Pet care experience
We have a two year old mini Australian shepherd that we raised from birth who has become the most popular pup in the neighbourhood! We offer the ability to keep your pup well-socialized, with lots of walks through a variety of moderately-trafficked nature paths, lots of play and lots of outdoor time throughout the day, any season of the year. We are responsible with picking up poop and maintaining a dog friendly home to ensure safety and comfort throughout the day and night. Our schedule is flexible throughout the week and weekend, as I have just gone back to school for my masters with most classes in the late afternoon/early evening, when my husband is home to take over (#tagteam). This allows ample opportunity for check ins, walks and plenty of love, attention and human affection. Our pup is super calm, friendly and loves to run. My husband also loves to run so if your dog has a bit more endurance than I do, we still have you covered. Previously, we have provided family and friend's pets, from shih tzus to samoyeds to black labs, with care during their holiday.
Reviews
I have used Cat & Lauren a few times for drop-in visits and my dog and I are super thrilled with the services they provide :) As the parent, I thoroughly enjoy reading the detailed review of the visit and how my dog responded to them, as well love seeing all the great pictures they take while they play together.
Cat, Lauren and Einstein were wonderful hosts to our 5 month old Kerry Blue pup, who was having his first sleepover away from his adoptive parents. Our boy came home happy and exhausted after lots of play and walks. We would recommend Cat and Lauren for their care and attention to our needs (lots of photo updates!).
Cat and Lauren were so loving and attentive sitters. And their photo updates were beautiful and thoughtful. Our little guy really enjoyed his stay and was missing his new friends when he got home.
Our 8-month-old Australian Labradoodle had a great time at Cat & Lauren's place. He had lots of fun playing with Einstein and we were provided lots of pictures and updates. Would highly recommend Cat & Lauren.

Information Cat & Lauren M. would like to know about your pet
Up to date on shots. Health concerns/allergies, etc. Past history with other dogs and typical behaviour, are they potty-trained, how might they behave when left alone in a new place, levels of aggression, are they possessive with toys/their food dish. Eating habits, quirks, items or behaviours that may spook them. Socialization with other animals. How are they with kids/cars/bikes/other animals (rabbits, birds, etc), if they see them on the street. No breed preferences, but we obviously have a bias with Australian shepherds. :)
A typical day
We will go for plenty of walks on designated paths or parks/fields around the area. If traveling in my car, the dog will have their own seatbelt (if wearing a harness). Depending on comfort levels, we can visit dog parks. We can even play fetch if we know the pup is good off-leash. We can play tug and they can play tag with our vaccinated 2 year old pup. On the weekends, during the summer, we often go for hikes and enjoy the outdoors.
