Pet care experience

I’ll take your dog for a jog 💃

Hi! I’m Lauren. I live right in the heart of Beckley and I am a stay at home mom. I love working for rover and meeting new clients and their pets ❤️ I also have 2 cats. When booked for daycare, the cats have their own space that I will separate them from dogs. If booked for boarding more than one night please let me know if your dog is uncomfortable with cats. For 10 years now I have been pet sitting/house sitting on here, another traveling dog sitting app and private pay. If your animal is allowed to be active I love taking them to the park on walks and to play catch, if it’s an animal besides a dog I will give it lots of love and attention! I am experienced in, pet sitting/house sitting, dog walking, and drop ins. I have experience with administrating medicine/shots and injections and following strict guidelines. I have worked with small and large dogs, old and young dogs, and dogs that needed a little extra care. I have rescued and raised kittens and strays. Rest assured, your little fur ball will be in the best of care and have all the love and belly scratches they require ❤️ Please consider me for your next part time or full time animal sitter! I do private pay as well, cash, PayPal, cash app, and Venmo.

Lauren came to the rescue to watch our dog Reekie while we did touristy things in Fayetteville. She was on time, respectful, great communication, and took good care of Reekie.

Lauren took great care of Bella while we were on a marathon rafting trip. We felt she was in great hands and she followed all our instructions for Bella's care. When we are back by the New river, we will book with her again!

I’m very respectful to pets and homes. When you hire me you will see that your loved one and home will be taken care of as if you were there. I’m a very clean and tidy person so any messes will be cleaned up and I will adhere to any special requests that you have with your pets.

Pets

A typical day

There is a park just a few minutes from me I love to take walks at and will bring your pet if it is allowed :) if at your place of residence, I will take the animals to wherever the designated walking area is. I love to go on adventures and will take dogs to parks or on hikes with me if allowed. I am an active and fit person so if your animal loves to play I encourage and enjoy it <3

****I require a kennel/cage for boarding and doggy daycare unless it’s less than 5 hours, they will only be in the kennel/cage while I am away from home picking up my daughter from school or if I have to run to the store**** (this does not apply if I am house sitting in your home or for dog walks)**** No matter what, I have an “always on a leash outside” policy. This is for the safety and well-being of everyone and pet involved :) Please provide a leash. Dogs tend to get nervous and or tend to not listen to typical commands from a stranger. No runaways ❤️ Helpful information to let me know: -Your dog's daily routines. -How and when to administer each of your pet's medications. -Your pet's daily food intake, including dry food, wet food and treats and where you keep them. -Your dog's favorite games and toys and where you keep them. -Your dog's personality -- does she get along with other animals and people? Does she have any anxieties (such as the mailman or motorcycles driving by)? -Your favorite walking spots and dog parks. Doggy Daycare and Boarding: please provide ample amount of food, leash, toy, crate (if over 5 hours) , highly recommend to bring a blanket or something with scent from home on it.
