Hello, I'm Lauren, and I've been a passionate pet owner for 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, Ive 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 veterinary nurse student with hands on experience working at a vet practice. I already have a Certificate II in Animal Studies and a Certificate III in Companion Animal Services. So, you can trust that I’ve been trained to give your pets the best care.

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 for the RSPCA in SA from 2017-2023, 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'm proud to say that the pets in my care have always been at ease in my company.

Your furry companions will be in safe hands, and I guarantee they will feel at home in my care. Beyond my passion for animals, I also have a Cert II in Horticulture, so if you have plants in need of attention, I'm more than happy to take care of them while you're away.

As a pet sitter, I promise to treat your beloved 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 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.
