Pet care experience

Home full time during the summer!

Hello! My name is Lauren. I am a middle school teacher - a passion second only to my love for animals. I am a huge dog lover and in college, socialized service dogs in training. I took my four different pups everywhere I went, getting them use to all different people and situations and preparing them to hopefully become service dogs. I have grown up with dogs my entire life and now have three of my own, Noelle, Nani and Levi. I own my home with a large fenced yard for plenty of room to run. I am home in the summers with my pups who love playing and meeting new friends :) We would love to help you in whatever way we can!

I’ve booked Lauren twice to drop in on my cat! It has been a seamless and worry free experience! I will be booking her again in the future!

Lauren was excellent taking care of our cats. Logan is especially skiddish, and Lily is mostly suspicious, but they both warmed right up to her. We’ve had problems leaving them before, but they were well cared for and Lauren went above and beyond to make sure they were as happy as they could be. I really appreciated the photos from the visits, it meant a lot to know they were in good hands.

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Lives in a house

Safety, trust & environment

I have a privacy fenced yard and any and all furniture in the house is up for grabs as a pet bed. It is a three floor house so the pet will need to be okay with stairs!

Pets

A typical day

Lots of backyard hangs! We like to be outside and the privacy fenced yard allows for dogs to be outside with us while we work on our fixer upper projects.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only
Lauren can host up to 1 pet per night
I have no breed or weight preferences. As long as your dog will tolerate mine, I would love to meet them! I also like to know how your dogs are with cats. My cats will hide with unknown dogs but I need to make sure they will not be sought out.
