Pet care experience
Id love to care for your fur-child!
Hi there! My name is Lauren, and I'd love the chance to care for your baby. I've been working with dogs professionally for almost 3 years now and I'm often updating my knowledge about dog care through this job. I have a selection of community toys, treat toys, treats, bowls, etc. and even extra crates so you don't have to worry about forgetting anything! I am very good at reading dogs' social cues and that has helped me tremendously with making pups as comfortable as they can be here. I am currently enrolled in 3 classes this semester that are completely remote and so I am a full time sitter and am almost always at home! I have a fenced in yard and deck, lots of photos and videos to be captured and sent, and lots of love to give. As for my personality, I'm very agreeable and honest, I love photography, movies, motorcycles and the outdoors. During meet and greets and throughout your pups' stay, I can match your communication style, from thoughtful conversations and stories to just quick updates and chats. Although, I may come off as shy initially 😅 NOTE: Please read my disclaimers at the bottom before requesting! I have around 3 years of experience working on other pet caregiver apps. This has allowed me to gain experience working with all types breeds and personalities. I am well versed with puppy/dog training and can accommodate any special commands or needs your pet might have, including using an e-collar. I am certified to give medicine to any dogs that may need it. I have also worked with horses most of my life, and became a horse trainer who taught kids' lessons! I will admit, senior dogs are my favorite to care for, they hold a special place in my heart! I love giving them the extra care and love they may need.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Lauren was great to communicate with and sent frequent pictures of my kitties staying with her. She kept on top of the meds for one kitty and worked so hard to make my shy kitty as comfortable as possible. Her level of care definitely helped me feel better about having to leave them both.
Odi always has an amazing time with Lauren. She has tons of animal experience and can be super accommodating if plans have to change. Most importantly, I always know Odi will be safe and happy when we drop him off.
Lolli is totally at home with Lauren. She gets excited when she knows where we are headed. Happy dog, lots of pics and super communicative!
Another great stay with Lauren!
Lauren is the best! She was so patient with Lolli, who is working through some separation anxiety. We knew it was a good match when Lolli was happy to go back again! Lauren sent lots of pics and updates for us. A great dog watcher!
Lauren is so awesome. She was totally unfazed by our slightly clingy and very expressive lab. Lolli had a great time hanging out and came home happy!

Schedule
I can stay home all day if needed, and have a fairly flexible schedule at the moment. I live in a small home with my boyfriend, we don't have any pets of our own, unfortunately, but that works out for any situation where your prefer your baby to be the only one in the house! We have a fenced in yard and front deck that gets lots of use. I enjoy hiking/camping trips so if that's something your pups' enjoy, I'd love to take them for an adventure! (:
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
As mentioned before, our home has a fenced in yard as well as a deck outside our front door that is also fenced in. The fence is about as high as it can be without a permit in Denver. ~4 ft. at lowest due to the added deck and around 6ft at the highest point. I have a doggy door on my front door that your pup can use, if they know how to, to let themselves out. I will follow them outside but it allows them to initiate when they'd like to go outside without having my front door open! We're a 15 minute walk to Washington park with plenty of nice walking spots within the neighborhood. I love hearing special quirks or needs your furry friend may have and am quick to help out and accommodate as much as I can. I also have an area in my home to set up with a kennel, bed, or any toys your pet may bring with them.
A typical day
I pay attention to your pet's needs and wants, I understand each one is different! Keeping that in mind, I try to stimulate dogs that have high energy and need different types of enrichment by letting them take in lots of new smells, offering puzzle toys, longer walks, as well as taking it easy with older dogs if needed. I always keep stock of enrichment toys, regular toys, and single ingredient treats for any pups staying with me!
