I treat your pets like family

Pet care experience

Hi! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, from my Step Mom’s sweet senior dachshund who lived to be 19, to my parent’s newest addition to the family - an energetic pitbull mix, to my own 4-year-old cat who keeps me on my toes. I’ve also spent years cat sitting and dog sitting for friends and neighbours, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. In addition to pet care, I work in end-of-life care, where compassion, patience, and attentiveness are essential every day. That experience deeply informs how I care for animals, especially senior pets or those who need a little extra love and understanding. Whether it’s a high-energy dog or a shy cat, I meet them where they are and care for them like they’re my own. I’d love to be your trusted pet sitter or dog walker, and give you peace of mind while you’re away

Lauren was great, very personable and responsive. She took great care of our cat while we were away and I'll definitely be rebooking again!

Lauren was great and she went above and beyond to help me out when I was traveling and needed to touch base. I felt like I could trust her and my cat was perfectly happy when I got back! So all good things. Won't hesitate to ask her next time I travel.

If reliability, good communication and genuine caring for your pet are what you need from a pet co-parent. Lauren is your lady. She understands the importance of being consistent with a dog, and asked good questions - I loved that.
