Safety, trust & environment

I send pictures everyday and if there is anything I would want to know as a pet owner, you will know! I communicate with my clients daily to keep them in the loop. I am a veterinary student wanting to specialize in small animal and equine medicine but most of my veterinary experience (about nine years) is in small animal medicine. I inadvertently do physical exams and note any subtle attitude changes in my own pets but especially so in the pets I care for.

Information Mauren L. would like to know about your pet

I like to know breeds, ages, special needs - whether it is medical, emotional, or other. I also have to know physical limitations!! How long of walks can/will they go on? Joint pain? Heart murmurs? Past injuries? Vision or hearing issues?

A typical day

After a morning potty break and play date, we do breakfast. I like to save some kibble from breakfast and roll it in a hand towel for extra enrichment. I do like to do at least a short morning walk before I leave for the day. Evenings are when things get rowdy. After some pictures for their paw-rents and dinner, it’s wrestling time. I AM known amongst my friends for getting on all fours and wrestling with their pups!! I do like to do a long walk before or after dinner and another short one before bed! ❤️

Veterinary Student with Experience!

Pet care experience

I am a fourth year veterinary student and I have owned and been around animals since I was just six months old! I officially started caring for my own animals around the age of 10 and began pet sitting in high school. I have cared for animals with all kinds of needs and of all ages from the tough puppy stages to the slow senior stages.

Lauren is so great with animals (especially my cats) and takes great care of my house. Most importantly she is a wonderful communicator and always keeps me apprized of when she arrives at my house and how my kitties are doing.

Mauren was so nice, communicative, and knowledgeable, took great care of our dogs, and sent a ton of pictures. Could not have asked for a better sitter!!

She went above and beyond with the feeding details and even scratcher positive reinforcement. She took great pictures and all 4 of my kitties liked her, which is not usually how 2 react to strangers! Klaus: "she gave me those crunchy greenies every day! Don't tell mom." Smudge: "She has the scent of a good heart. I won't bite this one." Vi-vi: "She let me eat all the food the others didn't want. She was so interesting to watch and follow around. Vanya: " I came out of hiding, because the others approved of her. I even got pets for my bravery!"
