Lesley attends school virtually, Josh works nights and weekends, and we live with two Lesley’s sisters Any and Lili who also help with walking, feeding, and giving treats and attention.

About: Former foster parent at the local humane society, experienced with senior care. I live in an adult-only, quiet, fenced backyard house in the suburbs with no current animals. Great for dogs who prefer being the only one in the house or the center of attention. Also ideal for bigger dogs who might enjoy more space. I am currently a full-time online student at the University of Florida. I am available nearly all waking hours to monitor your pet and their needs. I have a super flexible and available schedule for last-minute requests/changes. My house is dog-proof whether your pet enjoys roaming around or prefers being crated. I live with my sister who is also an animal lover and an experienced dog walker. Rest assured, your dog will be extra spoiled under our care!

About: I have worked with many different animals since I was a child. My specialties include dogs and cats. I have helped others raise many puppies and with potty training! I also work well with senior animals. I have animals of my own that I love so much , and I can’t wait to give your pets the same love ! I have a very flexible schedule everyday but Sundays. Sometimes I can make Sundays work. I just need more of a notice for those days. Every other day I’m available for all your pet needs! At home, I have three dogs and a fenced in yard. They are crate trained, and very happy! I will strive to give your animals the same 100% care. I understand the amount of love one has for their pet, so I strive to treat them like my own! I know not every animal is the same and I would love to work with any of their special needs.

“We were nervous about leaving Juna at a new place but Lauren’s bio was amazing! As soon as we dropped Juna off we had photos sent to us of Juna warming up to her pup peers at day care. Before we knew it, Juna was feeling at home and doing great. It meant a lot to us to know that our baby was in good hands and we look forward to working with Lauren again for both training and day care in the future! What a great experience!”

About: I was raised to meet the emotional needs of pets in my care, and nurture who they are. My dad trained dogs, and I learned to speak in a way they understand. Because I work from home, I am able to be very attentive. My yard is fully fenced in, and I live with four other responsible adults. A quick story from the pandemic: My parents have a Chihuahua-Pomeranian mix name Jacques. One night when it was just him and me, I noticed it looked like he was straining to eat his crunchy food. He was always picky, but that day I noticed him straining to chew like when we bite into a Gobstopper. I picked him up and drove him to PetSmart. We bought Bil~Jac, the softest, healthiest dog food available for a dog his size. “12 pounds of fresh chicken in a 15 pound bag,” it said. This is not an ad, I swear. I remember the first time he tried his new food. He looked at his bowl, looked at me, looked back at his bowl... then, jumped off the chair where he eats, ran and jumped onto my lap, excitedly licking my whole face! Jacques gained 3 pounds in the next month or so, and he was only 5 pounds before we switched food! I love seeing him healthy and happy. My goal is to treat everyone else’s pets like they are members of my family. Because it isn’t always easy to trust a stranger, I believe that it is more important than ever to be accountable and responsible for anyone under my roof. They all deserve my deepest level of care. I work from home as a full-time entrepreneur, and absolutely love animals! I set my own schedule, take good notes and photos, and am very detail oriented. I have a fully fenced in yard and a reliable car. Whether you need to drop your dog off somewhere safe, or need someone reliable to check in, I am someone you can count on.

About: I am an avid animal lover raised on a small farm with experience owning/caring for dogs, cats, horses, ferrets, bunnies, and chickens. When I came to UF for college, I missed my furry friends and turned to fostering and pet sitting. I have fostered more than 100 felines aged 1 day-10 years and 25 pups aged 4 weeks-14 years. I have experience managing health conditions such as upper respiratory infections, deafness, blindness, arthritis, diabetes, and cancer. Allow me to provide safe and loving care for your beloved baby. <3 I work part time as a caretaker for young children with flexible hours. I am available weekdays and weekends so no matter your schedule, I can be of assistance! I have a fenced in yard for dogs and a spare bedroom with cat trees, toys, and a large window for kitties. I will always prioritize safety of the animals and communication so that you can rest assured their needs are being properly met.
