Dog lover and owner!

Hello! I have grown up with dogs since I can remember and have my own mini Australian Shepherd! I have been watching family friends dogs for years. I care for others dogs the way I would hope my dog is cared for when I am gone. I am a runner and live near Shelby Park so I would love to take your dog on a run, walks, play fetch etc.!

Lauren was awesome- and so was Frisco! My pup felt right at home with them and Lauren treated her as if she were her own. She was very communicative and overall great to work with.

The best of the best! Arlo felt right at home with Lauren. She provided daily updates, pictures, and cuddles while we were away. I highly recommend her!

Lauren was able to help us out last minute when our original sitter cancelled 2 days before our trip! Lauren was very responsive and great with our Winnie girl. Would recommend!

Lauren was the best Rover pal for my fur babes, Marge & Morty. Both animals love cuddles & attention and Lauren satisfied their needs tenfold! Not only did she take great care of M&M, she also watched over and took fantastic care of the house. Thank you Lauren— we can’t wait to see you again!

Schedule

I work from home Monday through Thursday- I am in office on Fridays but come home for lunch. My dog is very social so I love housing other dogs that are also social so my dog can have as much fun as I do dog sitting! I take my dog on walks after work and go on runs 3-4 days a week, plus we have a fenced in backyard to use for potty breaks and fetch.

Are they good with other dogs is an important detail as I have a mini Australian Shepherd at home. We can do a meet up with the pups before boarding if desired. I would also need to know any allergies. Knowing any training specific details would be great so I can ensure their training is continued during boarding and I’m not supporting behaviors you wouldn’t want them to continue upon your return. What activities do they enjoy (I.e. walks, fetch, running, bike rides) and their energy levels so I know how to accommodate them and make sure they are happy during their stay!
