🐶💕 A Home Away From Home 💕🐱

Hi there! I’m Lauren, I have grown up with all kinds of animals like they were my family members, (even wild animals!). When your fur baby stays with me, they are a part of my family. I live with my Australian Cattle Dog, Spooky, and we love welcoming new friends into our home. Whether your baby needs snuggles, a play buddy or a friend to help them adjust, I am here to provide loving care. I treat every animal as if they were my own fur baby, making sure their stay is filled with comfort, play, and affection.

Lauren really entertained Poppy, taking her to the beach and to the dogpark across the street from her house. She sent a lot of photos and ket me informed.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was so nervous leaving my dog for the first time, but Lauren made the whole experience genuinely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, it was clear she has a natural way with animals calm, attentive, and so caring. My pup took to her immediately, which honestly said everything. And then there's Spooky. I was not prepared for how much I would love this dog. She kept my baby company the whole stay and I think my dog is still thinking about her. They were best friends by day two. Lauren sent updates and photos without me even having to ask, stuck to my dog's routine perfectly, and I could tell my pup was genuinely happy and comfortable the whole time. I came back to a relaxed, loved dog which is all you can really ask for. We will absolutely be booking again. Lauren and Spooky are the real deal. 🐾

Lauren is a caring, responsible, and trustworthy pet lover who treats animals with genuine love and patience. She is especially devoted to her own dog, Spooky, and understands how important routine, safety, attention, and affection are for pets. She is gentle, reliable, and attentive, and I would feel comfortable trusting her to care for my pet. Any pet in Lauren’s care would be treated like family.

Schedule

I work from home as a digital marketer so I will be with your fur baby 24/7. Throughout the day I provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. I do my best to follow your routine closely (if you have one you want me to follow) to make sure your baby feels comfortable, loved, and cared for while you are away.

Safety, trust & environment

Since I work from home I can be with your fur baby 24/7. I create a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel happy. Since I work remotely, I can provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and companionship. I always follow your instructions carefully (if you give me any), feeding routines, medication needs, leash rules, crate preferences, and any special care notes. I make every pet feel safe, loved, and cared for like they are my own fur baby.

Pets

A typical day

Since I am home 24/7, your pet will have constant attention and companionship. A typical day: Morning: A refreshing walk and playtime with Spooky in our huge fenced yard to start the day right. Mid day: Plenty of 'office hours' your pet can lounge by my side while I work, with frequent breaks for belly rubs and fresh water. Afternoon: Game of fetch, a practice session for tricks, and cuddles. Evening: A relaxing wind down routine to make sure your fur baby feels safe and sleepy before bedtime. (I prioritize maintaining the routine you have at home to keep your baby's transition as stress free as possible if you have one at home.)

Before caring for your baby, I like to know their normal routine, feeding schedule, potty schedule, energy level, favorite activities, and any special needs. It’s also important for me to know about medications, allergies, anxiety, reactivity, fears, crate training, leash habits, and how they do around other dogs or people. I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable, so the more I know about their personality and routine, the better care I can provide.
