Pet care experience

Loving all the pets!

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.

Lauren took such great care of Rich! She was very kind, reliable, and kept me updated with photos throughout his stay. Rich seemed very comfortable and happy with her and her family. I really appreciate all the care and attention she gave him. Highly recommend!

Lauren was an exceptional provider of boarding for our 10-year-old dog who has separation anxiety and hasn’t had much experience staying with other people. We had a short meet-and-greet to make sure our dogs seemed compatible, and then I was very comfortable leaving Lou with her. She put me at ease with a picture right away and throughout his stay. It was easy to communicate with her about things that were happening or that she had questions about. I would definitely trust Lauren again for boarding and other services.

Schedule

I am a stay at home mom with three children, one dog and two cats. My family and I love dogs and cats and prioritize the care of pets in our daily routine. Pets will get two walks a day and additional time in our yard throughout the day. Breakfast & dinner is home made for our pets but we accommodate all diets for the dogs we are sitting.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard which provides my dogs plenty of room to run around. My family and I are home most of the day so each dog will receive plenty of attention including walks, potty breaks, meals and treats. I am comfortable administering medication. I also make my pet food from scratch.
