About Lauren
Experience: 8 yrs
Hi, I'm Lauren! I'm a compassionate and experienced animal caretaker who treats every pet like family. I've spent 8+ years caring for animals across homes, daycares, vet clinics, and boarding facilities in Illinois and Texas. My Approach My care is gentle, intuitive, and tailored to each pet's unique needs. I use Fear Free techniques, read body language closely, and bring breed-specific knowledge to every visit. I'm also trained in safe dog walking and medication administration. Why I Love This Work Animals are pure hearted companions, and building bonds with them is sacred to me. I bring kindness, reliability, and joy to every home. What to Expect I am passionate about creating a fun, enriching and safe experience for each pet. Plus, I love photography, so you'll receive adorable updates along the way! A Bit About Me I'm easygoing, playful, and love the great outdoors. At home you can find me curled up with a book, cuddling my sweet kitty and pup.
Most recent review
The only TRUSTED care giver for our dog, Lola, outside of family is Lauren. Her love, compassion and dedication shows every time she is with Lola. We appreciate Lauren’s passion for taking care of Lola as we would. She’s flexible, as far as, days and times we’ve asked for her help. Also, Lauren listens to what Lola’s needs are and fulfills our expectations every time! Lola is not usually very friendly and comfortable around people but gets excited and shows Lauren love whenever she sees her!
