Central Park North Dog Care!
Pet care experience
My name is Lauren and I'm a long time dog owner and lover. I grew up on a farm and have owned dogs for most of my life. I have experience in simple training, socialization, play time, and love for every breed and mix of dog there is. I'm without a question a dog person and I hope to make your pup feel comfortable while you're away! I have experience both with dogs and house sitting. If you invite me into your home you can rest assured that both your place and your dog are well taken care of. I've lived with or cared for dogs my whole life. I've trained my own dogs and I've assisted in training dogs to be certified in visiting the elderly. Why I love dog sitting: I've grown up with a variety of breeds of dogs and have not met a dog I did not like. My first dog was a Golden Retriever who taught me patience and love from the time I came home from the hospital. Ever since I will ask to pet any dog I come across. My experience administering medication: I am and have done so before.
Reviews
Every time I have seen Lauren with an animal, she has been incredibly attentive and playful. She takes care of her pets, has come from a family of myriad pets (indoor and outdoor as well as farm animals), and is very respectful of other people's pets, and it shows. She is incredibly patient and understanding and a definite animal lover, as can be seen by her knowledge of animal care for many different types of pets, careful attention to their temperaments, and always making sure they are okay.
I have been close friends with Lauren for over ten years, and have known her throughout high school, college, and now graduate school. I can attest to the fact that she is a caring, compassionate, and friendly woman who is trustworthy and responsible. She grew up with both farm animals and indoor pets, including several dogs, and absolutely adores animals of all kinds. She is knowledgeable in their care and safe-keeping, and can get even the shyest animals to love her. Case in point, my dog is generally very skittish around many people, but he loves Lauren, and she is wonderful with him. She also has experience with cats, birds, small rodents such as guinea pigs and hedgehogs, fish, and reptiles.

Information Lauren G. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if the dog needs any special care, what their favorite game is, and if they like to socialize. It's important to know if they're another dog kind of dog when I take them on walks.
