About Lauren
✨️please scroll to bottom for details of pricing✨️
Hello, I'm Lauren, and I've been a pet owner for over 18 wonderful years. I am blessed to live with three beautiful cats who are truly the biggest joys in my life. In the last two years, I've had to say goodbye to my best friend, an 18-year-old Maltese Shih Tzu as well as my much loved two rescued senior cats. Not having a dog around after 18 years has been a big adjustment, so it would be a huge joy to hang out with your pets!
I am a qualified veterinary nurse with hands on experience working at a vet practice. I also have previous animal care qualifications.
Pet experience: My experience as a pet owner has taught me to handle daily medications with ease, ensuring the well being of all pets. I am particularly familiar with the care of senior pets and have a real soft spot for the oldies 🩵 - the crustier the better! All of my pets are vaccinated, and their safety and health are my top priorities.
Outside of my studies, I've been foster carer since 2017, mostly looking after cats and kittens. It's been an amazing experience and has taught me how to create a comfortable and loving environment for animals under my care.
As a pet sitter, I've looked after cats, rabbits, birds, and dogs. I promise to treat your pets as if they were my own, providing them with all the love, care, and attention they need while you're away. Your pets' safety, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities, and you can trust me to go the extra mile to ensure they are comfortable and content during our time together.
Thank you for reading and for considering me as your pet sitter. I'm excited to meet your fur babies and create lasting memories with them!
Brunswick East based 📍 I would also like to note that I do not own a car and get around by either public transport or by bike.
