Puppy owner & dog lover
Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs for 15 years and have always had a passion and patience for dogs of every age/breed. Specifically, I have owned 2 Aussies that I raised from 8 weeks until they were 5 years until last year when my partner and I amicably split and he kept them because we wanted to keep them together. I now have an Aussie cattle dog of my own- a sweet pup girl named clover. I am well versed in potty training, crate training, leash training, clicker training, etc…after raising 3 puppies I am a pro! I treat dogs like my own and allow them on the furniture, in bed, etc. We have a fully fenced backyard that has locks and high fences. I currently work part time while my partner works full time from home. He is home with Clover/ the dogs if I am not. We rarely go out aside from getting basic groceries and we only take the dogs on walks and never to dog parks- they are not safe in my opinion.
Reviews
Moose had a great stay! He was happy and well looked after and Lauren was kind enough to accommodate our traffic delay. Thank you!!
We were so happy we found Lauren to look after our dog! He looked like he had a great time playing with Lauren and Clover and we got lots of updates that made us feel at ease. Lauren was helpful, responsive and communicative and w have already booked our dog’s next stay with her. Thank you Lauren!
Lauren was terrific!! Nala was with her for 6 days and Lauren was very communicative and sent many pictures and videos to keep us updated on how Nala was doing. We couldn’t have been happier!! Thanks Lauren!!
Lauren took excellent care of Cooper! She was flexible when my plans changed at the last minute and was super easy to communicate with both before and during Cooper’s stay. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future!

I will always be in watch of your dog or ensure they are leashed properly/ safely if you don’t have a backyard (while we walk). I’d love to just keep up the same routine that you have and add some more walking! We have high gates and a large fenced backyard with locks and east view from the house. I do not take dogs to parks, I will not feed them anything I have not been given permission to, and I do not allow your dog to interact with other dogs other than my own.

Information Lauren S. would like to know about your pet
I would just like to know if your pet has any medications they are taking, if they are sick, or if they have any special needs I should know of to give them the best care!
A typical day
I love to engage with dogs so that they are tired by the end of the day- both mentally and physically. I’m happy to do training if that is something you are keeping up with and then of course walking or fetch/ toys (if they like it!)

Availability
I work part time on week days (2-3 days a week) at a hospital while my partner works full time from home at our home office. One of us are always home. I usually get up around 5-7 AM and walk clover before I go to work or if I am not working I wake up around 8 and walk her for about an hour. My boyfriend watches Clover while he works from home and his office window has a clear view of our backyard. We have high fences and locked gates along with a large grassy backyard that the dogs can freely and safely play in! Clover is usually fed around 8/9 AM after her walk and then she hangs out for the rest of the day until her night walk/ 3 pm play.
