This is the second time Lauren has looked after Murphy and our home. As usual Lauren left my house spotless-without a trace of her being here- except that

Lauren gave me 100% peace of mind about staying and looking after Murphy. I tried to warn her she wouldn’t be winning him over but I reckon she actually came

We really got lucky when we accepted Lauren after a relatively short video call. We met her after that (and before the sit started) when she made an effort

Lauren was, once again, so wonderful caring for our home and our big boy Romeo. I honestly felt such a sense of relief and security knowing she would be with

Lauren is a true gem. She took care of our home and our fur baby spectacularly. We are so happy to have met her!

Lauren and I have travelled together and lived together in short bursts. At all times, I have found her to be understanding, accommodating and respectful. I have very particular preferences and Lauren has been kind to me. As a room/housemate, Lauren has been tidy, organised and attentive to detail (we often have schedules). She is also gentle and caring, and loves animals. When she met my cat for the first time, she was polite and respectful to her and they ended up getting along. I'd definitely recommend her for pet and housesitting.

Why I want to house sit

Housesitting lets me dive into my love for animals while exploring new places. Since my complex doesn’t allow pets, I’m always excited to care for other people’s animals. I've found that looking after pets gives me structure and boosts my
