About: I have been around animals my entire life! I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to care for their pets! I have great experience with puppies but I’m open to learning more about the care of elder pets. I also have experience with multiple breeds, big and small, and understand that each pet requires a different approach. I have a Pomeranian-Dachshund mix named Blue and he is practically my child!! I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone new and how important it is to trust that person. If you give me the opportunity to care for your fur-baby, I promise to become that trusted friend! I am currently a student so I have a very flexible schedule. I am always available in the afternoons and on the weekends to care for your pet! If you have any questions about my availability please message me! Depending on your pet and their needs, my care for them can differ. For example, a puppy with lots of energy and little training, I would include lots of play and (if asked) some basic training. If I am caring for an older pet who prefers calm visits, I will relax with them and take the visit slow. Each pet is unique and I will care for them accordingly. The owner’s comfort always comes first so if you have special instructions, that is always a priority.
“Thomas does a great job caring for my pup. Lots of photos/videos to keep me updated. Always ensured there was food, water. My pup was always greeted with head taps and ear scratches keeping him happy. Thanks Thomas!”

About: I’ve had pets and animals all my life! Growing up on a farm I’ve seen it all! My wife and I have fostered dogs and pet sat for years!!

About: I’ve had a soft spot for animals ever since I was a kid, and that passion has led me to care for a wide variety of creatures throughout my life. From raising rabbits, birds (parakeets, peacocks, turkeys, and more), and reptiles (bearded dragons, leopard geckos, ball pythons) to working on a farm since 2020, I’ve gained hands-on experience with animals of all shapes and sizes. Whether it’s dogs, cats, livestock, or exotic pets, I take pride in understanding their unique needs and providing compassionate care. Your pets are in loving, experienced hands with me. I have a flexible schedule and work from home. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or check-ins, I can easily adjust my routine to meet your pet’s needs and ensure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away. While boarding your animal in my home your pet will be with me the entire time. I refuse to leave animals unattended for any reason as being in a new environment can be kind of scary. I have a fully fenced in yard and keep my home clean so there are no choking or chewing hazards. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.

“Lauren was so perfect for us—She watched, walked and took care of Katie, our two year old Golden Retriever, for us for a full afternoon. Lauren was communicated with us perfectly in the booking, was punctual for the meet, was immediately smitten with Katie (and importantly, Katie with Lauren). It was just so wonderful to have a responsible, loving animal lover look after our Katie. I wholeheartedly recommend her for your pet needs.”
