Information Lauren H. would like to know about your pet

I would love to meet your pet before I become their caretaker! I’m happy to come to your home, although I find it helpful for pups to come to my home before their first stay. I want you both to feel comfortable with the new environment. It affords the perfect opportunity to go over feeding and medication schedules. And it’s a great way for me to learn what your pet loves so I may provide the best care.

A typical day

My boarders have a morning potty break by 7am followed by breakfast. Outdoor playtime occurs between 10am and 2pm. Afternoon mealtime is flexible to accommodate your dog’s schedule. Evening playtime occurs after the humans eat dinner. We especially love to play fetch.

Neighbors Know Me as Mitten’s Mom

Cat care experience

My cat, Mitten, is so beloved by neighbors, they stop to visit him when we sit on the front porch together. I’m pretty sure most have forgotten my name, but everyone knows his. 💕 I have experience caring for cats of all ages, including those with special medical needs. Whether your kitty needs daily injections, oral medication, or meals and hydration through a feeding tube, I know what to do. I recommend two daily visits for cats and I have flexibility to accommodate your cat’s schedule. Litter boxes will be scooped daily. Playtime and attention are a must to keep your kitty happy. We all know your cat is the boss, so I will adopt the activities they most enjoy. And you will receive daily reports and photos of all feline shenanigans. Call the Upper Arlington Cat Lady without delay!

Lauren was impeccable!! She was able to accommodate my feline companion, on a last minute change of plans! It immediately took a lot of stress off my mind. She adored having him around, and was able to give him some space of his own. Ill definitely be contacting her again, when im in the area.
