Hello! I'm Lauren, I'm 40, and have been pet sitting here in Melbourne full time for 3 years now and absolutely love it! Back home in NZ I was a radio host and trivia host, now here in Melbourne I still host the odd trivia night, as well as hosting the odd walking tour in the CBD (chocolate walking tour - could be worse jobs!)

I’ve been an absolute animal lover all my life. It started with caring for my cat Fluffy who lived until the age of 22. The ginger cat featured in my photos is Oscar, who turned up at my house 8 years ago, injured and homeless, and just never left! He’s now the happiest, dribbliest little guy and living with my parents in NZ. I've also looked after so many beautiful dogs - they're great company and such a good way to stay active too. I have experience with rescues, I've administered injections and have significant experience with oral medications as well. I'm always happy to have a chat or meet and greet to make sure we are a good fit for eachother too.

I'm so happy I've discovered such a great pet sitting community here in Melbourne - I've even been booked to pet sit in parts of the USA (I used to live in San Francisco and worked at Alcatraz!) I treat every pet as if they are my own, and have even made good friends with many owners! I'm extremely reliable, clean, a non smoker, and I'm single. I have so many lovely references and reviews to pass on to you, and I look forward to meeting you and your gorgeous pets in the near future!
