I’m Lauren, and together with my 8-year-old son Jack, we’d love to help care for your furry family members. 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up with pets and have around 25 years of experience helping with animal fostering and foster care. Jack is also a massive animal lover, and because he is homeschooled, we thought this would be a beautiful little venture for us to do together getting out in our community, spending time with animals and helping other pet owners at the same time. We offer dog walking, beach adventures, home visits, feeding, playtime, cuddles and companionship while you’re at work or away. I’m also happy to care for cats and other small pets and will follow your pet’s normal feeding and care routine so things stay as familiar as possible for them. Our services include: • 30-minute neighbourhood dog walk – around your local area • 60-minute dog walk – a longer outing for dogs needing extra exercise • 1–2 hour beach adventure – exercise, exploring and playtime, weather permitting • 30-minute home visit/feed – feeding, fresh water, cuddles, playtime and a check-in • Doggy day care – one suitable dog at a time in our home • Overnight stay – one suitable dog at a time in our home For daycare and overnight stays, we care for smaller, indoor dogs. We have cats, so any dog staying with us must be genuinely cat-friendly. We live in a townhouse with small fully fenced and enclosed front and back yards. Dogs are supervised when using our outdoor areas and have plenty of opportunities for toilet breaks, either in our enclosed yard or outside on lead. I’m home the majority of the time, so pets staying with us have plenty of company and supervision. If I do need to go out, a pet may be left alone for a maximum of 2 hours. If your pet has separation anxiety or cannot be left alone, please let me know and we can discuss their individual needs before booking. I understand how important it is to know that the person caring for your animal will treat them with kindness, patience and genuine affection. They’re not “just pets” they’re part of the family, and that’s exactly how we’ll treat them. Jack will often join me for walks and visits, but I will always be the responsible adult providing and supervising all care. We’re flexible with our availability and are always happy to chat about your pet’s individual personality, routine and needs before booking.
