Lauren is awesome with dogs. My husband and I have a Yorkie and a black lab mix, and both of them LOVE Lauren. Because we invest so much in our dogs, we're VERY picky about who we leave them with when we can't take them with us. Lauren is definitely our go-to when we need someone to watch our pups. We know she'll provide tender loving care but, at the same time, not let them get away with bad manners that my husband and I would disapprove of. We know we don't risk any reversal of the hours and hours of training we've spent with our dogs when Lauren has them. She just picks up wherever we leave off and provides consistency and stability for our dogs. In fact, when we came back from our last trip, we were pleasantly surprised to find that Lauren had taught our lab a whole new trick! We can't recommend Lauren highly enough!
