Safety, trust & environment

I have a friendly medium sized dog that your fur baby can play with! I would provide walks, runs, car drives, pup cups, and even going to pet smart if you need to pick up some things for our 4 legged friends.

Information Lauren G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, routines, or behaviors I should be aware of. I like working with friendly, well socialized dogs who enjoy playtime and walks. But I do understand how dogs can have some quirks, just let me know what they are and how you deal with them so I can provide a safe environment for everyone!

A typical day

I love keeping dogs active and happy! I like to start with walks, maybe play some games like fetch or tug-of-war, and enjoy plenty of cuddle and scratch time. I also like exploring parks and letting them sniff around to stay mentally stimulated.

My name is Lauren!

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of dogs since I could remember, I’ve had dogs my entire life and have one currently! I’ve worked at 2 doggy daycare/ boarding facilities for years as well. Ive been trained in dog warning signs, and facts about almost every dog breed. I have worked with un trained dogs, well behaved obedient dogs, scared dogs, you name it, I’m prepared for anything!

Appreciate Lauren taking great care and being very responsive. She followed up within 10 minutes to every inquiry. Definitely will rely on her again.

Lauren is one of the best pet owners I know! She has a dog who she has trained completely on her own and brings to daycare regularly. She cared for my dogs when I was out of town and did an exceptional job. She walked them multiple times a day and made sure they had food and water, and played with them nonstop. When I got home, they were happy and exhausted! She’s loving, responsible, and truly cares for every animal she meets.

I highly recommend Lauren as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. She is patient, attentive, and genuinely cares for every animal she meets. Lauren goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and well-loved, whether she’s out on a walk or providing care at home. With her reliability and warm personality, I always have complete peace of mind knowing my pet is in great hands. Any pet would be lucky to have Lauren as their caregiver!
