Responsible Friend and Caretaker!

Pet care experience

A little bit about me: *I work full time, 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday. I have lived my entire life surrounded by different types of dogs; anywhere from a Doberman to a Labradoodle. I have yet to meet a dog who did not enjoy my company, and I always enjoy theirs. I was a member of the Doberman Rescue League in New Hampshire when I lived in Massachusetts. I rescued my Labradoodle, Abby, a little over 10 years ago. She was neglected when we found her at 7 months old, but she recovered quickly and currently behaves more like a human than a dog. Recently, my dog moved in with my parents and I found myself searching for that companionship. This is when I decided that I could become a sitter and help people who didn't want to leave their dogs in an unfamiliar shelter while they were away. I have seen how scared dogs can be locked up away from their family, but I'd like to change that and take care of them as if they were my own family. I believe that each dog/cat has a different personality. They should be taken care of with love and affection according to their own preference. I look forward to meeting your dog and would love for them to choose me as their friend and care taker. I am currently only doing travel stays in your home, but I would also love to take your pups on a walk, to the park, on a hike, or where ever they want to go as I live a very active lifestyle. I am completely comfortable with oral medication or eye/ear drops. I am only able to administer injections if I am shown exactly how it should be done. I hope to hear from you soon, and I am excited to meet your family!

Absolutely the best sitter for your family friend. We will never board again. Lauren is trustworthy while we are away, our doggie had a blast, playing ball, walking and just like a family member Lauren came to take care of her while we out of town. I cant emphasize enough, keep you furry best friend home and away from places that have poor reputations. We will never go anywhere else, and the little extras she did for us while we were away made it clear that Lauren made all of us at peace, and that is priceless while your away from home. 5 stars and then some.

Information Lauren F. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed preferences nor any age preferences. I enjoy the company of all dogs (and any animals in general). I would like to know about their usual habits and what their favorite toy is. I'd need to know how active they are, when they eat, how they communicate, etc. All those are things we can discuss upon the "Meet and Greet".

A typical day

I love to walk, run, and hike with any/all dogs. Dog parks are great, as long as your dog is comfortable there. Otherwise, playing inside or in the yard with toys is the best/safest alternative.
