Lauren's Pet Sitting

Lauren's Pet Sitting A professional and friendly pet sitting service based in Staines, Surrey. I am DBS checked and have public liability insurance for pet sitting.

I have spent the past 9 years working for a leading animal welfare organisation, which is a challenging but undoubtedly rewarding job. I have cared for numerous dogs, cats, small animals and birds and hand-reared lots of kittens, puppies and wildlife over the years. Whilst continuing my work in animal welfare, I have decided to offer a professional, trustworthy, reliable, friendly and caring pet s

itting and dog walking service in Staines-upon-Thames and surrounding areas. I can provide you with a reliable pet sitting service so that whilst you're away on holiday, on a business trip, or even a hospital stay, you can rest assured that your fury friend will be lovingly cared for in the comfort and security of their own home. I offer a free consultation with you and your pet, prior to you going away, so that we can discuss any special needs and specific requirements that your pet may have, which will be recorded in an individual pet portfolio, together with veterinary details and other contact information. Pet sitting services are provided in Staines, Stanwell, Ashford, Sunbury, Walton-on-Thames, Weybridge and surrounding areas in north Surrey. I will endeavour to provide my services at short notice for those emergency situations.

Dogs feel safest when they know what to expect.

Even 5 minutes of training or a daily “job” like fetching the post can reduce anxiety.

Let dogs sniff it’s their version of reading the news.
A 15-minute sniff walk can be more mentally satisfying than a 30-minute jog.
