Hello! My guess is that you have an amazing dog (or, if you're lucky, dogs) in your family and you need someone to give them a little extra care and attention while you're at work, on vacation, or taking care of business in your own busy life... and that's where I come in! My name is Lauren and I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember, starting from growing up with two Alaskan malamutes. When I realized I could hang out with these furry beauties every day, even if I didn't own one, I said a quick word of thanks to whoever invented man's best friend. The rest is history. I have four years of experience house and dog/cat sitting, from puppies to large adult dogs. (Longstanding per-New York gigs include two chocolate labs, an Alaskan malamute, a cairn terrier, and a large golden-doodle.) I love playing with dogs and am not afraid to get on the floor to wrestle or jump into tug of war. If you are training your puppy, I'm happy to learn your commands and use your preferred training method to keep things consistent for your pup. I'm ready to snuggle, get up and at 'em for a long walk, or pry those occasional foreign objects from your dogs mouth. From pill taking to mixing special foods, I'm experienced and ready to give your dog the care and love it deserves. I'm smart, energetic, and can't wait to meet you and your delightful companions!
