!
Gigi loved Lauren immediately. Look forward to future dog walks. Thanks Lauren!
Sorry for my late review. Lauren was wonderful being with my dog Yuuki. She is charming, upbeat and responsible. I'd like to ask her to watch my dog again. :) Thank you.
Amazing sitter! Sent us photos of our little guy and watched our house while on vacation away from him for the first time. Highly recommend Lauren

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am comfortable with entering passcodes, finding keys, and/or calling into systems to enter houses. I know some pets have routines, and so I am super patient with anxious animals, and will wait until everyone is comfortable to proceed. I am also super respectful of house rules and can totally water your plants as well, haha!
Home
Information Lauren V. would like to know about your pet
I'd love to know of some boundaries I should keep, any medical needs, and any sounds they dont like. I just want to make them as comfortable with me as possible! I am available on all days, but the time varies. Please message me for more details on availability!! Thank you :)
A typical day
I am very adaptable, depending on your animals needs! I am able to go on runs and continue training for active animals, as well as play with toys and do stimulating obstical courses! I also enjoy giving good pets and rubs, as well as going for swims. I usually walk upwards of 4 miles a day, so I love long walks to parks or going on hikes. If your little furball wants to chill, we can chill, but if they want to go crazy, we can go crazy :D
