They'll tire of fetch before I do!
Pet care experience
Ready and willing to befriend dogs if any shape or size. I'm capable of handling larger, more powerful dogs - including the boisterous ones who don't know their own strength. I have special experience looking after older dogs who often need a bit of extra love if they struggle with arthritis or blindness. I'm experienced in dog first aid - though thankfully have never had to use it. I recently moved to New York from the UK and am in withdrawals from my own beloved family dog, Doogle. He is an older dog and we always had great luck with local dog sitters to provide us support when we couldn't be home. I would love to provide that same support to other owners and their pups.
Reviews
We could not have found someone more sweet and attentive to our pup. Lauren was AMAZING. We have a dog that has mild isolation anxiety and gets nervous around other dogs. Lauren took such great care of helping our pup feel happy and comfortable. We received comforting photos/updates during their time together. It helped us be able to enjoy our time away knowing she was in such great hands. We will DEFINITELY be repeat clients.
We contacted Lauren for a last minute cat-sitting for our two cats. We could meet right away before we left. She fed our cats and took care of them, she is very reliable and sent pictures the 2 times she came by. She followed our instructions precisely.
Lauren was wonderful! Very kind, reliable and easy-going. She took great care of my slightly neurotic dog during his first visit to NYC, and kept me updated.
Lauren took care of Arlo, our mini Dachsund, when we visited NYC. She made everything very easy for us, and Arlo loved his time with her. Communication before our visit was great. In New York, Lauren picked Arlo up from us at our hotel, kept us posted on how he was doing (tired from having so much fun!), and dropped him back off that night. We couldn't have asked for someone more attentive and responsible to take care of our dog, and we will absolutely contact Lauren to see if she can watch Arlo the next time we visit. Five Stars (only because they don't offer six) !!

Information Lauren D. would like to know about your pet
No breed preference, but would be useful to know the dog's personality - whether they are nervous, friendly with other dogs, energetic, etc.
A typical day
There are two lovely dog parks near where I live - it would be an opportunity for some off the leash time. I have a good throwing arm so a few rounds of fetch would be in order, then perhaps a wander around chelsea - with lots of interesting smells and other dogs to interact with
