Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Lauren. I'm driven, empathetic and your dog's next best friend. Dogs are incredibly sensitive to us and our needs. I became a pet sitter because I want to help dogs and their owners when they are away. I understand how hard it is to leave your dog due to the bond I have with my own dog, Tessa and want to provide you with the comfort necessary to enjoy your time away without worries or concerns. You and your dog will love me because I'm experienced. First, I've never been without a dog in my life. I helped raise and train my mother's Service Dog and trained my now retired Service Dog, Tessa. I read up constantly about canine psychology and training methods. I'm beginning my Pre-Veterinary Bachelors Degree. After graduation, I'll be going to Veterinary School, and will specialize in Behavior, which is the animal equivalent of a Psychiatrist, and Surgery. My career goal is to work with and help Police and Military Working Dogs suffering from PTSD or any other behavioral or health issue, in addition to any civilian's furry family member. If at any time an incident of any kind occurs, I'd resolve the issue and make the situation safe again, then immediately call you and be extremely open, honest, transparent, and detailed about what occurred and what I did when it happened, what the current situation is, and ask what you want me to do. If the incident was because of something I did, I'd be just as transparent as with any other situation. I'd love to do the following things if and when you need them: -Daytime and Overnight Pet Sitting -Check-ins -Walks -Basic Obedience Training-I'm currently under the guidance of a very experienced and qualified Service Dog Trainer (Ask for a reference from Karley for details), as a long-distance apprentice to help get ready for when I train my next Service Dog. I can aid in training the tasks your dog would learn in Basic Obedience Classes, as well as minor Behavior issues, as an example, leash pulling. Before I start working with your dog, I'll talk to her and make sure I have a good plan for the training written out, and any part that I become unsure of or want to make sure it's being done right, I will consult her immediately. With your permission, I'd also make videos of what I'm discussing with her about so she will be able to give better input so that I'll be able to help your dog as much as possible My classes are all online, so I'm always available!
Reviews
Lauren is a wonderful dog owner! She loves and truly cares about her own dog. And loves others dogs just as much. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting job. You want someone dedicated about your pet. She's the one you're looking for! Passionate and dedicated!
When it comes to animals, Lauren definitely is someone who will love and care for the ones in her care. She gives good advice to anyone with dogs when they ask for help.

Information Lauren S. would like to know about your pet
All the dogs I've had so far are large breeds, but I embrace any experience to learn about every aspect of dog breeds, temperaments, and personalities! All I ask is that you tell me about your dog's temperament, it's personality, behavior problems, and anything it likes and dislikes! Also, please let me know about medications, allergies, and what it enjoys doing and doesn't like doing! The more I know, the better I can care for them! No detail is too small, as even the smallest detail may become important.
A typical day
I'm happy to take your dog to the dog park, to play ball, play Frisbee, or anything else it likes to do! I'd even love to take your dog to the beach or wherever else you'd like! All my dogs have been big snugglers, so if your dog likes to snuggle, it'll love it's time with me.
