We’re a family of four, and your pets will never be left alone for long—my husband works from home and provides a calm, quiet environment with plenty of companionship, cuddles, and walks throughout the day. I handle all feeding and any medications, so you can feel confident your pet’s routine will be followed carefully. We love making animals feel safe, relaxed, and right at home while you’re away! 🐾💛

Safety, trust & environment
We have a safe, fenced-in front yard that's great for larger dogs to get some playtime and fresh air. Inside, your pet will be treated like part of the family — couches are fair game (as long as you’re cool with it!), and my whole family will be happy to shower your pet with love, snuggles, and attention.

Information Lauren B. would like to know about your pet
To give your pet the best care possible, I always like to know a few important details in advance: 🐾 Feeding & Treat Schedule – What/when do they eat? Any dietary restrictions or allergies? 🐾 Bathroom Routine – How often do they go out? Crate-trained? Pee pad? 🐾 Walk & Exercise Preferences – Do they enjoy long walks, short strolls, or backyard play? 🐾 Favorite Activities & Toys – What do they love? What should I avoid? 🐾 Personality & Behavior – Are they shy, social, high-energy, or more chill? Any fears (like thunder or skateboards)? How do they react to other dogs? 🐾 Commands or Tricks They Know – I’m happy to practice commands with them! 🐾 Medical Info – Any meds, chronic conditions, or emergency vet contacts? 🐾 House Rules – Are pets allowed on furniture? Any off-limits rooms or routines you’d like me to follow? 🐾 Socialization Needs – Are they okay seeing other dogs or people on walks? 🐾 Contact Info & Emergency Plan – Just in case!
A typical day
When we are with your pet, it’s all about making them feel happy, loved, and entertained. We’ll play catch, go for walks, and if your pup knows any tricks, I’m happy to help them practice. Expect plenty of belly rubs, petting, gentle massage, and lots of cuddle time! Whether they’re high-energy or more of a couch potato, I’ll match their vibe and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you're away.

Lifelong Dog-Lover & Pet Whisperer
Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Lauren — a lifelong animal lover with decades of hands-on pet care experience. I grew up in a home that always had dogs (usually three!), and I started dog-sitting back in college in the early 2000s. One of my favorite long-term clients had a huge white German Shepherd who growled at everyone. By evening on day one, he was upside down in my lap, getting a belly rub! I had two beloved dogs of my own for 15 years, and now that I have two young kids (and no current pets), I’m looking to share my love with your furry (or scaly!) family member. Whether it’s walks, belly rubs, or snuggle time, I’ll treat your pet like my own. Dogs, cats, snakes, bunnies — you name it, I love them all. 💛 If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing, and genuinely passionate about animals, I’d love to help care for your pet while you’re away!
Reviews

Wonderfull family. Murphy received excellent care. Top rating for the best dog sitters in Arroyo Grande. Thanks so much.

Lovely family. Took great care of Mango :) daily updates and pics. We are for sure using again

Lauren is amazing our little Lilly had the best time. She sent us photos and Lilly looked right at home. Thank you so much we will definitely be keeping requesting her for future trips in the area.

Such a great experience with Lauren and her family. They were extra caring and communicative, I would definitely book again with her.
