Care you can trust when you're away
Pet care experience
When my work went remote for the pandemic, word got out amongst my friends that I was available to dog-sit. I specialize in long term stays for dogs and puppies. Is your dog "difficult"? No problem! Growing up, I lived in a dog house where we bred dogs (responsibly, as part of a breeding program) and fostered dogs on death row. As an adult, I've found my passion for dog training and trained my own dog multiple times a week for several years at competition obedience and agility. I am in my thirties and provide consistent and loving care you can trust for your furry family members.
Reviews
Lauren was fantastic with my dear Miz Mia! I can recommend her without any hesitation at all. She was attentive to Mia's needs, followed my instructions to the letter, and went the extra mile each day in keeping me updated. You won't worry for one second when Lauren is caring for your beloved pet or your home. I hope to book with her again! Thank you, Lauren, for all of your exceptional care!
Lauren did a great job staying with my dog. She followed all my instructions and took him on walks everyday. He is a reactive dog who is in training, but she was able to handle him well. Lauren responded to messages promptly and was punctual. She left the house in good condition.

Safety, trust & environment
I specialize in house sitting. I will ensure your pet receives high quality care with feeding, walks, and light training if desired. I am an accomplished endurance athlete and can take dogs for runs if desired. I also have experience administering medications including IVs and shots. Watering plants and basic home maintenance is also included, but must be cleared with me beforehand. If you have questions about what I'd be willing to do, don't hesitate to ask.
Information Lauren D. would like to know about your pet
Tell me about your dog - high vs low energy? Likes other dogs or keep a distance? And of course any vital health information or dietary requirements.
A typical day
Every dog is different and it is important a sitter can accommodate your dog’s needs. Most dogs need mental stimulation to live their best lives, even if that’s just looking for a treat in my palms or going for a short walk to sniff. If your dog has larger exercise requirements I will take him or her for runs with me, to play ball, or to the dog park if they are friendly with other dogs.

Availability
House Sitting: I am getting my PhD and work remotely. While you are away I will stay in your home and ensure your pet is cared for throughout the day and night. Dog(s) will be let out every four to six hours, puppies more frequently. Dog Walking **New Service**: I am accepting dog walking clients in the area around my home. Same day bookings are welcome. I am extremely active. If you have a high energy dog with large exercise requirements, you can book me for a 30-40 minute run. If this service is desired, please select my 60 minute rate, as I charge slightly more for running.
