Lauren is amazing with animals, and I think she would be an excellent pet sitter. She has always been incredibly attentive with animals, particularly dogs. She cares about their well-being, wants them to get enough exercise, be clean, and receive love and affection. Lauren has a dog named Oliver. He has allergies to nearly everything from fabrics to chicken! He would scratch all of the time and look sickly under the care of his previous human friend (a family member). When he came to live with Lauren full-time, she nurtured him back to health. He plays with toys now - something he never did before. He is happier, he gets adequate healthy food, and he has a tremendous amount of affection for her. Lauren has volunteered at shelters, and adopted puppies from shelters. She is great! I highly recommend her as a pet sitter.
