About Lauren
Experience: 8 yrs
With a bachelor's degree in zoology and currently working part-time as an apprentice zookeeper at the Denver Zoo, I am well qualified to care for any critter you may have! I am a happy momma to one elderly cat and two rambunctious rats, so caring for these types of animals is like second nature to me. Though my petsitting services have been mostly used for cats and dogs, I am happy (and excited!) to look after more exotic species. I have been extensively trained in bird and mammal biology, behavior, handling, and medical care. Though I am less familiar with reptiles and amphibians, I am open to learning! I am comfortable cleaning cages, preparing meals, administering medication, and providing overnight care. I am active and enjoy being outdoors and I would love to bring your furry friends along with me for walks, jogs, and hikes.

Lauren has been taking care of my pets and house sitting for me for several years. She always completes what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, and is thorough in her work. In fact, she often goes beyond what is expected. Lauren is also prudent enough to ask questions when she is unsure of the task, ensuring that the work is satisfactory. I recommend here without hesitation.
