Lauren was an exceptional caregiver for Max. I felt completely at ease during my time away, knowing he was in such loving hands. I truly appreciated the daily updates, and it was clear from the photos and messages that Max was happy and well cared for throughout his stay. I’m truly grateful for the whole experience and wouldn’t hesitate to book with Lauren again in the near future.

Lauren did phenomenal with my anxious pup. Since it was Max’s first time with Lauren, I was a little worried about what that adjustment may look like but she took extra care to make sure he was comfortable. She was very responsive and provided plenty of pupdates which I super appreciated! I know max would love to stay with Lauren again!

Lauren was so sweet and patient with our little guy! He is definitely a Velcro pup, but settled in right away with Lauren’s affection and attention. She gave us reassuring updates throughout the day. We are so relieved to have found her and feel confident leaving our baby with her for an upcoming trip!

Lauren was such an attentive dog sitter for our active corgi, Banks. She was so detailed with his care, and he clearly got a lot of attention. We would definitely book with her again.
