Caring & Experienced Dog Sitter

Pet care experience

I’ve been dog walking in Pittsburgh for 2 years! Before that, I frequently dog sat for family friends during summer vacations, much of this care has included taking care of senior pups. I also volunteered at 4 Paws for Ability working with many of the puppies there. My family has also fostered service dogs in training and I have lots of experience with large dogs.

Lauren was absolutely wonderful! Super communicative, dependable and responsible. She was great with our 2 dogs, especially our senior girl who can be a little finicky at first when we go on vacation. We would definitely re-book her in the future!

Lauren did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. She was on time each day and communicated well, sending us pictures of our kitty every day.
