Caring for Pets Like Family
Hi, I’m Lauren, owner of Happy Tails Pet Sitting. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for pets started long before it became a business. After losing my beloved cat and later saying goodbye to a dog I loved dearly, I realized just how much joy and comfort animals bring to my life. What started as helping friends and neighbors has grown into Happy Tails Pet Sitting—a business built on trust, compassion, and treating every pet like family. I understand how important it is to find someone you feel comfortable leaving your pets with. Whether you’re away for a weekend, a vacation, or just a busy workday, my goal is to provide dependable care, plenty of love, and peace of mind while you’re away.

What Our Clients Say
Words can’t fully capture the peace of mind we feel when our pets are in such caring hands.
★★★★★
I highly recommend Lauren! She's cared for my dog several times, both in her home and in mine, and has also house-sat for me while taking wonderful care of my cats, dog, and even my plants. It means so much to have someone I trust completely with not only my pets, but my home as well. My dog absolutely loves her and gets so excited to see her, which tells me everything I need to know. I always come home to happy, well-cared-for pets, healthy plants, and the comfort of knowing everything was looked after with genuine care and attention. I'm so grateful to have found someone who treats my pets like they're her own.

I've known Lauren for over ten years, and during this time, she has taken care of more than one of our rescue dogs. She shows every dog exceptional love and care, and she always goes above and beyond to accommodate their individual needs.
Our dogs have had different anxieties and challenges related to limited socialization, and Lauren has always been incredibly patient, understanding, and attentive. I completely trust her with our dogs' wellbeing and safety.
I wholeheartedly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for someone who will provide top-notch love, attention, and care for their pets. They're truly in the best hands with her.

I highly recommend Lauren! She was super communicative and I felt comfortable with her taking Igor for the first time. He’s 10, is dog reactive and is on meds. Lauren handled pickup and drop-off which was appreciated. She sent a nice video update and Igor looked so happy! I’ll definitely use Lauren again.
