Pet care experience

Let me spoil your fur babies!

I have been a dog walker, dog bather, kennel tech, and worked at wildlife rehab. To say I love animals is an understatement, and I can't wait to meet and care for yours! I have been pet sitting in people's homes for nearly 20 years now, and have worked professionally with animals for many years. Dogs to Hedgehogs and snakes, tell me how to best care for your pets and I will exceed your expectations. I have watched over nursing puppies in shelters, and senior dogs in veterinary care and boarding, so I have experience with animals with anxiety and giving medications.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Because I understand that for many pets, consistency is very important, I try to stick as close to your regular walk/outside schedules as possible to make sure routines are kept just that*. Since every animal is different, I will let your pet lead the way with how much attention/ what kind of enrichment they like. I don't mean to brag, but my belly rubs are the bark of the town my neighborhood. **With the summer heat, I expect any walks taken will be very early or as the sun is setting so their paws are protected.

House Sitting • Sep 12, 2025

Rex did an amazing job watching our home and pups. Our pups don't get along so it's tough for us to find someone willing to take on that responsibility. She made sure our dogs were safe and had plenty of attention. Our house was also taken care and clean. We highly recommend Rex and will be contacting her for future trips.

Rex took care of my senior baby like he was her own. She has patience and compassion for all pets. I would highly recommend her to watch your furbabies!

I have known Lauren since she was a young girl! She has always been a lover of dogs and was raised with adopted dogs that she loved and cared for. She has gone on to foster dogs for several years and has been a champion promoter for pet adoption. My family has had the pleasure of having her come to our home and stay with our dogs and cats many times over the past several years and she has provided the love and care we give our animals each time. I highly recommend Lauren as a caregiver for your pets as well! We will continue to support her efforts!!

Lauren is so attentive and responsible. She’s worked with animals for years and it shows! Our golden retriever who needs LOTS of attention loved her and we will definitely be calling her for our next trip out of town.

Lauren is the best. She was my dog walker until she moved away for school. I always felt so comfortable and confident with Lauren taking care of my dog. She is a true animal lover, she is responsible, she sent me photos, and she was always so happy to be with my dog. I would trust Lauren with my dog again at any time. I wish we lived in the same city.
