About Lauren
I am a reliable and trustworthy animal lover who works entirely from home, 8-5 every day as a software engineer / data scientist. For the last few months or more, I have been looking after my sister's cats full time at my house and have absolutely loved it. I thought I would try out pet sitting when they return home.

Over the last couple of years I have looked after repeatedly:
- My sister's two gorgeous cats both at my house while hers' was being painted and at her house when she is away. I am allergic but nothing that an antihistamine cannot take care of.

-My sister's large sized dog only at her house. I love being able to take her dog for walks, to the dog park and playing tug of war but because I do not have a backyard, she has always been at her house.

- Friends dogs & cats. Again I have both stayed at their house or simply popped in to check in on them and make sure that their pets are ok, fed and take them for walks/playtime. Dog breeds have included dachshunds, labradoodles and labradors.

While I love having pets inside my house, I am also comfortable adapting to the owner's requirements and care instructions. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with a decent sized balcony close to both parks and dog parks but am very happy to travel to your house to care for your pets.

Pet Sitting - Mar 26, 2024
This was our first time organising a pet sitter for our Dachshund Louie and Lauren made the whole process seamless. Communication was always great and we were updated with photos and messages daily!
