Caring & Experienced Dog Sitter

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.

I love taking care of animals! I am very attentive to their needs and can easily crate them if needed, walk them, and just spend extra time with them.

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.

Lauren is a very sweet woman who made friends quickly with our nervous golden doodle. She was also very good at communicating with us about her arrival time. We would gladly book her again.
