🐾 Your Dog’s/Cat’s Home Away From Home 🐾 Hi! I’m so glad you’re here. I know how much your dog means to you—they’re family—and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I’m a responsible, attentive, and genuinely dog-loving sitter who treats every pup as if they were my own. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or more laid-back and cuddly, I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable and stress-free in my care. 🐶 What you can expect when your dog stays with me: • Plenty of love, attention, and one-on-one care • Safe, supervised walks and playtime • Respect for your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, and training • A calm, clean, and dog-friendly environment • Regular photo and text updates so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing I understand that leaving your dog with someone new can be nerve-wracking—that’s why communication is very important to me. I’m always happy to answer questions, accommodate special requests, and keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Whether you’re heading out of town, working long hours, or just need a helping hand, I’d love to be someone you can trust and rely on. I truly enjoy building long-term relationships with both dogs and their owners. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! 🐕💛

Doggy Day Care • Apr 14, 2023

Our dog otter had an awesome time with Lauren and her adorable boston terrier. Otter felt at home right away and was very sad to leave at pickup. Lauren was responsive, flexible and sent updates throughout the day. She makes watching your pet a priority and it’s clear he/she will be in good hands. We highly recommend Lauren and will definitely use her for daycare in the future!

Doggy Day Care • Jan 22, 2023

Lauren is one of the kindest people you could meet, and had a very cute dog that will play with your doggy, provided your dog has the energy, hahaha. I would recommend Lauren in a heartbeat if you need a great, empathetic caregiver for your pup.

Dog Walking • Feb 24, 2022

We all loved Lauren! The dogs looked forward to their daily walks. She was flexible when our schedule changed a bit. She sent photos and just made us feel comfortable with the decision we made to have her spend time with our furry friends. We will DEFINITELY call on her again when needed.

Schedule

Because I work from home, I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. Your dog’s routine becomes part of my routine. I’m available for frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and check-ins, and I’m always nearby to supervise and keep them comfortable. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal schedule as closely as possible—whether that means early morning walks, midday play sessions, specific feeding times, or extra cuddle breaks. Since I’m home most of the day, dogs get lots of companionship and a calm, consistent presence, which is especially helpful for puppies, seniors, or dogs who prefer not to be alone. You can feel confident knowing your dog will be cared for, watched, and loved throughout the day—not just checked in on.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly apartment where dogs can feel comfortable and at ease. Pets are treated like part of the family and are always supervised while in my care. I’m mindful of safety at all times and make sure dogs have plenty of space to relax, play, and settle in comfortably. For exercise and enrichment, there is a secure dog park located right on my property. With your permission, I’m happy to take dogs there for fresh air, playtime, and socialization. If your dog prefers quieter walks or one-on-one time instead, I fully respect that and tailor care to their comfort level and needs. Whether your dog loves active play or cozy downtime, I adapt to their personality and routine to make their stay feel like home. My goal is always for pets to feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away.
