Pet care is a central part of my daily life! I work from home, which allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just cuddles on the couch, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.

Information Lauren G. would like to know about your pet

To give your dog the best care possible, I like to learn a few key things ahead of time. Every pup is unique, and knowing the following helps me create a safe, fun, and stress-free experience: • Daily Routine: Feeding times, walk schedules, bathroom habits, and any specific routines or commands they’re used to. • Temperament & Behavior: Are they shy, high-energy, protective, or prone to separation anxiety? Do they get along with other dogs or prefer solo time? • Health & Medical Needs: Any allergies, medications, or medical conditions I should know about? • Triggers or Fears: Loud noises, bikes, skateboards, certain people or animals—anything that might make them anxious or reactive. • Training Cues & Rules: What commands do they know? Are they allowed on furniture? Any behaviors you’re currently working on? • Emergency Contact Info: Your preferred vet, emergency contact, and how best to reach you during care. The more I know, the better I can care for your dog like they’re part of my own pack!

A typical day

When your dog is with me, it’s more than just walks and potty breaks—it’s playtime, enrichment, and fun! I tailor each activity to your dog’s energy level, personality, and preferences. Here are just a few of the ways I keep pups engaged and wagging their tails: • Adventure Walks: Whether it’s a stroll through the neighborhood or a nature walk in a nearby park, I make sure walks are full of fresh air, new smells, and a good dose of exercise. • Playtime Galore: From fetch and tug-of-war to their favorite squeaky toy, I keep dogs mentally and physically stimulated with safe, supervised play sessions.

Lauren is beyond amazing. She really saved the day in many ways and is so easy going. I had a nightmare situation with another sitter while I was out of the country in an area with major phone issue. She graciously accepted Lemon immediately, got her food as the nightmare sitter didn't pass along her bag of food or her brand new $60 orthopedic bed. She sent pictures of Lemon and I could see the happiness. Lauren really saved me when I wasn't able to do anything because of being out of the country in a remote area. Lemon was so happy when I picked her up, she didn't even notice me standing right there, lol. She's a happy girl. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give Lauren a 100!!! I highly recommend her. Lemon will definitely be going back!!!

My pug LOVES spending time at Lauren and Ben’s house playing with all the dogs or just lounging on the floor. When we arrive, he tugs hard on his leash to get inside. It’s wonderful to know that when he’s away from home, he’s safe and happy in their care.
