About Lauren

Hello fellow pet lovers, I am Lauren and a 32 year old animal lover.

Update: I have just recently started a full time Mon-Fri job so my pet services availability has had to decrease.

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 I can conduct early AM or late afternoon/nightly PM house visits to check up on, feed and play with your pets.

I offer dog walking when included with Pet Hosting, Pet Sitting or House Visits but unfortunately are not offering regular Dog Walking as a seperate service.

As I will be away from home approx 715am to 445pm Mon-Fri, I can only Pet Host or Pet Sit animals that are used to having their owner away from home during the day.

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 11 year old long haired domestic cat named Sir Socks. I adopted Sir Socks from the Cat Haven in 2014. He’s super 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 other animals 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 5 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.
