I take my own dog outside at least 3 times a day, with 1 or 2 of those times being a 1-2 mile walk. I love taking him for walks as it's important for his brain to be stimulated and for the exercise! Every dog has a different eating schedule, but I am great with schedules and will stick to whatever they need. My own dog eats a mix of wet & dry food twice a day, with one Dentastix in the morning and one Beggin Strip if he poops. I also refresh his water bowl at least 3 times a day because still water sitting there after a few hours kind of freaks me out. I also don't mind giving dogs baths, sometimes you have to if there were certain adventures, but I typically bathe my own dog once every three weeks.

I live in a spacious 2-bedroom apartment, with my dog having a bed in each room! He is very spoiled, but he just takes naps very seriously. Dogs are allowed on our incredible couch, but don't worry it is vacuumed at least once a week (as well as the floors!).

Pet care experience

During college, I adopted my beloved dog, Dustin, from the SPCA. Over the past 11 years, caring for him has taught me responsibility, patience, empathy, and unconditional love. Through every stage of his life, I have developed a deep connection with animals and a strong commitment to their well-being. I understand that pets are family, and I take pride in providing them with the same attentive, compassionate care that I give my own. My love for animals motivates me to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have also been described as a super organized, neat freak - which I am very proud of. I take very good care of my personal space and possessions, because I believe in respecting a home and everything that is important to someone.

I have never seen a better pet caregiver than Lauren! I've watched her be an incredibly loving and responsible dog owner. She's cared for her own dog for the past 11 years and has provided a safe, happy, and nurturing home every single day. Lauren is patient, dependable, and truly attentive to each dog's individual needs. Animals naturally seem to trust her and she genuinely enjoys spending time with them. I would feel completely confident leaving my own pets in her care, knowing they would be treated like her own.

Lauren is a ray of sunshine. She brings positive energy and a smile everywhere she goes. I know her to be incredibly responsible, caring and a wonderful dog sitter. My dog, Ollie, weighs 60 pounds and can be a handful. Lauren has taken care of him fairly regularly and I have never had any issues or concerns.
