About Lauren A.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize open and transparent communication in regard to a client’s expectations and goals. I work with a client however is requested: whether a dog is allowed to freely roam, is confined to a specific area, or is crated.
Information Lauren A. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there are any reactivity or behavioral issues I should be aware of. For example, - should I avoid walking near children, men, other dogs, etc. - are there places that your pet should not be touched (I.e. paws, tail, head, etc) -clothing concerns (do sleeves or any kind of loose clothing trigger adverse behaviors) Additionally, please make me aware of any health concerns For example: -if a dog is going through heart-worm treatment what did your vet recommend for physical exercise limitations? -are there any joint issues I should be aware of in regard to terrain and duration of walk?
A typical day
I tailor daily enrichment activities based upon each dog’s needs. From long hikes, playing fetch, tug-of-war, solving puzzles, to doing sniff work there is something for pups of all stages and ages of life.

Reviews
Lauren provided excellent care for our cats - she was attentive to all their needs; played with them and made sure they were safe while we were gone. I will definitely rebook her and recommend her to care for anyone’s pets.
Lauren was fantastic!!!! She sent me pictures and kept my dogs happy! I think that I even came back to a cleaner home than when I left!! She is very knowledgeable about dogs so I felt very comfortable with them in her care! I would highly recommend using her, as I will myself again!
Lauren Archie has been a trustworthy pet sitter for me for over 10 years. She has always made sure my pets have all their needs met and makes them her first priority; she even stays the night to meet my dog’s nighttime schedule if we needed. Her love for dogs shows with how well she treats them and how much dogs love and trust her. She easily understands dog’s behavior and language and can cater to each individual properly depending on each dog’s specific needs for a comfortable experience
Lauren has cared for all three of our dogs, from 14 lbs. to 135 lbs., and has been instrumental in their training. She is genuine in her love of animals and especially dogs. Lauren is highly experienced in caring for all varieties and sizes of dogs and cats and is not afraid of the work involved in their care. She is very tuned in to what the animals need for interactive play and positive reinforcement. They all love her and there is no one in whom I would trust more with my pets. I highly recommend Lauren for your pet care.
