Pet care experience

I’ve cared for cats for over 10 years, including fostering for over 5 years. I have experience with feral, timid, and senior cats and understand the importance of taking time to build trust with your pet. I tailor care to the needs of your pet, whether that be administering medications or monitoring food and water intake. My priority is to create a stress free and safe environment for your pet.

We had a great experience with Lauryn! She was responsive and communicative, and provided wonderful care for our fur baby, Stella. Looking forward to working with her again in the future!

Lauryn has watched my cat, who I love more than anything on this planet, many times and each time it has been a stress-free experience for both me and my little baby. Lauryn is very attuned to a cat's needs, as a great cat mom herself, and has made sure my very particular cat has what he needs at all times. She always dedicates a generous amount of her time to make sure that my cat has had the company he needs for the day and play with him until he's tired. She also sends several good pictures a day (if that's what you want)! If you expect a high level of care for your pet, I highly recommend Lauryn.

I have relied on Lauryn for cat care since 2015 and can confidently recommend her. She is responsible, trustworthy, and respectful of both pets and property. I have always felt at ease knowing she was caring for my cats in my home. She has a genuine understanding of cats and their individual personalities. Whether a cat is shy, playful, or particular, she adapts naturally to their needs. My cats are always calm and well cared for when she is with them. She is dependable, thoughtful, and truly dedicated to the well-being of animals.
