Highlights
Pet care experience
~Golden Retriever Energy Dogsitter~
What sets me apart is my experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels, often multiple pets at once. I grew up in a home with 2–3 dogs at a time, which taught me how to manage different personalities, routines, and needs simultaneously. I have hands-on experience with puppies, including training basics, high-energy management, and establishing consistent routines. I’ve raised my own silver Labrador, Nelly, since she was 16 weeks old, so I’m very comfortable with puppy behavior, leash training, and structured play to help them burn energy. I also have experience with senior dogs, including administering medication and providing the extra patience, comfort, and attentiveness they require. In addition, I’ve completed repeated house and pet sits through Trusted House Sitters, caring for both dogs and cats while maintaining the home—so reliability and responsibility are second nature to me. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their humans are away.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Lauren is amazing! She took care of our 7 month old puppy, Buddy for 9 nights/9 days. She took him on lots of walks and made sure he had plenty of playtime while we were away. Buddy had an infection in his paw the day before we left on our trip and Lauren made sure Buddy took all of his meds while we were away no problem. Lauren sent lots of photos and daily updates which was so fun for my kiddos to see while we were away. We will definitely book Lauren to keep Buddy again. I know he will love being with her again and it gives me peace of mind knowing that he is so well taken care of while we are away. I strongly recommend Lauren for anyone looking for a reliable, kind, caring and trustworthy person to watch their dog.
Lauren was great!! Super communicative for each check in. Thank you!!
Lauren was so attentive and easy! Birdie connected with her so easy 💕💕
Lauren has been an absolutely amazing dog walker for our 10 month old pup Leo. He is not the easiest on a leash but she is energetic and gives him the same love and attention that we would! We are so glad to have found Lauren - super reliable and communicates so well. Highly recommend!
She took such good care of my baby Winnie! It was my first time leaving her with a sitter and Lauren was so great and sent the best updates! Totally recommend!!!!
Lauren is the best. She is so timely and available on short notice. My work schedule changes weekly and she has a big heart for Paulie. He loves her! She shares a lot of details about their time together and I’d recommend her to anyone!

Schedule
Pet care fits easily into my routine since I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I’m available for midday walks, frequent check-ins, feedings, and playtime, and I’m able to adjust my day to meet each pet’s specific needs.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, dogs have access to a fully fenced yard and can go outside as often as they need for potty breaks and fresh air. They’ll receive lots of love, attention, playtime, and walks. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for.

A typical day
I love taking dogs on long walks, playing fetch, and letting them run around to get all their energy out. We’ll also take time to explore the neighborhood, check out all the new smells, and of course investigate every good stick along the way
