Safety, trust & environment

I live in a townhouse with a dog, so I do not have room to board any pet, but I can stay over a client’s home if needed. I also will make multiple trips a day to and from the client’s home for walks, mealtimes, playtime, etc.

Information Lauren G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors to accommodate for. I have experience working with senior dogs and puppies. If I need to stay at a client’s house overnight, there will be an extra overnight fee.

A typical day

I love to make sure your dog is stimulated physically and mentally. I bring my dog on multiple walks a day. On cooler mornings, we go to a secluded dog park in my neighborhood where there is plenty of space to run around and play fetch! We also play games inside throughout the say and will do a 5 to 10 minute training session with treats.

Pet care experience

I have been pet sitting since I was a kid. I am regularly relied on by neighbors to watch their dogs and cats because of my love for animals. I have experience working with pets of all ages and administering medications.

Lauren has watched my dog Alfie more times than I can count, and he adores her - his tail starts wagging the second she walks through the door. She’s kind, patient, and dog-savvy. She has also watched a foster dog of mine in the past and was a pro at managing his big personality (he loved to bark on walks). Lauren is communicative and sends updates that put my mind at ease, especially if I'm travelling. She’s always my first choice whenever I need a sitter! Trustworthy, responsible, and Aflie's fave sitter.

I highly recommend Lauren as a pet sitter! She has a loving personality so whether your dog is skittish or very playful, Lauren meets the moment. She loves walking and playing fetch with my dog and spends time really paying attention to her. She is timely, very communicative and listens to directions. She will also ask questions to make sure she meets your needs. I especially love the photos that she sends me of my happy pup. She has no issue giving my pet medication and makes sure that my Josie is safe. Whether it's walking, snuggling or playing with your pet, Lauren is a wonderful, responsible pet sitter who you and your pet will love!

I am thrilled to recommend Lauren Goodman! She is kind, caring, responsible, smart and loves my kitties! She did everything I asked her to do and went above and beyond, taking out the garbage unasked , spending extra time and keeping them company so they wouldn’t be lonely. The place was clean and tidy, the toys were clearly played with. It was a great experience and I would ask her to pet sit anytime . She is also extremely punctual! If she says shes coming at 3pm shes there exactly on time! Shes an animal lover and a great caretaker.
