A Calm, Loving Home with Space to Roam and a Gentle Family Vibe I work freelance from home, so I’m able to provide near-constant companionship for your dog. At most, they may be left alone for up to two hours, but they’ll always be safe, cozy, and cared for. I live in a peaceful, pet-friendly home in Alliston with my young daughter (age 5), who is gentle, respectful, and used to being around animals. Your dog will be in a calm, nurturing environment that’s ideal for both active pups and more laid-back seniors. What to Expect in My Home: • Dogs are welcome to free-roam or be crated, whichever you prefer. I have a large, clean crate available. • Our daily routine includes outdoor time, affection, and enrichment. • I offer trail walks, backyard time, and lots of love and play. Your pet will be treated like family here, because that’s what they deserve.

Safe, Comfy & Dog-Approved Environment Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play and potty breaks. Inside, your pup can enjoy their own quiet space if they need downtime, or snuggle up on the couch or bed if they’re the cuddly type. I’m happy to follow your preferences. My home is kept clean, calm, and free from harsh scents or irritants,making it a gentle space for dogs with sensitivities or anxiety. I aim to create a peaceful, loving atmosphere where each pet can feel safe, relaxed, and right at home. A meet and greet is highly encouraged!!

What I Need to Know Before You Book – For Your Pet’s Safety To ensure your dog is safe, supported, and properly cared for, I need to know the following before your booking is confirmed: • Any pre-existing health conditions (even if they seem minor—breathing issues, joint problems, recent injuries, or chronic concerns) • Allergies, medications, or special dietary needs • Behavioral concerns like separation anxiety, reactivity toward other dogs or children, or resource guarding • Feeding, bathroom, and sleep routines so I can match your dog’s schedule as closely as possible This is non-negotiable. Total transparency is not about judgment, it’s about protection, preparation, and the best possible experience for your beloved pet. I’m flexible and compassionate, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your dog’s needs, but I need you to meet me halfway with clear, honest communication. Thank you for helping me create a safe space for every animal I care for.
Une journée type
A Typical Day in Our Care – Tailored to Your Dog’s Energy & Needs Mornings begin with a peaceful backyard potty break while I do a gentle 45-minute morning routine. Once my daughter is off to school, your dog and I head out for a 45–60 minute trail walk, perfect for sniffing, stretching, and soaking in some nature. During the day, we keep things relaxed at home while I work (I freelance from home and am almost always available for check-ins and cuddles). In the afternoon, we take a 10-minute walk to and from the bus stop, and then finish the day with a 30-minute evening walk. Your pup will enjoy consistent movement, attention, and time outdoors. We also have a fully fenced backyard for playtime, fetch, or sunbathing! Here’s how I adjust based on your dog’s needs: • Puppies: Extra potty breaks, structured play, basic routine support, and rest time built into the day. • Senior dogs: Shorter, slower walks and lots of cozy nap spots indoors with gentle check-ins and companionship. • High-energy breeds: Longer walks, backyard games like fetch or tug, and mental stimulation (enrichment toys, sniff breaks, etc.). Your dog’s comfort, rhythm, and happiness come first, and I’m always happy to follow your preferred schedule or special care instructions

**please take the time to read my ENTIRE profile before booking ** Hi, I’m Lauren – a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caretaker based in Alliston. I proudly serve surrounding areas including Beeton, Barrie, Cookstown, Rosemont, and everywhere in between. I drive a small SUV, so I’m happy to offer safe pet transport when needed! +Please ask about my extended stay discount. $45 per night for 14+ day stays. Services I Offer: • Dog walking • Doggy daycare • Pet boarding (in my home) • Drop-in visits • Backyard poop scooping From a young age, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter in my community, caring for everything from cats and dogs to snakes, birds, and small mammals. I have extensive experience with large-breed dogs and a calm, confident presence that helps even anxious pets feel at ease. I take the time to truly tune in to each animal’s unique needs, energy, and personality. Whether it’s playtime, a gentle walk, or cozy cuddles, your pet will get my full attention and care. Trail walks and outdoor play are part of our daily rhythm, so your dog will enjoy plenty of fresh air and exercise during their stay or visit. Bonus! I also offer backyard poop scooping, perfect for busy pet parents who need an extra hand. Let me help make your life a little easier, and your pet’s day a whole lot of fun. I can’t wait to meet your furry (or feathered or scaled!) family member. Please note: it’s imperative and non negotiable to be informed of any pre-existing health conditions.

Second booking with Lauren, Great experience super friendly sends lots of pics and keeps you updated Bandit had a blast hanging out with her and lulu
Lauren was kind enough to accommodate our last-minute request and took great care of Happy. We left him for about 4–5 hours and were even able to pick him up at midnight, thanks to her flexibility. We truly appreciate it, thank you so much!
Amazing through and through, will use again!! Went above and beyond in every way.
