Dog caregiving at home is my fulltime job and my routine is my lifestyle. As a dog caregiver, consistency is key. My life consists of learning, applying what I learn, training, providing hygienic care, and taking care of the dogs. I spend a lot of time at home with them, both inside and outside, in a neighborhood that’s quiet, safe, and perfect for them. Each day, I dedicate time to meet the specific needs of the dogs in my care. Whether it’s hygienic care, handling training, lap time, walks,etcs; I ensure every dog gets the individualized attention they deserve. Let me know if you’d like any additional services like grooming, training, etc. I’m here to help and will gladly go over any details.

Lauren spent time with Lucy. I can tell she enjoys spending time with the dogs she watches. I had plenty of pictures showing Lucy was taken care of. I would recommend Lauren to others.

couldn’t be happier with the care our pet received! Lauren was reliable, attentive, and genuinely cared about our [dog/hank]’s well-being. They provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our pet was happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved when we returned. It’s clear that lauren goes above and beyond—feeding was on time, the space was kept clean, and there was even some extra playtime and cuddles.also got some homemade treats that our dog loves this was also last minute booking you also get quick response from Lauren!! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!
