Hi! I'm Lauren, a San Francisco native currently living in the Boston area while attending Wellesley College. As a lifelong dog owner and animal lover, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Whether your dog loves long walks, outdoor adventures, or simply a consistent and caring companion, I'm committed to providing attentive, reliable care and plenty of tail wags along the way. I currently share my life with two very different pups: Jasper, my energetic 3-year-old Shiba Inu, and Bella, my senior Chihuahua, whom I've cared for since I was 12 years old. Caring for both has given me experience with a wide range of needs, from active walks, playtime, and enrichment to the extra patience, attention, and routine that senior dogs often require. I'm an active, dependable person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals, whether that's exploring a local trail, playing in the yard, or providing calm companionship at home. Over the years, I've also dog sat for friends and family, caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. One thing that's especially important to me is communication. I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else's care, so I make it a priority to provide updates, photos, and peace of mind while you're away. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you confidence that they're receiving the best possible care.
