Pet care experience
**Currently on Maternity leave and unable to accept new clients.** I'm a higher education professional and part time pet caretaker. I have one dog of my own, currently, but have room in my heart for yours too! I grew up with all types of animals and worked in a pet store as a young adult. I have experience with dogs, cats, geckos, hamsters, birds, and fish! I have no breed restrictions, size restrictions, or species restrictions for who I will care for. I am available in the early mornings, on my lunch breaks (with flexibility), and each evening. I am free almost all weekends as well. I have worked in amateur dog training and can try to help you teach basic commands or continue your training. I also have tips and tricks for potty training if you've got a new furry family member. My partner, Josh, will accompany me on walks occasionally, or if I'm not available for a gig, can fill in for me (with owner's permission). For bookings outside my normal service radius, I do charge an additional travel fee per mile, according to the IRS standard mileage rate (54.5 cents per mile) each way. For example, if you are 5 miles outside of my standard radius, that would be an additional charge of: 5 miles x $.545 x 2 (drives)= $5.45 per trip.
Reviews
Lauren is so good with my dogs. They get so excited when I tell them she’s coming today. She is very good about letting me know if she sees anything out of the ordinary with my dogs and keeping me posted in general. She sends me tons of pictures with every check in!
Lauren is wonderful! My pup loves her and feel very fortunate to have found her!
Lauren is just so gentle and loving with my dogs. They go crazy wet they hear “Lauren will be here today”. She is very reliable and lets me know when there are conflicts with her schedule so we can work it out.
I can’t say enough about Lauren. She is so good with my dogs and the love seeing her. She always shows up when she says she will and it makes it so much easier on us.

Information Lauren W. would like to know about your pet
I don't have any breed preferences, but I do like to have an idea of the dog's history. Have they ever attacked/bit a person or other dog before? Are they up to date on vaccinations? Do they have any unusual behaviors I should know about?
A typical day
I'm a big dog lover so, whatever you and your pup decide for their visit will be our mission! Whether it's a walk through New Hartford, or a jaunt at the dog park, an adventure through the hiking trails, or just playing fetch in the backyard.
