About us...

C.A.L.I. Pet Care was established in 2006. While the letters C-A-L-I are abbreviated to stand for "Care And Love In your home," the company was named "Cali" in memory of the company owner's black Labrador Retriever of the same name, who died unexpectedly in 2002. Since Cali's death, Lauren has dedicated her life to the care and rescue of animals. With this mission at heart, C.A.L.I. Pet Care came into being.

Lauren shares her life with Anna, a dog she brought back to the U.S. from Nepal; Gracie, a rescued South African Boerboel; and rescued cats, Louie, a Himalayan, and Sadie, a tabby.  She was raised training Labrador Retrievers and has spent time volunteering at animal shelters around Pittsburgh. She gained extensive knowledge about the care of small animals, reptiles and fish while working for a pet store. Combining her love and passion for all creatures with her skills as a photojournalist, Lauren also worked independently as a professional pet portrait photographer in the PetCos and PetSmarts in Pittsburgh and surrounding areas.

C.A.L.I. Pet Care is committed to providing the highest level of care for your pets while you are away. We understand that your home and animals are extremely valuable to you. While providing our services, we will do everything in our power to ensure that the safety and security of your pets and home are never compromised. References are happily provided upon request. We are insured through PSA, a pet sitter-specific insurance company, so that you can be confident that your home and pets are in the best hands (next to your own, of course!).
