Hello, I'm Lauren! I just relocated here from the United States and I'm so so grateful to be received by this beautiful country at this time. I run my own business as a breakthrough coach, which gives me the flexibility to travel. I've loved getting to know Aotearoa NZ better through pet sitting over the last several months.

Hello, I'm Lauren! I just relocated here from the United States and I'm so so grateful to be received by this beautiful country at this time.

I've been living with pets since 2019 as their auntie, and it's the best gig of my life. I'm confident caring for cats and dogs, with a willingness to learn some other animal care! I'm still pretty new to this site so I'm happy to provide additional references if you would like.

Thanks for considering me to care for your sweet pets!

Lauren and Dan were absolutely amazing housesitters and carers for my pup Percy! They were very responsible and diligent so I knew he was in good hands. He adored them and from the photo and video updates I could tell he was having a lot of fun. I came home to a tidy home and a very happy boy 🥰 I'd seek their services again in a heartbeat! Thank you both!!
Lauren is super nice and friendly, and seemed very at ease despite having a shoulder injury that she was trying to get over. She drove all the way up from Taranaki, despite the pain level she was in, really appreciated her help. She was calm with Alfie, even though he was a bit sad with us leaving, and within a few hours they were cuddling on the couch together. Came home to a perfect home and happy pets, thank you Lauren, would recommend.
Lauren took great care of my pup and was diligent in setting up intro calls and keeping in touch.
Great communication for several weeks leading to the housesit. Due to unfortunate circumstances Dan was unable to come but they still didn't let me down and Lauren drove 5hrs alone to keep her commitment to helping us. Dogs were well taken care of and Lauren sent photos of my happy pups. Highly recommend Dan and Lauren.
Lauren has been regularly looking after Saroo and house sitting for me, and she’s been excellent. Her communication is spot on, she keeps me updated so I’m never left wondering how things are going. ​It’s a massive relief to come home to a settled dog and a house that’s been well-respected. She is reliable, organized, and does exactly what she says she’ll do. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.
Laurren looked after Penny very well. She kept in contact with me about Penny's needs. She left the house clean & tidy. I recommdnd her.
Lauren took good care of Sid and he seemed happy and settled when I arrived home. She also took him out on little trips and picnics which I'm sure he enjoyed in addition to his daily walks. Lauren communicated with me by text and photo and it was nice to get these messages. She also let me know on a couple of occasions when she had concerns about Sid and we resolved these. The garden pots were well watered when I arrived home. Thanks Lauren
