Details make care feel familiar
I pay attention to the order of the routine, the small changes worth mentioning, and the preferences that help a pet settle in.
Hi, I’m Lauren
I built the kind of pet care I’d want for my own animals.
I’m the owner and primary sitter behind Cuddle Crew Pet Care. I originally started pet sitting because I wanted flexible work that could fit around school. I quickly realized how much I genuinely enjoyed learning each pet’s personality, little quirks, and familiar routine.
Why it startedFlexible work around school became a business I care deeply about.
How I workI’m organized, observant, and happiest when I have my ducks in a row.
Who provides careI ordinarily care for clients’ pets myself.

How it became a business
I wanted to do this professionally.
Helping people has always mattered to me. Pet sitting gives me a practical way to do that while caring for animals in the place where they’re most comfortable: home.
What started with a few clients soon felt like more than a flexible job. I liked the responsibility, the relationships, and the details that make each household different. I wanted to build Cuddle Crew Pet Care thoughtfully and give clients the dependable, personal communication I’d want when someone else was caring for my pets.

The habits I bring with me.
I’m a pre-med student currently completing coursework at Sierra College. My long-term plan is to transfer, continue studying biology or neurobiology, and eventually attend medical school.
I’ve also worked in healthcare, patient access, and other customer-facing roles. That background reinforced habits I use in pet care every day: following instructions carefully, documenting what I notice, staying organized, and communicating clearly.
Important boundary: Cuddle Crew Pet Care provides pet care, not veterinary or medical care. Human healthcare education or experience does not qualify me to practice veterinary medicine.
A life with animals
Dogs, rabbits, fish, and the cats who run my home now.
I’ve lived with and cared for seven dogs over my life, including puppies, along with three rabbits (one was a Flemish Giant), a hamster, and fish. Today, Ponyo and Bambi are my own cats.
Living with cats is a daily reminder that attention doesn’t look the same for every animal. One cat may want company right away, while another feels safest watching from a hiding spot. Feeding, litter habits, interaction, and what “normal” looks like all matter.
Personal experience is part of my story, not a blanket claim of professional competency for every species or care need. I still review each household individually.

You don’t have to know every question before we meet. I’ll help cover routine, safety, access, emergency information, and anything unique to your pets before care is confirmed.
I’m curious outside work, too
When I’m not studying or caring for pets, I’m usually playing guitar, listening to rock, punk, or metal, playing a video game, trying new food, traveling, or learning about something new.
What clients can expect
Clear questions, careful notes, and an honest answer about fit.
I like to understand the full picture before I confirm care. You can explore publicly, then use Precise Petcare for private household details, approved care instructions, and confirmed bookings.
Cuddle Crew Pet Care maintains contingency procedures for unexpected emergencies. I’ll make reasonable efforts to protect your pet’s care and communicate promptly if a confirmed service is at risk, but backup care is never guaranteed.
