Pet care experience
I've always had dogs and cats, and for a short time, pet rats (they're actually really lovely!) I've had my own dog, Quinn, since 2015, and my cat, Franklin, since 2021. I come from a long line of animal lovers. My great grandparents had a 'farm' when they retired and this was truly a haven for unwanted animals. Many animals they cared for were abandoned hunting dogs. When visiting as a kid, the lovely mutts became my best pals, and some of my fondest memories are piling in the back of a pickup truck with the dogs, exploring the woods and creek beds, and watching thunderstorms with them. My own animals are considered spoiled. You may see me and Quinn cruising around RVA- he has his own bike trailer!
Reviews
Lauren was AMAZING with my 10 year old Westie. She kept me up to date with photos, took the dogs on walks and trails, and excelled in communication from the first meet-and-greet. Will definitely book with Lauren again.
Lauren was amazing! I think she took better care of Tux than we do. We are so lucky to have found her and cannot recommend her enough.
I've known Lauren for 19 years and she has always been a HUGE animal lover! She takes amazing care of her sweet rescue dog and cat, and there is no one I would trust more to care for my own precious pup! She is also highly responsible, kind, and organized, so your fur babies will be in excellent hands with her!
Lauren is one of the most creature loving humans on earth. She has 2 rescues of her own and has helped many a lost pet reunite with their human.

I have a fenced backyard and a dog and a cat. The cat is the newest addition and took to the dog after a few months. The cat has since been around other dogs, and while skittish, is comfortable around other dogs.
Home
Information Lauren B. would like to know about your pet
I need to know the overall temperament, energy level, and tendency to bark of your dog. Since I work from home, I need to have a relatively quiet space in the event of virtual meetings. Can you dog jump fences? My fences are lower chain link fences. While your dog will be accompanied while outside, I'd like to know tendency to jump fences.
A typical day
I typically take an early morning walk around the neighborhood or at Pony Pastures with my dog. Before the lunch hour, dogs will have a minimum of yard time outing. During the lunch hour, we typically take a short walk. Dogs will have access to the backyard whenever they like in the afternoon but will have at least one other dedicated backyard in the afternoon.
