Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Lauren and I'd love to bring your pup home all tuckered out! I had childhood dogs and three dogs of my own, but currently am mom to one very hyper malamute mix! I have taken the time to research many different dog handling techniques and I have no doubt that I can and will handle your pup with he utmost care, patience and professionalism. In addition to my self-taught training skills, I have taken part in many obedience classes and have recently signed Bodhi up for his first nose work class! As a person, I am super high energy and able to keep up with just about any puppy or dog, not to mention willing to take the extra time and effort to give your best friend exactly what they need to be happy, healthy tail waggers!
Reviews
I've hesitated to submit this review, but feel it necessary so that Rover has this information. We were very impressed with meeting Lauren -- she took notes about our dogs and seemed to care about them. She stayed with them for a week while we were in Colorado. We have a camera in our family room and every time we looked to see the dogs, they were nowhere to be found, and neither was she. So my husband would call and ask where the dogs were and how they were doing and she'd say she'd gone to bed early, or she was doing yoga on the deck, or make some excuse about where they were. Their crates were in the family room and we heard no crying, so have no idea where our dogs were -- or where she was during the day. We also had crates in an upstairs bedroom so she may have put them up there so as not to listen to their crying about being crated all day while she was God knows where. She sent us a photo of them only twice during the entire week. When we got home, I discovered a pile of feces in my office that had been there for awhile. The dogs were not allowed in there without supervision, so she clearly did not keep good track of them or followed our rules -- and why was she in my office in the first place when the instructions were to keep the door closed? Because of this, we can't trust that any of your sitters will take good care of our dogs, so we won't be using Rover again. We're very disappointed because we'd rather leave our dogs in their own home instead of a kennel.
Lauren was great! She started off with a meet and greet, and came with all the right questions to ask to prepare herself for her stay. Once at our house, she was a great guest and left the place better than when she arrived. In terms of our puppy, she was took her on walks, play dates, snuggled - all the important stuff. :) To top it off she was very good about sending photos multiple times a day to update us on our puppy's adventures. We will definitely welcome her back in the future.
I cannot say enough good things about Lauren. We met at our house for a meet and greet and we instantly knew she was the perfect match. She asked questions and even took notes, which proved to us that she was serious about taking care of Kodo. She watched our Aussie at our house for a week, and we were at ease the entire time. She sent daily texts/pictures and did an excellent job at keeping us updated. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless house. We especially appreciated the letter she left behind letting us know how the stay went. She even left us cookies! Lauren, we cannot thank you enough! We will definitely be contacting Lauren for our future sitter needs :)
We have had Lauren watch our two girls twice...she has done an excellent job not only taking great care of our dogs but also our home. She is very reliable and responsible and we would recommend her highly!
