Active, experienced sitter/walker!

Pet care experience

Always eager to help out friends, family, and their pets, I have independently taken care of dogs and cats (and guinea pigs, bunnies, fish, and hermit crabs!) since I was 10 years old. This has included both house-sitting and drop-in care. Since moving to Boston in 2020, I have expanded my petsitting to include neighbors and new acquaintances in addition to friends. I have loved having the opportunity to meet and care for many adorable friends! I am a courteous, compassionate, and competent pet-sitter who will respect your pets and your space, communicate with you throughout my care, and adhere to the highest levels of professionalism when it comes to caring for your pets. My experience includes pet sitting puppies; small, medium-sized, and large dogs; rescue animals with various sensitivities; and Maine coon cats. While I don’t have any pets of my own, I’m lucky enough to live with my roommate's cat, Chewy! I aspire to be a cat and/or dog owner myself some day, once my living situation allows for that (Chewy isn’t very friendly towards other animals). I value pet-sitting as an opportunity for me to meet adorable animals while giving their owners peace of mind.

We have hired Lauren for multiple times to look after our cat when we are on vacation and she has been consistently doing a wonderful job! Would hire again and highly recommend to anyone else!

Lauren took fantastic care of my two cats this weekend! Her care for them was attentive and communicative, and my cats really enjoyed her company!

Lauren was wonderful with Kitten! I loved the updates and photos after every visit. She’s been very gentle and patient with Kitten and I couldn’t ask for more. :)

Lauren was excellent with our two cats! She was great to communicate with and gave details about how the cats were doing. I would definitely book with her again!

Information Lauren W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know how your dog responds to other people and animals. This will inform where I take them on walks, and how much distance I give other dog-walkers and their pets. It's also helpful to know what commands your dog responds to.

A typical day

I love walking around Jamaica Pond, in the arboretum, on the esplanade, through Boston Commons, and at Armory Park. If your dog has favorite spots, I'm always eager to explore new spaces!
