About: Hi there! My name is Lauryn, and I’m a dedicated pet care professional with over four years of experience in both professional and volunteer animal care. I’ve had the joy of working with dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and energy levels—from playful puppies to senior pets requiring extra TLC. I pride myself on being a loving, responsible, and fun caregiver, always ensuring your furry family members feel safe, happy, and well cared for. With professional training in basic animal medical care, including medication administration and pet CPR certification, you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in capable hands. Whether your pet needs a leisurely stroll, an energetic adventure, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m here to provide top-quality care tailored to their needs. Let’s make sure your pet gets the best care possible! I’d love to meet you and your furry friend—reach out anytime! I am available from Sunday- Wednesday 9am- 2pm every other week; and Sunday-Wednesday 9am-8pm. I work at an animal emergency hospital so I will be out of the city outside of these times. Depending on if I am able to take the pet with me to work at the emergency hospital which they allow I can provide the proper care when it comes to at home sitting and walkings. I am very skilled at walking hyperactive dogs. I do not under any circumstances allow dogs to be off leash, Only if it is in a fenced reserved area. This is for many reasons mainly the dogs safety and others. On hot days I collapsible water bowls, and bags to pick up after them. I do not allow interactions with other unknown animals due to contracted diseases, illnesses or fleas (No kennel cough on my watch!!), or unknown reactions of other dogs. When it comes to house sitting or visits, I make sure the parent provides a list of (contact information, preferred food, possible health conditions, medications needed to be administered, toys they like, commands, emergency primary veterinarian contact, placed they don’t like to be petted, etc). I like to have daily check ups or however many times the parent wants to check up on them or updates. I am able to provide Zoom calls or FaceTime calls with the animal if needed. As for daily physical activity, if there is a specific reserved area or park where there aren’t many dogs and your animal is well trained, we may go play at the park or out for a run for a short time. The safety and happiness of your furry loved one is my first priority when in my care!

13. Kelsie G.
“Off the bat she follows everything that is asked, my dog is a bit over weight so I needed a sitter who would willingly take 1-2 hour walks for my dog, she did that no problem and walked him even when he didn’t need the bathroom and just for him to get some fresh air and attention. She truly cares about my pet and my dog loves her, her profile isn’t lying when she said they wouldn’t want to leave her. She is super friendly and a friend of mine recommended me to her about a year ago and she’s my go to. She will meet all your dogs needs and expectations. She cleans their feet before they walk back into the home, wipes my dogs butt and face to stay clean being on any furniture with her. She keeps me updated at all times and will let me know if anything is wrong. She will ask me if they dog is allowed to eat anything else like a piece watermelon for them to try and makes sure everything is 100% okay before acting upon anything. I can go on but just telling you she is my go to sitter and is always available so I never have to worry about finding another sitter !”
