Pet care experience
Hi There! I'm Lauren. I hope to get to know you & your dog better shortly. Happy to care for dogs of all shapes & sizes! There is no pooch too big or small. I've dogsat for Huskies, Newfies, Great Pyrenees, Bernese Mountain dogs, Border Collies, Yorkies and more. I am a foster for City Dogs Rescue & a DogVenture Volunteer for Lost Dog Cat & Rescue If your dog is high energy, I'm happy to take your dog to the S st. dog park, near my house, and ensure will he/she is socialized while you're away. If your dog is the laid back type, pampering & relaxing is what he/she will get.
Reviews
Lauren was a fantastic sitter! The drop off and pick up were so smooth. She was very nice and sent regular updates and pictures, and Harvey got plenty of exercise!
Lauren has become like part of our family. She’s kind and patient with Rivoli, always leaves detailed notes after each walk, and someone I wholeheartedly trust in my home and with my pup. No one better than her!
Lauren is the best dog sitter/walker! She took in our dog Luke at a moment's notice and we know he had a great time. She sent us pics and walked him so he was pooped when he came home. Can't recommend her enough!
Lauren is the best person you could have watch your dog!!! She kept us updated frequently with photos and videos, and took Benny on fun adventures everyday. Benny returned home exhausted and happy from all the fun he had. She’s the best!!

I live in an apartment so your dog will be in close proximity to me while I am home at all times. I do not have a crate but I am happy to accommodate crate trained dogs if supplies are brought up to the apartment

Information Lauren B. would like to know about your pet
I will send a questionnaire prior to arrival for overnight stays to get appropriate information for your dog's stay! This takes about 4-7 minutes to complete but will help me know your dog well to maintain the pup's routine. For all services, please expect that I will have at least one other pup at my house unless you specify that your dog needs to be alone when booking. For overnight bookings, please expect your dog to be home alone for a few hours during overnight boarding, unless you specify the dog does not do well alone. **Please note for overnight weekend stays, applies to Fri/Sat/Sun night stays, there is an extra $20 per night per pet charge**
A typical day
- Doggy Daycare: is my most popular service! A typical daycare day is drop off at 8-9am with pickup between 5-6 pm (pickups after 6pm will be charged late pickup fee). We usually go on a long walk midday around 12pm, ~1 mile, but can flex to your preferred schedule. Occasional days will include a trail walk, averaging ~3miles and/or dog park trips. On days when I have more than 1 pup, you can expect your dog to be socialized at my house and come home sleepy! Please note, that I do work full-time at home. Therefore, please take this into consideration if you are booking for a puppy who needs 100% supervision throughout the whole day -Dog walking: a 30 minute walk around the area with your pup. I will typically arrive a few minutes early to ensure there are no issues with accessing your home & to maximize walk time however, if there are accessibility issues this will cut into the walk time. Depending on your dog's speed, I aim for 1 mile+ on these walks, unless otherwise requested. -Overnight Boarding: a staycation for your pup! Each day includes 1 longer walk (1+ miles) and multiple (2-3) shorter walks. Additional activities depend on whether your dog is staying midweek or on the weekend but can include trail walks & rooftop hangouts. Dogs are allowed on the furniture but it is preferred they sleep in a crate, not on the bed. **Weekend boarding (applies to Fri/Sat/Sun night stays) have an extra $20 per night per pet charge**
