All dogs are puppies!
Pet care experience
How lucky we are that 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. Thats where I come in! Happy help and eager to meet you. A bit about myself: Pets -I have a 6 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 is simply a wonderful, kind considerate person. She truly loves dogs and it has been my experience she goes above and beyond to treat them well when they are in her care. Lauren is always on time and is extremely careful. Safety is always on her mind. She is extremely intelligent and is proactive in anticipating any potential risk that could harm a dog and will avoid those risks. Dogs sense she is a kind person and generally appear relaxed when they are with Lauren. Overall, I would recommend Lauren as very capable, kind dog walker.
Highly highly recommend! Lauren was a SAVIOR for my family when it came to taking care of our west highland terrier Gideon! She was always on time, attentive, a natural dog lover and most of all she helped Gideon get his spirit back after our aging cat Sharon passed away :( Lauren is trustworthy and loyal and you would be lucky to have her care for your pet!
I always knew Lauren took great care of her dog but I never realised how truly fantastic she was with dogs until I asked her to watch my dog, Dayzie. She's a miniature daschund that has always been a bit much for sitters to handle. When I go away for the weekend I can usually expect to hear about how she would have accidents in the house or destroyed my house shoes. I would always come home to a dog so hyped up I could barely pet her. With Lauren it was completely different. When I got home Dayzie met me at the door and I just knew she'd had a pretty good weekend. Lauren took the time to figure out what she needed and took her on the long walks and gave her the extra cuddle time so she was able to handle me being gone.

I have a fenced in backyard! Even though my pup is 6 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 seeing 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.
