Trusted Experienced Dog Care

Hi! My name is Lauren, and caring for dogs is something I genuinely love. I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, and I strive to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I have hands on experience working at a vet owned doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and needs. Through that experience, I’ve become comfortable handling: * Puppies and high-energy dogs * Senior dogs needing extra patience and care * Dogs with medical needs and medication schedules * Reactive or dog-aggressive dogs * Anxious or shy dogs who need a calmer approach Because of my background, I’ve learned how to read dog body language, recognize stress signals, and adapt to each dog’s unique personality and routine. My goal is always to make your pet feel as relaxed and happy as possible while keeping you updated for peace of mind. I currently only offer care in the owner’s home because I believe many dogs are happiest and least stressed in their familiar environment. Staying in their own home allows them to keep their routine, sleep comfortably, and receive one-on-one attention and care. Since my husband is currently deployed, I’m back home full-time, I have a very flexible schedule and am available 24/7 for your pet’s needs. This means plenty of potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. Not just quick drop-ins. I know leaving your pet with someone else can be nerve wracking, so communication is very important to me. I’ll always keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages so you can relax knowing your dog is in caring and capable hands. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member!

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Since I provide care in the owner’s home, your pet stays in a familiar environment, which helps reduce stress and anxiety. I carefully follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medications, and behavior guidelines. With my background working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, I’m experienced in handling dogs of all temperaments, including puppies, senior dogs, medical needs, and dogs that may be reactive or need extra patience. I always use calm, attentive handling and prioritize positive, stress-free interactions

Schedule

Pet care easily fits into my daily routine since I currently have a very flexible schedule. I’m available for morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight care depending on your needs. I do my best to follow your dog’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Consistency is always my goal, whether that’s feeding times, walks, or potty breaks.

Before caring for your dog, it’s important for me to know: * Feeding schedule and portion sizes * Any medications or health needs * Behavior around other dogs, people, or triggers * Potty habits and walking routine * Commands they know and any training rules you follow * Anxiety levels or comfort routines (crates, toys, bedtime habits, etc.) * Emergency vet contact information The more I know, the better I can keep your dog safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away😁
