About Me
Hi! I’m Lauren, owner of Pet & Pasture Care Services—I’m so glad you’re here.
I’ve worked in the health and fitness industry since 2008, but caring for animals has always been at the heart of who I am. I’ve been a lifelong dog owner and truly can’t imagine life without them.
In 2021, my family and I moved to Readington, where we founded Stanton Valley Farm. Since then, we’ve had the privilege of raising and caring for a wide variety of animals, including chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, quail, horses, pigs, llamas, alpacas, and Highland cattle.
Through that experience, I came to understand just how challenging it can be to step away from your animals—even for much-needed time off. That’s why I created Pet & Pasture Care Services: to give families peace of mind, knowing their animals are in reliable, compassionate hands so they can truly relax and enjoy their time away.
From fur and feathers to fiber and scales, I’m happy to care for them all. In my free time, I enjoy working out, hiking, gardening, and spending quality time with the people (and animals) I love most.
