I'm a full-time college student at George Mason, and I've got oodles of time to look after your furry pals! Super flexible, so please reach out, and we can figure something out that fits into your schedule. I'm all about hiking, long runs, and hitting the gym regularly, ensuring I can squeeze in plenty of dog walks throughout the day! I love making every dog I encounter feel cherished and unique is my thing—whether it's through loads of scratches or leisurely sniff-filled walks!

A college student who loves animals

Pet care experience

I've been a dog and cat enthusiast for as far back as I can recall! As a kid, I used to enjoy hanging out at my friends' places, taking their dogs for a spin just for kicks. As I grew up, I found joy in looking after their cats and dogs whenever they were away on vacation. Making every dog I encounter feel cherished and unique is my thing—whether it's through loads of scratches or leisurely sniff-filled walks!

Lauren came to our house to do check-ins for our dog while we were away for a long weekend. She was thorough, reliable, and quick to respond. We would definitely ask her to watch our dog again in the future. Thank you!!!

Lauren looked after our 2 cats for a weekend away and we highly recommend her! She sent detailed notes and photos and we felt completely comfortable while she was away! She even helped to bring in our Amazon packages, and met with us ahead of our trip for instructions. We will be a repeat customer in the future. You'll be in great care with Lauren!

LAUREN, Our furbabies love you and your cuddles when we are away. You have been great with them and we greatly appreciate all you do for us when we aren't able to take them with us on our travels. Looking forward to next time.
