About Lauren

Hi I'm Lauren, 31 year old female, that works for Everybody Eats a restaurant charity in the city.

I grew up with 4 Dogs, 3 Guinee pigs, 6 Chickens, 12 Cats, 17 Rabbits and saved many many birds, haha not all at once but many at a time! Ive volunteered at animal rescue centres and pounds around the world on my travels, where I've washed, walked and looked after many pets looking for homes.

My mother and her friends are dog trainers, dog walkers and fosterers so I have also learned many things and understand dogs and their behaviours really well.

I am very comfortable with all animals and understand the patience, time and responsibilty it takes to look after pets. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to have any pets of my own right now, so i'll look after yours instead! :)

My top two favourite physical activities are Freediving and Walking, now I cant take your pet diving but I can take them on a great walk, long or short depending on their ability and I would also really love the company, after the passing of one of my dogs I miss having a friend on my walks.

As for pet/house sitting, to make you feel more comfortable with me in your house and with your pets, I am the lead tenant on my flat for the last 2 years, I have been a nanny to a little girl for 2 years and house sit their house regularly, I used to work overseas as a butler for private homes and palaces, so you can trust me to look after your home and your pets! 

I work part time and I'm pretty flexible so I'm sure we can make something work.

If you have any questions or want to know more, please flick me a message. :)

I look forward to hearing from you!

Our girl Frankie had the best time staying with Lauren. Lauren and Lauren’s flatmates are all really lovely, and Lauren was great at keeping us updated including sending photos. Frankie also got heaps of cuddles during her stay. We definitely won’t hesitate to book Lauren again in the future! 😊

Lauren is really awesome. She is really easy to deal with, very sensible, took great care of the house, and Pixie was a very happy little camper when I got back home.
