Highlights
Pet care experience
A home from home!
I am a well experience dog boarder who has been trusted to care for dogs from a young age. Now living with my partner at RAF Benson, we have acquired our dog boarding license and made our home as perfect as possible for dogs of all kinds. They will have daily exercise at local dog fields in the surrounding area, get lots of treats and attention, whilst your kept well informed with everything going on to make your time away as stress free as possible!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Lauren has looked after our dog multiple times now and he absolutely loves being with her. We have a high energy springer spaniel that is so excited any time we head to Lauren’s. We get regular updates and photos/videos, so can see how happy he is with Lauren and how well he is looked after. I would 100% recommend Lauren to look after any dogs.
Couldn’t recommend Lauren and Ben enough! Oakley has been going to them since March 2026 for a mixture of day care and overnight stays. They have always been very accommodating with the care we need. Ever since they met they have bonded so well, and Oakley absolutely loves going there. It gives me such peace of mind knowing that he is happy, safe and so well looked after. Lauren and Ben have been amazing with him, and we’re so grateful for all the care and love they give him. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them
Lauren has been walking our GWP Winnie for a year now, she has been superb managing Winnie’s nervous behaviour, introducing Winnie to new dogs slowly and at Winnie’s pace has allowed her to properly socialise in a big group of other dogs in a secure and fun environment. Always helpful to our hectic schedule we can rely on Lauren to provide excellent care for Winnie throughout the year. Winnie has also boarded with Lauren and it is a weight off the mind knowing Winnie is being cared for in such a homely and loving household. Would highly recommend her services.
Lauren has been walking and having my Labrador to stay for well over a year now and she’s just faultless. He absolutely adores heading out for adventures with her and trots into her house and makes himself comfortable when he’s staying over. I trust her implicitly and couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
We have used Lauren a few times for home boarding for our springer spaniel. She has been absolutely amazing for our dog. He gets excited when he see Lauren’s house as he know where he is going, and he doesn’t want to come home at the end as he gets treated so so well! He is high energy and he becomes your shadow. He has been described as having FOMO, none of this was a problem for Lauren. We got regular updates when we was away which is always lovely espiaclly during the heat waves. Pictures of your dog swimming or running around with other happy dogs is just the best. Would 1000% recommend Lauren’s services to anybody looking! So trust worthy and reliable. Nothing was ever to much.

Schedule
I’m a full-time dog boarder offering 24/7 care. Your dog will join our daily group walks at a private, secure dog field, once or twice a day depending on their routine and your preference, so zero recall isn’t an issue. Back at home, they can enjoy plenty of cuddles on the sofa or relax in one of our many comfy dog beds. We’ll keep their feeding routine exactly as it is at home, and at bedtime they can sleep wherever they’re happiest in one of our crates, on a dog bed or even on the bed! You’ll also receive regular photos and updates throughout their stay, so you can relax knowing they’re happy, settled and well cared for.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is at the heart of everything we do. Lauren is trained in Pet First Aid and Pet CPR, and we have comprehensive safety measures and procedures in place, including: •Dedicated dog and human first-aid kits • Fire extinguishers and fire blankets throughout the home • Safety latches and secure locks on doors and windows. • A coded deadbolt on the porch door • A fully enclosed 6-foot secure garden •Pet-safe cleaning products and strict hygiene procedures • Detailed procedures to follow for safety, emergencies, cleaning, feeding and the care of every dog We don’t just meet the expected standard of care, we aim to go above and beyond it. Every detail has been carefully considered to make sure your dog is safe, comfortable and well cared for throughout their stay. And most importantly, this is our home, not a kennel. Your dog becomes part of our household from the moment they arrive, receiving the same love, attention and care we give our own dogs. ❤️
Pets
A typical day
A typical daycare/boarding day looks roughly like: • Straight into the garden for a wee/poo. • Half an hour of playing, followed by a nap while I get jobs done (refresh water/pick up poo etc) • Group walk around 11am–1pm, always 60 minutes • Drop-off any extra friends after the walk, then back home for fresh water, lunch and another big nap • More sofa cuddles and playtime before home/bed time So it’s really a mixture of playing, walking, sleeping, cuddles and lots of attention throughout the day.
