Animal Loving Adventurer & Mom
In addition to owning and caring for animals since I was a child, I was a professional dog trainer at PetSmart in college. I abolsutely love fostering dogs and caring for the needs of all personality types. I believe animals should be treated with the highest of patience and respect and therefore I have a firm "ignore the bad, reward the good" policy in my home for my pets (and guest pets). I will treat your beloved four-legged family member as if it were my own. My #1 goal is to give my clients the reassurance and security they deserve when leaving their baby behind. I work remotely from my home which allows me the opportunity to give my furry guests all the attention they require. Drop-off and pick-up times can be arranged conveniently around your schedule. I have a 2yo son who is home with me on Tuesdays and Thursdays and a 4yo yellow lab who is always home with me. Both are pure joy and will warmly welcome just about any personality type into their "Pack" with open arms (and paws). I will care for your pet as if it were my own - with love, patience, kindless, and full-attentivness. I can follow strict schedules, dietary needs, bathroom needs, and sleeping arrangements as if your pet were still at home. I will NEVER physically disicline your pet. I will take the same approach I do with my own pets and redirect unwanted behavior. I have the full understanding that animals may need time and special care to adapt to new surroundings and I'm equipped to handle such adjustments.

Ratings and reviews
This was our 2nd time leaving our dogs with Lauren, and she was amazing as usual. She sends pictures, and updates regularly, and the dogs were so happy to see her again.
Lauren was great to work with. She kept me updated with fun pictures and videos. Our pup had a great time playing with their dog, penny, and was nice and worn out when we picked her up!
Lauren and her amazing family aloud my 11 month old Goldendoodle to stay for a 3 day weekend while I was in town. She along with their own dog Penny, welcomed my dog very openly and accepted her like their own. The entire experience couldn’t have gone over any better, I was a first time Rover user and she helped the entire way. The home is a perfect location to house weekend friends! Also, I appreciate her patience and enthusiasm towards this app. Thank you!
Lauren was wonderful with my 2 dogs. They are both young (1 year, and 8 months), so are a handful. Of course the worst possible timing, my youngest got a cut on his foot just before we went on vacation, so his foot was bandaged. She put my fears to rest that she could handle any medical issues he had. She rebandaged his foot and gave him his meds when needed. She kept in contact with me daily, and sent pictures so I could see how well they were doing. She even gave my older dog her son's teddy bear, because she snuggled with it all day. I will definitely be using Lauren again soon.
My boy loved it here!! He went for a daycare day. I reached four last minute and they were able to accommodate me!! Thank you guys ? I also loved getting updates and always in communication with me as needed. I will 100% book with Lauren again. HIGHLY recommend!!
She worked very well with me and attempted to board my rescue dog on his first extended stay with other dogs. She made the most out of the situation and when my dog had issues that were to much she provided several solutions to work with included going back and forth to my place and letting my dog out so I could continue my trip. Would definitely use her after my dog gets more behavior training

A typical day
During your pet's stay, I plan to go on walks around the neighborhood, play fetch in the (fenced-in) backyard, have supervised free-play in the backyard, and swim in our doggy pool in the backyard.
