Loving Paws, Happy Hearts

Since childhood, I’ve always loved caring for animals and grew up with them in my home. Over 10 years, I've received in-depth training in pet nutrition and behavior and provided pet and housesitting services for more than 25 families, both in the US and Europe. I have experience with long-term stays (3+ months), administering oral medications and injections, and taking pets to vet appointments. I also make sure to regularly send updates and photos to pet owners, ensuring they feel confident that their little ones are in good hands.

Lauren was amazing & so kind! our dogs are a little older (and a little stubborn) and she had no problems settling in to their normal routine. she provided great updates so we always felt like they were being taken care of. Lauren is definitely our new go-to for whenever we are out of town. thank you!

House Sitting • Dec 22, 2025

Lauren watched Molly for a week and she was wonderful! Molly was so relaxed when we got home and it was a blessing not to have to break her routine. Lauren walked and played with Molly every day. She is kind and thoughtful. We loved having her in our home and will definitely use her again! I recommend Lauren 100 percent.

Absolutely Amazing Dog Sitter! I can’t say enough wonderful things about our dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear they genuinely love and understand animals. They took such amazing care of my dog while I was away—sending regular updates, adorable photos, and making sure all of his routines were followed perfectly. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well loved. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such capable hands. Reliable, attentive, and truly compassionate—everything you’d want in someone caring for your pet. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and exceptional dog sitter. They’re truly a gem! Thank you Lauren!

I love to play with dogs, suiting their physical abilities, and enjoy taking them to dog parks and park trails. On a regular day, we go out 2-3 times and typically walk for 30-45 minutes.
