Information Lauren F. would like to know about your pet

It's important that I know of any fears or challenges your dog experiences. Are they reactive and with whom, should I offer treats or a toy when they need a distraction, what are their favorite activities?

A typical day

Some fun activities are scent-led walks, playing fetch or tug of war with a favorite toy, and of course, lots of snuggles. Every pet is different so I will tailor activities to their preference.

Peace of Mind for Your Fur Family

Pet care experience

I am an avid animal lover raised on a small farm with experience owning/caring for dogs, cats, horses, ferrets, bunnies, and chickens. When I came to UF for college, I missed my furry friends and turned to fostering and pet sitting. I have fostered more than 100 felines aged 1 day-10 years and 25 pups aged 4 weeks-14 years. I have experience managing health conditions such as upper respiratory infections, deafness, blindness, arthritis, diabetes, and cancer. Allow me to provide safe and loving care for your beloved baby. <3

My dog loved her stay at Lauren’s and I really appreciate how she was so flexible and took her in on short notice when my work schedule was demanding. Would highly recommend!!

Tilly had a wonderful weekend stay with Lauren! The minute I met her she was warm, and willing to accommodate Tilly‘s needs knowing she’s a cuddle bug and loves one on one time. I was able to communicate with her throughout Tilly’s stay with her and I loved receiving updates and pictures daily. I would highly recommend using Lauren services, and I look forward having her stay with her again!
