About Lauren A.

Dog skills
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.
Information Lauren A. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
A typical day with me is all about keeping your pet happy, comfortable, and engaged. For dogs, that means walks through their favorite NYC routes, playtime in nearby parks, and plenty of belly rubs and positive attention. For cats, I make sure they get interactive play or calm companionship depending on their personality. I love sticking to each pet’s usual routine so they feel secure and cared for, and I always send updates and photos so you can see how much fun they’re having!

Shelter Volunteer & Dog Walker 🐾
Pet care experience
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.

Lauren was great! She was really communicative and easy to coordinate with. Sent updates, took great care of our pup, and left everything in great shape. Will definitely book again!

Lauren was terrific and successful! Zina loved her, and so did I.
