Pet care experience

♡ I'M YOUR PET'S BFF ♡

♡ As an owner of 4 Jack Russell Terrier Dachshund mixes, and a big fluffy cat, rest assured I will care for and keep your pet happy and safe. My 11 y.o. dog, Jackson, 4 y.o. Nala, 2-1/2 y.o. puppies (x2) - CrackerJack and Willow, and my 16 y.o. cat, Kiki, love to make new friends! (Kiki likes the back of the house normally, but was raised with doggos, and she is declawed in the front, so she is happily welcoming new friends, too!) We would all love to add your beloved pet to our friend's list! We all love puppy playtime, walks and playing fetch:) ♡ I am an energetic, fun-loving furbaby lover with lots of treats for your special friend. Your pup will get personalized service from me without hesitation. As my favorite handler says, "Learning an animal's language is a must!" ~ Caesar Milan ♡Message me with any questions or concerns you might have as you are away, and I will be happy to snap pictures, capture special photos, and videos of your furbaby(ies) while you are away, too! ♡ TLC INCLUDED ♡ I previously worked for The American Red Cross and taught Pet CPR and First Aid, so rest assured your pet will be in great hands! • I am currently in Rover training to be a dog trainer. Out of the four modules required, I have one left to complete! I aim to get certified by end-July!

Lauryn is amazing! I had another sitter cancel on me a few days before I was leaving for a month. She is a life saver 2 days before my trip she said she could take in my cat and my dog. She has pets of her own so I believe it was a great fit. She walked him everyday sent loads of updates. Very happy! ❤️

Schedule

As an Artist, I work from home, so I will be giving 24/7 care to your furbaby and give them special attention the entire day and night. 🐾 Typically, we all get up at 5.30-6.30a and I take them out, and we nap zzz for another hour or so. Then it's our walk time, and we like to go around the neighborhood as well as going to the boardwalk right next door for fun. We spend our days indoors and out and about, pending weather.

Safety, trust & environment

My yard is not fenced, but I take Jackson and Nala and the puppies for a walk every morning, and outside as needed (every two.ish hours). There is a fire hydrant right across the street from my front door- puppy approval 10/10! I recently purchased a baby gate, to open up in my front yard, for the furs to pay outside in! My four love it! (About the size of an SUV or so.)

Pets

A typical day

♡Your pet and I will enjoy walks along the boardwalk, city blocks, and the downtown Holland area. We will go to Kollen Park and play catch with a ball or frizbee, or just kick back for snuggles on the couch while watching Jackson's and Nala's, and the new puppies' favorite movie, Hotel for Dogs, or our other favorite, The Dog Whisperer!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
No females in heat
Lauryn can host up to 2 pets per night
♡ All sizes of furbabies are welcome, from extra small to extra large! My pups and furniture are pet friendly - so if you don't bring a crate, we will have a sleepover on the couch for overnighters. :) *note - I am on the second floor of a house, so stairs are necessary. If your fur needs help, I have no problem carrying them up, pending size! I have one entry, with (2) doors - one on the upper level, one on the ground floor. i have one gate separating the kitchen/living room, and another which blocks off the back of the house, which can separate off the living room/hallway area. I also have an Art room, which is gated, which is where you can usually find Kiki!
