Loving Family-Based Pet Care
Loving Family-Based Pet Care with Daily Updates | West Hills + Greater LA We offer gentle, Christian home-based care with 20+ years of experience, a fenced yard, toddler-loving energy, and lots of cuddles. Photo updates included! With over 20 years of pet care experience, I bring the heart of a family and the knowledge of a professional. I grew up helping my family run a trusted pet sitting company—bonded, insured, and a member of Pet Sitters International. Today, I run my own in-home care service with my husband and our three gentle boys under age 3, who adore animals and are learning how to care for them with love and respect. I’ve worked with senior dogs, puppies, special needs pets, and even farm animals. I understand every pet has a unique personality and needs, and I tailor care plans to ensure they feel safe, seen, and loved while you’re away.

Ratings and reviews
Lauren has worked for us for the past month and our two puppies love her. We have a three-year-old Australian Labradoodle and one-year-old golden doodle. She takes them on walks, feeds them and plays with them. We receive video and updates. When Lauren gets there the puppies are so excited to see her jumping, running around and bringing their bones to her. We will definitely continue to use Lauren
Lauren V. came to my house to walk my daughter's dog which I was dog-sitting. Sisko is only 2 1/2 years old and very strong, too strong for me to handle, should he decide to chase a rabbit. But Lauren knew how to handle him. Every day Sisko was waiting at the side window for Lauren and got really excited when he saw her. Lauren is very conscientious about reporting what the dog is doing during the walk. I like that about her. She is also very kind, and I will not hesitate to hire her for a future job, either for walking or actually sitting day and/or night for my own dog.
Lauren took care of our family dogs for a few months! She did a great job - dogs loved her and we couldn't have been happier with their condition.
Lauren is friendly and will make sure your dog is taken care of well! She has ample experience in dog sitting and truly loves dogs!
Lauren is amazing. She has watched my dogs, cat, lizard and parakeets. She’s enthusiastic, trustworthy and my doggies and cat love her. She sends constant updates and photos giving me comfort when I am out of town. She’s a true animal lover and so very kind. I highly recommend Lauren. Look no further! Lauren is the BEST.
Lauren pet-sits for any types of pets. She had more than 10 years of experience with animals. She had pet-sitted for small and big dogs and cats before. She knows when to take out the pets, to feed them, and takes them to the doctor if she sees anything wrong with them. She's a very caring, genuine, responsible, and very good with both dogs and cats. You can put your trust in Lauren to take care of your pets!

Schedule

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We live in a clean, cozy home in West Hills with both gated grass and concrete yards—perfect for play or rest depending on your pet’s needs. We keep things peaceful and crate-free unless otherwise requested. Your pet will enjoy companionship from two loving adult dogs and lots of warm, family care. I’m also trained in oral medication administration and comfortable supporting special care needs.
A typical day
We start the day with a walk or stroller wagon trip to the nearby dog park, followed by breakfast and gentle play. If your dog is energetic, we’ll incorporate fetch, light jogs, or enrichment games. If they’re more relaxed, they’ll enjoy cozy snuggles, shade breaks, and quiet time while staying close to our family. I send photo and video updates throughout the day to help you stay connected and at ease.
