Safety, trust & environment

I’m in a home with a large, fenced in yard. I have 2 dogs, a Great Dane/Catahoula Leopard mix named Alfie (M), who is 4, and a French Bulldog named Journey (F), who is 1 1/2! Both dogs are friendly & very playful! Alfie and Journey usually go between stays at my home and my parents home that is right next door to me. I can ensure your pet will be in a safe and very clean home that is equipped to handle everything from A-Z! If you have any special requests and specific instructions you need me to follow, I am more than happy to accommodate you and your beloved pet! I will have crates that can fit small and medium sized dogs, a variety of durable toys, and extra bedding and blankets. Please also feel free to bring anything at drop-off for your pet that will best suit them while they’re under my care - this can include their crate, bed, blanket, toys, or their favorite treat! If you request to have me board your pet in your home, I will ensure I leave your space in pristine condition and follow any guidance you may have to ensure I exceed your expectations!

Information Lauren E. would like to know about your pet

It’s extremely helpful that I am aware of your pet’s temperament, any medication they make take if any, medical issues, dietary restrictions, their feeding schedule, potential anxiety they may have, and any changes to their routine that could impact my sit with them just so I’m informed and can take heed to what I may need to do in order to keep things running smoothly. The information for the pup’s vet in addition to the name and phone number of an emergency contact is also appreciated. Written care instructions work perfectly to ensure superior and consistent care and aids positively in the transition from you to myself as a sitter.

A typical day

I enjoy helping to stimulate dogs both physically and mentally - from a game a fetch to playing with interactive toys, I’ll be sure to keep them engaged through their entire stay. I’m all for a great walk outdoors and exploring parks and beautiful places often! I have a large, fenced in yard that pups enjoy running back and forth in, and many times, I run with them! I work from home so I have ample time to dedicate to your pet.

Pet care experience

I have a deep-rooted passion for pets, coupled with a wealth of experience that spans every stage of a pet's life. Having raised family pets from energetic puppies to beloved seniors, I've navigated the joys and challenges of pet care that comes with each unique phase. My firsthand experience includes not only the traditional responsibilities of pet sitting but also specialized skills such as training puppies. I understand the importance of a strong foundation in obedience and socialization, and I take pride in using positive reinforcement techniques to help young pups thrive and develop good habits. In addition, my background includes compassionate senior pet care, where I’ve learned to recognize the specific needs of older animals. This experience has honed my ability to provide comfort, administer medication, and manage health issues, ensuring a dignified and loving environment for seniors in their twilight years. Having been through the heart-wrenching process of saying goodbye to pets that crossed over the rainbow bridge, I approach pet care with sensitivity and tenderness—I treat every furry friend as if they were my own, nurturing them not just physically but emotionally. With my unique blend of training expertise, hands-on experience, and deep compassion, I strive to offer a pet sitting service that truly feels like home! 🏡

Our experience with Lauren was truly fantastic. We have two dogs—one who’s new to our family and another with significant vision challenges—and Lauren handled them with such care. It can be difficult to find a sitter who is willing to cater to a dog with a disability, but Lauren administered eye drops and embraced him without hesitation. We received regular updates, and the communication was always just the right amount. The space was perfect for our dogs; I’m sure they loved having the freedom to run around together in the large yard. We will definitely be using Lauren’s dog sitting services again in the future.

Lauren and her family are absolutely THE best. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience and is an excellent communicator. Lauren was very attentive to anything that came up and handled everything with aplomb. I could not more highly recommend her. You and your pup will be treated like royalty

Lauren is the best sitter ever. I’m so happy we got a chance to meet you! She took great care of Mazi at such a short notice & was consistent with follow ups throughout the day. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after my baby. I highly recommend Lauren for your fur babies ! You won’t be disappointed!
