Hello fellow pet lovers, I am Lauren and a 34 year old animal lover.
Note: I do have a full time Mon-Fri job so I can only pet sit or pet host animals that are used to their owners being away from home for up to 10hrs (approx 630am to 430pm).
I am available for Pet Hosting to look after your pets at my house, for Pet Sitting to look after your pets at your house or House Visits in the early AM or late afternoon/nightly PM to check up on, feed and play with your pets.
Dog Walking (if required) is included with Pet Hosting or Pet Sitting. I can offer Dog Walking when booked with a House Visit, at a 50% discounted rate but are no longer offering Dog Walking as a individual service.
I am the type of person who wants to pat all the dogs. I love spending time with animals and treat all pets with the same level of love that I give my own pets.
I have a 13 year old long haired domestic cat named Sir Socks who I adopted from the Cat Haven in 2014. He’s independent and likes doing his own thing but then other times he’s super affectionate and wants to be on my lap. He’s okay with dogs but mostly keeps his distance but has a watchful eye over them. I can only Pet Host dogs that are either cat friendly, cat curious in a playful way or scared of cats so they just completely avoid Sir Socks.
I have a 7 year old German Shepherd named Filip who I share ownership with my brother (majority of the time at my brothers). When at my brothers house, Filip lives with a Pug named Molly, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Louie, a cat named Martha, some ducks and chickens which they all co-exist together. He is super social, affectionate and has the most beautiful nature with animals big and small. I don’t usually have Filip when I’m pet hosting other dogs but if your dog enjoys the company of other dogs then I can have him at my house.
I have a reliable car (Hyundai ix35) which suits all dogs. I have a secured backyard with grass and an undercover area. I’m happy to have dogs inside as I feel that animals are a part of the family.
I would love to spend some time with your pets as I will provide them with a safe and loving environment. I always complete a free meet and greet prior to booking approval of first time clients for all services.
