Sonoma pup paradise! 60+ reviews
* I have been watching dogs on Rover for 10 years - please see my 60 positive reviews! * I do not increase prices for holidays, and have had several guests stay for over 10 days at a time. * I've been a lifelong dog owner and lover, and I am comfortable distributing medication, with elderly dogs, with dogs that need lots of exercise, and everything in between. * We have a very docile 15-lb male poodle-lhasa mix who LOVES other dogs. * My husband Andy (co-pilot in Rover sitting) and I are centrally located near Sonoma Plaza and love to walk for exercise. * We have a fully fenced backyard. * I treat the dogs we babysit like I do my own, do not let them off leash, and send multiple photos and videos each day to keep all owners up to date on all of our walks and adventures. * We have a 6-year-old kid who’s very gentle (ambivalent, in most cases) with dogs.

Ratings and reviews
Nicky was treated like family. He was happy to be with Lauren. She knows dogs!
Lauren and her family are awesome! Rafa was a happy dog and we will definitely be using them again!
Lauren was so great about sending pix and updates on Toto’s day with her and Odin. Toto looked really happy and enjoyed playing at her house for the day. It was so nice to be able to go out for the day and not worry about rushing back for potty breaks. Thank you for making it easy and look forward to asking for your help another time.
Lauren and her family were so wonderful. I loved getting regular photo updates. Some of the pictures that came out were so precious! Moksha loves to be around lots of people so I'm really happy she got to stay in a setting where she had plenty of friends and attention.
Lauren and her family were patient, kind and caring and took Nisi on many adventures! She was very lucky to have them!
Max's stay with Lauren was a vacation ... for him as well as for us. Lauren's care was thoughtful, attentive, kind, and playful. Max is ready for another stay anytime!

We are available during the week or weekends. We both work from home. Our son is in school full time during the week and on evenings / weekends he loves to play with our visiting pups.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space, and love to walk around town and know all the most dog-friendly places. They’ll never be out of my sight. We're also comfortable dealing with anxious dogs that would prefer to chill at home and in the backyard.
Pets
A typical day
We spend all our free time outside and love to walk/run/hike around Sonoma. I know all the dog-friendly spots in town and anyone who visits us is a dog lover as well!
