About: Animals have captivated my heart; they are magnificent creatures that trust and love us no matter what. I treat our pets like children. We are a home based business that allows me to socialize them on a daily basis. I have worked at several animal care facilities over the years and learned a lot from them, so I am well-educated about animals. I started this business by prioritizing proper sanitation/care and safety procedures. My entire career has been animal-based; starting at 13, I began volunteering at shelters and stables. My first job was as a bather at a grooming salon; the lady taught me how to groom. My third & fourth job was at a vet hospital; I have probably done it. If you put that all together, I have decades of experience with animals. I adore animals and love what I do. I do not work a second job, taking care of animals is my main priority. Because I don't work a second job I am able to give my full attention to every pet on daily basis. I have an outdoor area for the Pets to use the restroom several times a day. We have a large 3500 square-foot building that can house 80 small dogs a day. I take pictures and videos daily and upload them to our Facebook page for owners to see how their babies are doing. I have worked at several veterinarian offices that have had me in kennel cleanup and so I do know the proper handling disinfecting and safety procedures that need to be performed daily.

About: Hi. I'm a born caregiver and that includes pets. Until their passing recently, I was my housemates dog walker, caregiver, sitter and dog uncle since 2010. While they were her dogs she routinely joked she was jealous they were far more affectionate with me. :) They were fed regularly, walked, played with, I put proper meds in their food, and often they fall asleep next to me. I also was my friends first choice for dog sitting and even pet sit for a CEO and SVP. In this job, you're not doing this to get rich, you do this because you CARE for animals. Because I cannot have pets where I live at, this allows me to be around pets to enjoy their company as pets have a way of making me smile and enjoy life even a bit more. I will treat your pet as my own and send you lots of pics and updates so you know your furry family member is cared for like you would. I currently work as a video/film editor as well as animation and music production so doing this PT allows me to continue that dream while getting exercise and being around pets as I cannot really have them at my place. I listen to your directions and will treat your pet with the same care and love I would want with a pet if I had one. While others say one thing and do another, you really can trust that I'm honest, loving, caring. I can also help medicate if I'm placing meds inside their foods.
“Lauren was so great with our Boxer, Rosie for fay care! She sent multiple pictures throughout the day and let her bask in the sun, Rosie’s fave thing to do. She treated her like her own. We will definitely be back!”
“Very kind and genuine, sent updates while she had the pups, and responded when we reached out. Would recommend her services to anyone, she's very knowledgeable made the transition for the animals super easy.”

In your home, I’ll make sure your pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive walks/playtime, medications if needed, and lots of love and supervision.

Pet care is already part of my daily routine. With dogs of my own, I’m outside and active multiple times a day, so adding your pup into the mix is natural. I work flexible hours and spend most of my time at home, which means I can give plenty of attention, exercise, and check-ins without rushing Caring for pets in my home is simple. If i go outside , we all go outside. If I come inside we all come inside. We all eat breakfast snacks and dinner at the same time. This isn’t something that’s inconvenient or difficult to us. This is our life on the farm.
About: Message me so can discuss private pay, which is much cheaper than you booking me through rover. Majority of my clients found me on rover, but use me often and pay much less strait to me. I’ve taken care of pets, dogs mostly, since I was little. I didn’t have normal chores growing up, I had the job of taking care of the household pets. This gave me responsibility and respect for all living beings. Dogs happen to have a warm spot in my heart. I work full time, during a 4 day work period. I have 7 household dogs and 2 outdoor Kit cats. These pets are my world and make every day better as I come home with an exhausted mindset. I have a large yard that allows my pets to run back and forth. They come in at night and love to cuddle on mommas bed.

“Vimonluck was such a breathe of fresh air and gave me so much peace of mind when watching Hershey! She provided updates, pictures, and videos. Hershey was living her best life playing my hide and seek with Vimonluck’s dog Miso! I’d definitely recommend and rebook with Vimonluck on future occasions. Thank you so much!”
