Information Lauren B. would like to know about your pet

Any triggers or health issues would be great for me to be aware of during meet and greets! I prefer large breed dogs, but of course, enjoy the company of all breeds!

A typical day

I usually like to stick to the pets usual walk route, unless instructed to do otherwise! If the weather gets yucky, I prefer to have indoor play time as opposed to canceling the stay, so as not to break any routines we set forth! I tend to build a relationship with the pet, where I learn how they would best like to distribute walk, play, toy and rest/ tummy rub time!

Walking, Sitting, Grooming- Oh My!

Pet care experience

@laurendeborahx on Instagram! Hello! I’m an experienced veterinary assistant and dog groomer, with a long and varied career in animal care! I love dogs, and I’ll always go the extra step to ensure that not only the human, but the dog is happy, safe, healthy, and feels totally spoiled in my care! Please be mindful that I will often have multiple clients based upon the client's overnight request. I do not currently offer 24 hour constant care, but base my schedule upon the pets needs, their level of training and anxiety, and based on any health and behavioral issues. My career has brought me into contact with dogs of all sizes and comfort levels, and I’m dedicated to taking my time with nervous, under adjusted dogs as well as more socialized animals. I also have experience in administering medications, being mindful of food allergies, being mindful of behavioral cues, identifying injury and out of the norm behaviors, etc. Most importantly, I have what some dogs may call Magic Scratching Fingers- I love giving hugs and head scratches! I am a full time pet care specialist! My daily schedule is based on client location, pet's training, and pet's temperament. For example, a high anxiety pet who must be crated when alone will get some priority over two well trained and socialized pets keeping each other company.

Lauren was great with Nicky!! What a pleasure to come home to a happy dog, and a clean house!!! Lauren took good care of my older dog, gave him his meds and lots of attention, and took good care of my house while I was away. I highly recommend her!!!!
