About Lauren Z.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Although I am unable to care for your pet within my own home, I am able and willing to give your pet lots of play time, walk, and love in the comfort of their own home!
Information Lauren Z. would like to know about your pet
I am currently only accepting requests for drop-ins and dog walks. I will not accept any requests for overnight care. Upon receiving a request for services, I will require a meet and greet (new clients only) so that I can get to know you and your pet as well as what to expect during a visit. I may charge additional fees if the request is outside of my service radius. During the meet and greet, please be as descriptive and explicit as possible when providing care instructions. The care that I provide is strongly based on instructions from the owner. If there is anything that I can do to make your pet more comfortable, please let me know. My goal is to ease the minds of both the pet and owner that I will provide the utmost support and care.
A typical day
I love dog walking (serves as great exercise for both the dog and myself)! I also love engaging in backyard play and positive reinforcement, whatever makes your pup comfortable and happy!

Reviews

Lauren was very good with my kitten. She cared about her as if she was her own. I will highly recommend Lauren to anyone! I will book her again! Lori



Lauren took care of our kids for a long trip, and I had peace of mind that they were in good hands! So happy to have a great pet sitter now!


Lauren has sitted for us multiple times and she goes above and beyond caretaking expectations. She is courteous with our home and the little ones have become accustomed to her presence. Highly recommend to others, especially for first-time pet owners.

I can't recommend Lauren enough! My cat Bruce is very shy, easily startled, and can have some pretty big feelings when meeting new people. From the very beginning, she was incredibly patient, understanding, and respectful of his unique personality. She never tried to force interactions and instead let him warm up at his own pace, which meant so much to me. She provided thoughtful updates, made sure all of his needs were met, and gave me more peace of mind while I was away. Lauren always kept in touch and was in constant communication about Bruce. It was clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after and understands that every pet is different. I came home to a well-cared-for cat, and I'm so grateful for the kindness and professionalism she showed. I would absolutely book with Lauren again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and dependable pet sitter.
