Pet care experience

I remember the day when my family welcomed our first dog, a German Shepherd puppy and I was 4 years old. I have grown up around dogs and currently have one! I feel comfortable with all breeds and size of dog. I have been around the shy and nervous dog to the energetic out-going dog (my current dog is a mix of both)! I can feed, walk, provide medications and be a friendly, calm and loving presence for your dog.

Kind, trustworthy, animal-loving family. Clean, inviting home, fenced in yard. Friendly dog buddy to play with. Massive set of windows facing the street so the animals like to relax on the comfy beds and look out. Many updates and photos sent. Highly recommend.

Love Lauren and her family! She is so good at sending daily photo updates and letting us know what is happening right away. I trust her with my pup 100% and will continue to ask her to take care of him in the future!

Lauren was awesome and her family was all so loving towards Buck. He was so happy I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come home! Highly recommend and am so glad to have a trustworthy resource to watch Buck when I’m away.
