Hello! My name is Lauren and I am a true animal lover through and through. As a baby I grew up crawling round on bales of hay with horses, and my partner in crime was a Siamese cat who followed me everywhere. Since then I have had a variety of cats in my life, including an energetic Bengal cat, a sassy cat with epilepsy, a cuddly rag doll, rescue cats, nervous and anxious cats, and a stray Tom cat that has since moved into our house after 7 years living wild. I also have lots of experience with dogs, with my parents always looking after dogs as I was growing up and me lending a helping hand with feeding, walking and cuddling. Not only that, I have experience with other animals including chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters and horses. I am motivated to be a pet sitter due to my love of animals, my understanding of them and willingness to dedicate my spare time to give them the love and attention they need whilst their owners are away.

I am at my happiest when with animals, loving to cuddle, play and give treats. However, having grown up with animals, I am skilled at reading body language and I know when they want space or might be feeling nervous and I respect this/ offer reassurance. I am happy to provide the care you require, whether it’s feeding, playing, walking, grooming/brushing, checking in, sitting in the house to see if everything is okay or administering medication. I am great at communication and will send lots of photos and updates. I used to photograph dogs and horses at shows so my animal photography is pretty good!
