Pet care experience
Thanks for viewing my profile 😊 Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm happy to create a custom care schedule with you. Skills & Experience: 🧡Cared for family & friends' dogs for 15 years including daily walks, senior care, and behavior training. 🧡Currently own a 4 year old cat & a 1 year old puppy. 🧡Currently training to receive my certification as a Behavior Consultant (CBCC-KA) in the fall of 2024. 🧡Well versed in R+ (positive reinforcement) training & dog behavior. I'm passionate about force-free care and am unwilling to provide services under other circumstances (this means no shock/choke collars, no pain, threats, intimidation, or coercion tactics.) 🧡I work especially well with nervous pets. I have a gentle approach and a lot of patience :) I'm always willing to take the extra time for your pet to get to know me. 🧡Bring on your puppies/tiny alligators! I LOVE training puppies, socializing them, and helping you set them up for a wonderful life. I’ve cared for a wide variety of dogs throughout my life, and I strive to become attuned to each animal I care for. I’m truly happy to wipe your bulldog’s face folds, go on a long walk to get out that endless pitbull energy, play enrichment games with your cattle dog, or be willingly ignored by your cat!
Reviews
Lauren was excellent. She was very communicative and did an excellent job
Lauren did such an amazing job watching our senior pup. She kept us up to speed with picture updates and we came home to a very happy boy and a tidy home. We will definitely use her again if we are out of town.
Lauren is the absolute best! Would recommend her 100%. She took very good care of my cats and I can tell she genuinely cared for their well-being :)
Lauren took such good care of our two large dogs and cat. One of our dogs is very shy around new people and she warmed up quickly to Lauren and they became fast friends. Lauren was wonderful and sent me updates and pictures everyday of my fur babies. Would highly recommend her!

During your pet's service, I vow to always arrive on time, give your pet the best care possible, and keep you informed as much as you'd like. I’m happy to help around the house as well, and I'll always try to leave your house cleaner than I found it! I know how scary it can feel to leave your pet with someone else, so I want to do everything possible to ensure both you and your pet are comfortable :)
Information Lauren G. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any medical needs, dietary restrictions, behavioral issues, or anything else you think is important to know! Things like resource guarding, their behavior towards animals on walks, where they don't like to be pet, etc. are all great things for me to know in order to best prepare for my time with your pet :)
A typical day
I'm a huge believer in the power of meeting an animal's individual needs, so whether that means taking your dog to the park, on a long walk, practicing training, playing enrichment games, tug of war, fetch, lounging, or anything else, I'm up for it!

This is my main job, so I have a lot of flexibility throughout my week. As such, I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, house sitting, and dog walking services any time of the day or week! I only ask that you give me as much notice as possible for your booking, since my schedule fills up quickly.
