Almost Professional Dog Snuggler

Pet care experience

Three years ago my sister and I adopted an adorable rescue named Hazel. Hazel is a mix, and she weighs about 40lbs. When Hazel came into my life, she taught me everything I know about puppies and dogs. Hazel recently moved to Denver with my sister and I'm looking forward to treating your dog as if they were my own (with lots of cuddles and love). During the Pandemic, my parents and I rescued a dog named Bourbon. She is from Louisiana so thought the name Bourbon fit well! She is a Border Collie/Pointer mix (we think) and as of October 2020 she will be about 10-11 months old. Bourbon is very sweet, loves other dogs and it's been really fun training her over the last 6 months. She splits her time between my parents home which has much more space, and my city apartment (where she gets to play with the neighborhood dogs). She stays with me for about 1 week/month. I like to run and walk with her and recently we started hiking together which she loves. I am very active and would love to take your dog on walks, runs, or hikes on the weekends. I have experience with off-leash hiking or trail running as well. If your dog prefers to chill inside, I also love watching movies and cuddling! I do live walking distance to a large, fenced-in dog park. I also have experience caring for dogs of most sizes- from 20-90 lbs. Your dog is going to feel pampered, exercised and loved by me so that you can have 100% peace of mind! And I promise to send lots of pictures- I know what it feels like to be a dog parent and miss them dearly when I travel.

Lauren was great at taking care of Teddy and keeping us up to date what he was doing. We felt very at ease knowing he was in good hands.

Lauren is an extremely professional, thoughtful and organized person. She can handle dogs of any size and can connect easily with them, so that they feel safe and cared for. She is always dependable and treats the dogs as if they were her own. Could not recommend her enough, your dogs will be in the best hands!

You pup is safe in Lauren’s hands! She is a natural caregiver and has become the second Mom for two pups in her family. She loves to spend time outdoors and relaxing at home so she’ll be the perfect fit for whatever your pup is in the mood for.

Lauren is a dog lover at heart and is patient, living and a strong walker. She also is trustworthy to have in your home. Lauren takes care of our dog at least once a month and is very careful to follow our lead as the dog owners and treats the puppy with huge amount of love and patience and discipline when needed. I can’t think of a better dog walker or sitter!

Information Lauren D. would like to know about your pet

My apartment building allows dogs, but I would want to make sure they don't bark too frequently as I do have neighbors. I also would like to know about their personality and how the owner communicates with them. I do not have breed preferences but I am a small adult so if your dog tends to pull a lot on leash, I may not be the best one for the job.

A typical day

Sheepfold dog park is a 10 minute drive and I live near a fenced in dog-park as well. We can hike in New Hampshire or in the Middlesex Fells too! I love to cuddle and if your dog is homesick- we can spend time on the couch together! Once the Pandemic makes it safe to socialize at Breweries again- i would love to take your dog on local adventures!
