Gung-ho dog lady, works from home

Pet care experience

Hi! I have been a dog lover since birth and have spent my entire life with at least one dog in the household. I am currently the proud human of a seven-year-old Welsh corgi, and I will treat your dog like I treat my own: plenty of walks, belly rubs, and playing (and, if allowed, a few treats, too!). I live an active lifestyle and would love for your dog to accompany me on a brisk walk or run, but I am also happy to lay low and take it easy--whatever is best for you and your dog. I live the flexible life of a grad student, so it's easy for me to tailor my schedule to your dog's needs. I have ample experience caring for others' pets, including puppies and older dogs.

Lauren house sat and tended my 4 hens for a week. She had previously walked my dog this past summer. All was well upon my return home from vacation!

Lauren walked my senior dog 4 mornings before it got too hot out and put her inside the house. This really was a big help as I was away and my housemate left for work early for a long day. My dog prefers to be inside and after a mile walk she was good for 7-8 hours indoors. Lauren is prompt and returns texts in a reasonable time frame. She is experienced with dogs and comfortable in a rural environment without sidewalks and is diligent and responsible. Would request Lauren again for future dog care needs.

I highly recommend Lauren as a well-qualified pet sitter. She is very responsible and has a real knack for connecting with dogs. They seem to recognize her as a kindred spirit, and take to her immediately. I have observed her with a number of different dogs and she has never failed to charm one. My own dog is a rescue, and as such, is suspicious of anyone outside of the household. But it didn’t take Lauren long to have him willingly on his back getting a belly rub. You can trust Lauren to be as loving with your pet as she is with her own.

Lauren B. is a stellar dog lover and caregiver who truly cares for pups as much as many people care their own children. She is incredibly intelligent and responsible (see soon-to-come doctoral degree), communicative, trustworthy, and caring, and she dotes on her beautiful Corgi, Stella, like you've never seen! Your dog would be truly lucky to be cared for by Bunch - you can trust that he or she will be safe, well cared for in a dependable manner, and maybe even a bit spoiled when you reunite :)
