Pet care experience

Shelter Volunteer & Dog Walker 🐾

Note: Please let me know if your dog is leash reactive/isn’t good with other dogs before we book. I’ve volunteered at dog shelters and love walking friends’ dogs around NYC! I’m experienced with various breeds of dogs and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and exercised. Whether your pup needs long walks, playtime, or just some company while you’re at work, I’ll treat them like my own. I’m responsible, communicative, and always send updates so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in their own home, I always follow their usual routine as closely as possible — from feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection, and I keep their space clean and comfortable. I’m respectful of your home, reliable with instructions, and send regular updates with photos so you always know how your pets are doing. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I treat every pet like my own.

Lauren was great! We pet sit our pup for the night while my wife and I were out on a date night. She took him to the park to get his non stop puppy energy spent and was very communicative with photos and texts. She was flexible scheduling, which was very helpful to our last minute plans and was super comfortable with our larger pup and all our instructions. Will definitely reach out again!

Lauren is amazing! So thoughtful, patient and so good with my naughty puppy who even escaped from his collar! I adore her and completely trust her so I definitely highly recommend!

I like to know as much as possible about your pet’s routine and personality before sitting! Please share any quirks, triggers, or behaviors I should be aware of (like leash reactivity, fear of loud noises, or how they interact with other pets). I also like to know feeding times, medication needs, favorite toys, and any house rules you’d like me to follow. The more I know, the more I can keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.
