Lauren is passionate about animals. ‘Over the years I have done many things to feed my passion for animals from studying animal care, caring for injured wild life, work at the zoo and volunteered in veterinary clinics and pet shelters. While doing this I noticed that, there is a great demand for dog walkers a pet carers and that not one of them are taking a total care approach, hence my holistic dog walking & pet care business.’
