About Lauren

Hi,

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my Profile 💖 I’m Lauren, I’m in my 30’s, I have a lot of animal care experience and like most pet owners, I LOVE ANIMALS!! I have a current Police Check, have successfully completed the RSPCA Pet Sitters Course and I have recently completed hands on practical Dog First Aid and CPR Training with Dog First Aid Australia and obtained a Certificate. I always carry an animal First Aid kit in my car for emergencies.

I provide pet care in your home and dog walking. My husband Jay and I are a team (he is also Dog First Aid and CPR certified) and although he has a full time job he has the same love for animals so sometimes accompanies me on walks etc.

I have experience with 2kg chihuahuas and 60kg Great Dane and everything In between. Very friendly to not so friendly cats. Finches to Macaws and some very pretty fish!

I can check in on your pets while you are either on holidays or just at work. Give them 30 minutes of playtime and company or if weather permitting we’ll go for a walk. Water bowls are filled up and your pets are fed if feeding is required.

Pet Sitting is what I enjoy, it is my career and I take it very seriously which is why I invest in my (animal) education and professional development. I am not committed to other obligations so you can rest assured I will be at every booked visit. It is my honour to be selected as a care giver for your furry and feathery family members.

FULL DETAILS OF SERVICES BELOW ARE:

SERVICE A - Daily Home Visits ~ Dogs, Cats, Birds etc

SERVICE B - Dog Walking

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

SERVICE A: PET CARE FOR AN IN-YOUR-HOME-VISIT INCLUDES (if applicable):

•Meet & Greet - to find out more about each other and go over your pet/s care routine, habits, normal behaviour and any medical history.

•I have my own reliable transport in case of an animal emergency.

•Daily check in and play - up to 30 minutes during peak holiday periods. During all other times visits may go overtime but this will be at my discretion. This service can include up to a 15 minute dog walk if requested and weather permitting. Dog walking temporarily unavailable between November and March.

•Water play cool off on those extra hot days.

•Security check on premises.

•Cleaning of pet area if required (t&c‘s apply).

•Cleaning of bird cages if requested, feeding, fresh water and supervised out of cage time (t&c’s apply).

•Feeding and filling up of pets water bowls and cleaning of bowls if required.

•Sticking to any routines you may have in place with your animals. During holiday periods I am unable to accept any time specific visits as I cannot guarantee specific times accurately. During peak holiday periods an AM visit can begin at 6.30am and a PM visit can be as late as 7.00pm. There is some flexibility so please discuss requirements with me at the meet and greet.

•Crating at night if requested.

•Advising of any changes in behaviour (ie. not eating, sudden diarrhea etc).

•Vet visit if requested by you however this will be at your cost. Current laws require animals to be properly restrained in a vehicle or fines apply but most importantly this is for their safety. You may have to provide a proper car restraint if transport is required. Extra visit charge may apply.

•Cleaning and refilling cat litters.

•Cat cuddles.

•Basic brushing of cats and dogs, long and short coat if requested.

•General care of animals.

•In case of an emergency plan to make sure your pets are always protected. This is where we discuss emergency contacts and what to do.

•Daily updates via the pawshake app, email, whatsapp or txt message including photos or a short video.

•Complimentary Service - Watering plants, bringing in the mail, taking out the bins, alternating the lights and curtains etc while you are away. Please let me know if you would like me to do this.

•Happy to discuss any additional requirements. Please note that I am unable to accomodate overnight house sitting requests.

•Your pets and their care are my priority and you may be wondering if something was to happen to me who will attend to your pets. My husband is my emergency backup. He has access to intake forms on request and is briefed on every booking just in case. Should something happen to me that prevents me from visiting your pets or I experience an unexpected emergency and a replacement sitter cannot be sourced, my husband Jay will notify you as soon as possible and attend to your pets needs. He is also Dog First Aid and CPR trained and loves this business as much as I do. If you have any questions about this please feel free to discuss them with me at the meet and greet. If you would like to meet him he often accompanies me to meet and greet’s but waits in the car (this is more so for my personal safety) but please let me know if you would also like for him to attend.

SERVICE B - DOG WALKING (This service is temporarily unavailable. My apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.)

Dog walking only also available. Dog walking will be done in the late PM during the summer months as I have a No-Paws-On-The-Pavement policy that applies during the day. Dog walking only includes a 25 minute walk and filling up of water bowls on return. Some walks may go overtime but this will be at my discretion. My current dog walking rate is for a 25 minute walk. Longer walks will be quoted accordingly. If your doggie requires a longer walk please let me know and I will advise of rate. This will be a custom rate and will need to be set prior to booking

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Conditions apply.

Please inquire for more information.
