I have a job but I will give them all the attention before I leave and when I come home. The main living areas have cameras so I can watch them when I am not home. My husband and I work opposite shifts, so someone is always home.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced yard and adequate space for your pet to feel safe and comfortable. I will do anything your pet needs to feel safe and I will welcome them into my family for the duration of their stay with me. We do allow pets in bed so your pet will be on vacation as well Please make sure your pet is on flea and tick prevention and up to date on vaccines. If your pet comes to my house and has fleas, I will charge $150 for the inconvenience. I do not do late pickups. Pickups must happen prior to 9pm or pickup will be arranged the following day.

Information Lauren C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs. I prefer crate trained animals but we can always work something out! At the time of drop off please bring their food/water bowls, a bed, food, and any medication. My dog is on flea and tick medication, Simparica. Please make sure your pet is on meds. If your pet comes to my house and has fleas, I will charge $150 for the inconvenience.

A typical day

We spend lots of time in our backyard so your pup will be able to play outside. If the weather is nice, we will walk around my neighborhood.

LOVING NURSE DOG MOM!

Pet care experience

I have had dogs growing up my entire life and now I am fortunate now to have a dog of my own. I have experience with administering oral medication to dogs if need be. Each dog that I take care with I will treat like one of my own and do everything to make sure they are comfortable.

Lauren was absolutely great! She gave regular updates while I was away and sent pictures in the mornings and afternoons. I highly recommend her. She made my Rottweiler feel right at home and comfortable right off the bat. Great Service!

Lauren was awesome! Very easy to communicate with and made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with her for a multi-day trip away. Will rebook with her again!

Lauren treated Mollie and Shiloh as if they were her own. I was very happy when she sent pictures showing that they were having a great time. In fact, Shiloh didn’t want to leave. We will certainly be using her again!
