Pet care experience
If you are anything like I am, your pet is a part of your family. My dog, Arria, is my fur baby, and I want the very best for her, no matter what - from food, to treats, to sitters when I have to go out of town. Leaving her is an almost impossible thing to do, because I always worry about the kind of care she will receive and if it will be up to the standards I would give her myself, because all animals deserve kindness and love, and the best that we can possible provide for them, as that is what we sign up for when we take on pets as a part of our families. I love animals - dogs are especially my passion. All of my life I wanted to be a veterinarian, but due to health reasons and medical bills, college just was not in the cards for me. So instead I worked where I could with animals; I have volunteered in shelters - with the Michigan Humane Society as a Cat Care Specialist. I worked just shy of two years for PetPeople, and went through rigorous training and know a lot about pet nutrition - what foods, supplements, toys and treats are good for them as well as what brands to avoid. I worked for a short time for Premier Pet Supply before diagnosed with another health issue that made me have to stop working for a little while. I don't currently work, and am aiming to start my own pet-sitting business. I am good with giving baths, trimming nails, brushing them, as well giving medications and massages.
Reviews
Our dogs stay with Lauren went great! Lauren sent us lots of photos of our dog Chloe. Her dog is very sweet and got along with Chloe well. It was nice that we were able to book with her last minute!
Lauren has taken care of our cat, Theo, many times. She loves animals and we always come home to a happy, well cared for cat when Lauren has been with him. In addition to being an excellent caretaker, Lauren is also very reliable. We highly recommend Lauren to care for your dog or cat!
I have known Lauren for a long time now, and I have never known anyone as passionate about animals! In her spare time she reads about nutrition and training, pain management and acupuncture, animal psychology and stuff I have never even heard of. Whenever I have issues with my dog Luna, I always come to Lauren for advice. Before I moved away, I would always call on her first to watch my animals, and she never hesitated to say yes. She treats your pets like they were her own, and they respond to her with enthusiasm and excitement. Lauren is kind, caring and compassionate. She listens to everything you tell her and ask of her, and makes no judgements even if your choices are something she disagrees with. She is trained in animal nutrition, and I ALWAYS call her up if my dog has an upset tummy, or if something is wrong, because she always figures out!!

Information Lauren B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know ahead of time if your animal is special needs in any way. If they do not like other animals, or people; if they are aggressive with food or toys or treats. Or if they like to play and snuggle so we get some special time together!
A typical day
I like to go on fun walks and see the sights and smells with your dogs, take them to the dog park if you have one near your home and play with them, and also play one on one in your (or my) yard if you choose to come to my house!
