Lauren D.
I’m Lauren, a lifelong cat lover with over 20 years of personal experience and 3+ years of paid cat-sitting. I provide dependable, gentle care so pet parents can feel at ease while away. From feeding and litter care to companionship and playtime, I treat every cat as if they were my own. I offer both short check-ins (usually 30 minutes) and longer stays or overnights. For overnights and extended bookings, I use a flat nightly rate similar to what I charge on Rover — not an hourly rate for every hour I’m present. This makes longer stays more cost-effective while still giving your pets reliable care and companionship. Service Area Primarily serving St. James and nearby areas. I may be available for other locations within Winnipeg, with an additional fee for longer distances. Care Notes I currently do not provide medication services at this time. What Families Say Known for being reliable, attentive, and calm, I make sure pets and homes are cared for with respect. Note on Holiday Bookings Holiday and peak times tend to fill quickly — please reach out early to secure your spot.
I’ve been a lifelong cat owner (since age 8) with over 24 years of personal experience caring for cats. Paid experience includes: Several years of cat-sitting for neighbors’ cats Cat-sitting for private clients and through other online pet care platforms Daily care such as feeding, litter cleaning, play, and companionship I’m especially comfortable with senior cats and following detailed care routines.
I don’t have formal certifications yet, but I’ve completed Rover’s pet care and safety onboarding, and I’m planning to add pet first aid/CPR soon. I also bring over 24 years of experience as a cat owner and several years of paid sitting experience.
