Highlights
Pet care experience
I <3 anxious dogs and cats!
I seem to be a magnet for anxious dogs and cats! Both my senior cat and adolescent dog have behavioral issues/anxiety, and while it has its challenges, I find bonding with these guys can be the most rewarding experience. Between slow, gentle movements, not rushing a bond, and having lots of treats on hand, I've learned that "difficult" personalities don't always have to be so hard.

Lauren is great with communication and is very patient with our dogs. Highly recommend!
Lauren is an awesome sitter! She’s kind, caring and communicative! My three kitties appreciated her help on feedings while we were gone. I’d definitely have her care for our fur family again. ❤️

Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
After adopting an anxious/reactive dog, my partner and I have invested countless hours into a training program that works for us. Through this experience, I've learned the power of positive reinforcement, consent for touch, and patience even when it's the most difficult to find it. I'm a huge believer in redirecting unwanted behavior rather than punishment of any kind. Love and respect is the driving force behind all of my interactions with animals!
Pets
A typical day
I'm a big believer in a blend of mental and physical stimulation. Whether it's playing fetch, going for walks, or using enrichment games, the right blend keeps pups happy and healthy!
