Loving professional dog trainer!

Pet care experience

I am a professional dog trainer with 10 years of rescue experience and 5 years of private training experience. I have experience doing everything from delivering puppies to trapping feral dogs. I have experience with animals of all species, breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have proficient veterinary care knowledge and no special need is too much although my specialty is working with reactive and aggressive dogs. As the primary caretaker of three large dogs, one who was reactive and another with special needs, I learned firsthand how difficult it can be to find dependable and experienced care for your pet, especially with medical or behavioral needs. Since my dog Winnie lost her two brothers, our house has felt quiet. Any animal that comes into our care will be welcomed into our family while their own is away. As a very experienced handler, I would love to offer support to other owners like me and promise to care for your pet as I would my own. I also am an amateur photographer so expect some great update photos of your pup!

Lauren took great care of Charlie! She helped her get settled in because she was anxious and spent a lot of time with her and provided regular updates. Lauren was also flexible about my changing plans. I will definitely be leaving Charlie with Lauren again!

Lauren is awesome. I think Odie was a happy camper. Would use again!

Lauren was great - super attentive, communicative, and sent lots of pictures. She has a dog who loves to play (as does ours) so our pup came back very happy. Would recommend!

Lauren was great to work with. She was a great communicator prior to the stay, was extremely flexible with pickup and drop off and took wonderful care of our dog. We will absolutely use Lauren again and would highly recommend her.

I have fostered 30+ animals ranging from large aggressive or reactive dogs to bottle fed newborn puppies and kittens. I have done all of this with my own pets in the home and have never had an incident. I am happy to meet your animal wherever they are at and deeply understand the anxiety that can occur leaving your animal with someone else while you are unavailable. With me, your pets will be assured the best care possible.

Information Lauren B. would like to know about your pet

I require an in person meeting with every animal before they come to my home. This is for mutual security and safety of both myself, my animals and the animal coming into my care.

A typical day

First things first, the animals in the house get outdoor time to stretch their legs and relieve themselves before breakfast. I am home all day but the day will look different depending on the needs of the animal. If they need to run, we will run. If they prefer to lounge, they can hang out and sunbathe as my pup tends to do. My dog, Winnie, has a solid routine and is comfortable in her own areas so keeping pets separate is no problem.
