Lauren's Reviews

Harriet
Lauren was amazing, my cats loved her and she went above and beyond by cleaning the food mats, scooping litter, and sending me lots of updates and photos! Will definitely book with Lauren again!

Nikkilyn
Lauren was amazing, as she was last time I used her. She provides detailed updates about the visit and how things went, including what the cats ate and the litter box situation. She administered multiple meds to my very wiggly cat and swept up the floors from my messy eaters! I would absolutely book her again.

Stephen
Lauren was a terrific fit for us and our two girls! She waa highly communicative throughout, and incredibly thoughtful. Would/will absolutely have her back in the future. A++! 😺

Kathy
I have used Lauren several times and she is amazing!!! I know that when she is caring for Hawthorne, everything will be fine. She shows that she truly cares and my kitty absolutely adores her and he can be hard to deal with. I will request Lauren again because I know I can enjoy my trip knowing my baby is in good hands!!

Alice
Lauren was just fantastic at taking care of my old cat Isa. I could feel when I came back that Isa had an amazing experience as well!
