House ‘n Animal Nanny began with helping out family and friends with their pets.  Soon we realized the tremendous need here in Bay Area for our services. Our love for animals and varied experience with our own pets prepared us for this perfect fit. We took it a step further and became proud members of Pet Sitters International (PSI), an organization that supports professional pet sitters throughout the world with educational tools to achieve excellence in pet sitting. In addition, our company is licensed and all employees are bonded and insured.

Lauren Morehouse - Owner of House ‘n Animal Nanny.

As far back as I can remember, I have always loved and felt a true affinity for animals. There was never a doubt in my mind that they would be a major part of my life. I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, birds, rabbits, hamsters, lizards, turtles and lots of fish. I can’t imagine a home without pets, your most loyal friends. I feel like I could never have too many pets. I also work as a nanny for wonderful twin boys and love both of my jobs. That is why this job is so perfect for me . . . Your pets are my extended family!

Jerry Garcia - Owner of House ‘n Animal Nanny.

I have also been a huge animal lover since a very young age. Growing up on a ranch gave me a wonderful opportunity to deal with many different types of animals. I have had experience with dogs, cats, birds, fish, snakes, rabbits, pigs, chickens, cows and goats. Both of us have knowledge in working with animals who have special needs and also, blind, deaf, and elderly pets. I do most of the daily dog walks and can’t wait to meet your four legged friend!
