Pet care experience
I have a 15 year old Rottweiler she's been part of our family since I was a child I trained her myself. I currently have three kitties one who is elderly, she is 12 years old and requires daily medication in addition to a special diet. So animals with daily meds or specific diets are something I'm very accustomed to. I have one kitty who is five and he is missing his left rear leg so I am familiar with complex or special needs animals. Over the years I have sat for many friends and family I have cared for reptiles including chameleons, a red eyed crocodile skink, leopard geckos, fish tanks, kitties, large dogs both young and elderly, small dogs both young and elderly. I've been around animals all my life. Over the last 4 years at least once a year I house sit for my one of bestfriends who has three cats, two large breed dogs. (Cane Corso Australian Shepherd mix and Pitbull black lab mix), five fish tanks and a room of reptiles. I also yearly house it for my other best friend who has also has two larger breed dogs( German Shepherd and German Shepherd Great Dane mix) and four cats.
Reviews
I just wanted to leave an extra tip even though I had to cancel my second visit. Lauren has been very caring towards my dogs during a difficult point in my life.
So caring, and great with elderly/special needs dogs! It's such a relief to know that my babies are being well cared-for while I'm away.
Lauryn is excellent. We have a 3yr old German shepherd named Molly, hyperactive. And Lauryn has done a great job taking care of her. She went above and beyond for our Molly. I am so happy we found her as a sitter. Would definitely recommend and would use her again.
Lauryn is amazing! She is my go-to pet sitter whenever we go on vacation. She’s very caring and attentive to our two large, hyper dogs; sending pictures and updates the whole time. She takes them outside to play, attends to their energy levels, and provides lots of cuddles. We also have 3 cats, 5 fish tanks, 5 exotic reptiles, and a Sun Conure! I always leave specific care instructions when we leave, and she follows them perfectly! My animals are always the picture of health, and seem so happy when we come home!

I prefer to house sit where your babies are comfortable, in their home. I'm a visitor in their space, that typically makes them more comfortable. And I feel more secure that way as well knowing that your babies are somewhere safe, comfortable and familiar to them to eases them. Being in their own environment makes it a lot less stressful when Mom/ Dad are gone.
Information Lauryn W. would like to know about your pet
Preferred 24 hour emergency vet clinic in case of emergency. Any daily medications any specific food anything that they are allergic. Would need to know if they use no pull/chest harness(if so there would need one present for walks during sitting). Knowing anything (items or actions) that makes them feel more comfortable or is part of your normal routine. such as specific toys at bedtime or anytime. If you're fur baby has any triggers or anything that frightens them (ex thunderstorms, people wearing hats ect). Also were your fur baby's favorite places to sleep or hide or play just the common areas they are around the house. Any off limits areas of the house.
A typical day
Able to walk pups on a leash for as long as they need or if they have a fenced in backyard and play throw toys as long as they need to to get their Zoomies out.
