Safety, trust & environment

Learning more about the pet by asking their owners the routine, character, likes or dislikes, but mostly I observe the pet and follow directions given to me.

Information Lauren D. would like to know about your pet

Allergies, food diet, as well as their preferences and requirements. Most importantly, they’re character as you perceive it, likes/dislikes, habits, unusual behaviors, and most importantly their past and patterns.

A typical day

A typical day will depend on the pet’s character and needs. For example, if a dog is very hyper but cannot be around other dogs, I will seek a safe and effective enclosed environment so that the baby can have fun but be kept safe as well as others. On the other hand, if the pet is more chill, I’ll definitely seek what he likes by walking around. Most dogs that are elderly or not physically capable to run will most likely enjoy sweet hugs, talks, laughs, but most importantly APPRECIATED!!!!

Angels have wings but mostly paws!

Pet care experience

Dogs are a gift from heaven. It’s important to understand them and give them the same unconditional respect, compassion and love they give to us. I am a mother of two beautiful dogs one named Simba (with mom in France), and my princess named Angel. She was in the shelter her whole life. I was told it would be tough to accommodate her to a normal life, but I realized that all she needed was to feel loved, safe and mostly by my side forever! She understood from the moment I rescued her that she had a furrrever home :) Also, I’m a dual citizen, French and American, so if your dog comes home speaking French don’t be surprised 😁

Thank you for helping out on short notice. Lauren went above my expectations when she came to feed my cats. She even scooped the litter box. From the pictures she provided, my cats took an instant liking to her which i found to be amazing, they are known to hide if someone ne comes around.

Lauren, is a sweet caring animal lover in general. She has been known to adapt pets herself and have always shown a deep love for her own pets as well as for others' pet. She is always active by playing with the dogs and taking them for long walks. I highly recommend her as a dog sitter or just as a dog walker. I'm sure your pet will grow fond of her too.

​If you are looking for someone dependable to care for your pets, Lauren is the perfect person. She has a very warm and patient personality, and her genuine love for animals shows through in everything she does. Because of her attention to detail, strong work ethic, and caring heart, she excels at what she does. Seeing how deeply she cares for her own dog, Angel, gives me confidence that any animal in her hands is receiving the best love and attention.
