Lauren's Pet Sitting

I am back!! I took a break for a bit to focus on my daughter when she was born, but as she is getting a little older we are ready to take on more dog visitors again— looking forward to rebuilding my client base in the area! I am a caring and responsible person who has been around animals her whole life. I cannot remember a time I have not lived with an animal! I have had cats and dogs, and have also rescued and fostered dogs in my home. I care for other people's pets as my own and understand how nerve wracking it is to leave your pet with someone else. I have a husband and a son who are both animal lovers as well so we would provide a fun and happy home away from home for your animal! We also recently welcomed our daughter to the family who is an infant, so we would be looking to watch baby-friendly dogs at this time! At this time we do not own any of our own pets!

Lauren is wonderful! Charlotte has stayed with Lauren and her family several times and always comes home very happy. Lauren sends updates regularly and I always know that Charlotte is well taken care of at Lauren’s house.

Lauren is terrific! I always have a difficult time leaving Charlotte because I’m an anxious pet parent, but I know when Charlotte is with Lauren she is well cared for and happy. Lauren sends pics and updates and if I message her she always responds quickly. Charlotte has stayed with Lauren and her family numerous times and she always comes home tired (from play and attention) and happy. We have some bookings with Lauren in the upcoming year and it eases my mind that Charlotte will be in a safe, caring environment when I can’t be with her.

Lauren is terrific! She’s watched my dog several times and she’s always very accommodating and sends updates regularly. My dog is always happy when we drop her off, and tired when she comes home!

Lauren is terrific! Charlotte is always happy to go visit with Lauren and her family and is always happy when we pick her up. Lauren has watched Charlotte several times and we’re always happy with her communication and the care Charlotte receives!

Lauren and her family are terrific. My dog has stayed with them multiple times and she is always happy when we get there, and happy when we pick her up. Lauren keeps in touch with pictures and text updates and response quickly to questions, which is so appreciated because I’m a nervous dog mom. I’m always very relieved when Lauren is able to watch Charlotte because I know that she will be well cared for and happy during her visit.
