Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in backyard! Even though my pup is 9 years old now I still keep nothing out that he could possibly get into. No shoes are left out, no food, no chargers. In addition I also love taking pictures and sending them to you. Letting you know and see that you pup is having a great time.

Information Lauren D. would like to know about your pet
I'll need to know if your dog is ok with other dogs. Having a dog of mine of my own, both of dogs safety always comes first. Most of what I need to know I'll be able to figure out on my own, as will you, from our puppy playdate when we meet for the first time. No I do not have any breed preferences.
A typical day
One day we can explore all the neighborhoods of South Boston. Next day we can have a trip to Carson Beach. One of my favorite trips is to dog parks! There's nothing like being in a fenced in area and taking the pups off their leashes and watching them run around with other dogs and chase as many tennis balls as them can find.

Pet care experience
How lucky we are to have dogs in our world! Hi everyone, I'm Lauren, lover of all animals; especially big dogs who have no concept of their actual size. So what led you to Rover? Are you on call at work? Or are you like me and you love to travel but unfortunately the airline industry has yet to accommodate seats for our four legged companions. That's where I come in! Happy help and eager to meet you. A bit about myself: Pets -I have a 9 year old male German Shorthaired Pointer named Boone. I grew up with a Weimaraner (it's safe to say I love big dogs). Boone is incredibly active and also sweet as can be. He loves making new friends every chance gets. Schedule -I own my own company and work from home. My schedule for your pups would be 24 hours and have access to me day and night. I started working as a dog sitter because I understand how stressful it and guilty it can feel working in the city and knowing that there is a someone waiting at home for you all day and night. These wonderful creatures are loyal to a fault and no one should have to feel bad staying late at work while their pets are at home; hey we work to give them better lives, right?! Emergency? -Prior to our stay I will need you provide you emergency contact for your veterinary information. I'll also need a printed out schedule of your pets medication and known allergies. Puppy Playdate! -For overnight stays I require us to have a meet and greet or what I like to call a "puppy playdate." It's important for your dog to be happy and comfortable with both my pup and me. We can arrange a time around your schedule, as mine is flexible. A fenced in dog park is the only thing that I require for our date! I have a fenced in backyard and I live 5 minutes walking distances from a fenced in dog park.
Reviews

Lauren was absolutely amazing in watching my dog Bennington for 3 days. She was very professional, even from the beginning of the booking process by allowing for a meet and greet, which helped put my mind at ease. During my dog’s boarding, Lauren communicated with me multiple times a day, by providing pictures and videos. By viewing those pictures and videos, I had never seen my dog so happy and relaxed to be staying with someone else. She provided plenty of attention and care to my puppy. Lauren is truly the best and she made me feel like I left my best friend in the right hands. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!

We had a disappointing experience with Lauren. The meet and greet went well: My dog Rowan got along with her dog, Boone, and Lauren assured us that the dogs would never be left alone, that she walks them 6 miles daily, and that she would send “hundreds” of photos throughout the stay. Unfortunately, the stay did not reflect those promises. We dropped Rowan off at 9am per her request. We didn’t hear anything until 4pm, when Lauren told us he was staying near her front door and scratching to get out. When I followed up a bit later, she didn’t respond for nearly four hours and when she did, she mentioned she had taken a nap and she said she needed someone to come pick Rowan up, ending the stay abruptly. Rowan has never exhibited this behavior with any other sitter, which led me to believe he may have been left alone for extended periods. I was out of town and nearly had to cut my trip short. Fortunately, a friend was able to pick him up at 10:30pm and care for him for the remainder of the weekend. I would not recommend Lauren if you are traveling out of town or if your dog does not do well when left alone for long stretches of time.
Lauren D. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.

We’re so grateful for the amazing care Lauren provided for our dog, Mica, on such short notice! Mica was always happy and calm after her walks, and it gave us great peace of mind knowing she was in such capable hands. Thank you for going above and beyond!
