About lauren f.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Every pet has a distinct personality, and I take the time to understand what makes them feel safe and happy. Some warm up quickly, while others need a slower, gentler approach — I always follow their lead. I maintain a calm, clean, and structured environment so pets feel secure and owners can relax knowing their home is respected and cared for.
Information lauren f. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any routines, sensitivities, medications, or quirks I should be aware of — I tailor my care to fit their needs perfectly. I’m comfortable with all breeds and temperaments, from active pups to senior pets, and always ensure their routine stays consistent and stress-free.
A typical day
A typical day includes a balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and calm companionship. We’ll go on neighborhood walks or visit local parks, play enrichment games, and take time to rest and cuddle. I make sure each pet’s routine matches what they’re used to at home, so they feel comfortable and content while you’re away.

Gentle, Reliable Care
Pet care experience
Animals have always been a central part of my life — I share my home with two bonded brothers, Hanz and Franz, and grew up surrounded by family dogs. Over the past 20 years, I’ve cared for both dogs and cats of every age and temperament, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. My approach is calm, consistent, and loving. I make sure each pet feels secure, comfortable, and well cared for while their humans are away. Whether it’s a long walk through the neighborhood, quiet playtime, or an overnight stay, I treat every pet and home with genuine respect and attention. As someone who loves daily walks and being outdoors, I bring patience, reliability, and joy to every visit.

Reviews
Lauren is beyond great with our high-energy Labradoodle. She is very communicative, sends us photos and videos. She is flexible and easy to work with. Lauren is a find!
Always taking such good care of my Kevin! Thank you for the photos and the updates. I really appreciate it!
Lauren is absolutely phenomenal. This was my first time leaving my almost two-year-old cat for an entire week, and in addition to contending with my own separation anxiety, I was also a bit nervous since my kitty has a sensitive tummy and follows a special diet. Lauren put me immediately at ease. She did a meet and greet ahead of time, read all my kitty care notes carefully and asked thoughtful questions, and during her stay in my home, she followed my cat’s routine to a T (including tooth brushing!). She kept me updated with daily photos, videos, and updates that made me smile and gave me complete peace of mind while I was halfway across the world. She is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and a true cat person who understands feline behavior and knows how to move at the cat’s pace to help them feel safe and comfortable. She gave my kitty so much playtime and sweetness and affection. I feel incredibly grateful to have found her. Thank you, Lauren!!
