Pawsitively Happy :)

Pet care experience

Choose me to care for your baby(s) and be rest assured they are in the best of hands I do this full time while I complete dog training program and am very flexible with my availability so dont hesitate to send me a message to talk or send me a booking request. I have a 6 year old Border Collie Mix and a 1 year old Australian Shepherd Cattle Dog Mix. Ive raised and trained them from puppyhood always using positive reinforcement and they are happy and full of great energy. I go for walks 2-3 times a day for at least 30 mins to an hour since my dogs are high energy breeds. I also take them for long hikes through off-leash trails and open fields for fetch. Their fav :) I do not leave food out for them for a few reasons but mainly it's a good way to tell if your dog isn't feeling well. It's harder to tell with a dog that grazes all day.. They are both fed twice a day 6-7am & 5-6pm I'll always respect the way you would like your dog to be handled. I would never give an opinion unless asked or if it was for the safety of the animal.

Lauren takes great care of my Old English Bulldog Chaucer. From the first visit you could tell that Lauren has a lot of experience caring for dogs and Chaucer and Lauren got along right away. During the visits, Lauren understands Chaucer’s needs and brings him out for quick walks when it’s too hot (he could easily overheat) or when it rains (which Chaucer hates). Lauren will continue to be my first choice when I am looking for a walker/sitter because I know that Chaucer will be in good hands. Thanks, Ryan and Chaucer

Lauren is the absolute best! She dog-sat our pup for over a week and we felt completely at ease. She sent updates more than once every day and showered our dog with all the love. We even told her about how our dog hasn’t had much exposure with other dogs, and she offered to bring her dogs over for walks get get him familiarized with fur-friends. 10/10 recommend Lauren - besides being the ultimate go-to for pet-sitting/walks/etc., she’s also just so sweet and accommodating.

Lauren has walked my dogs 5 days a week for a few weeks now and has been fantastic!! Her attention to detail and professionalism have really stood out. I am in the dog business myself so I have very high standards. My dogs, like me, also have very high standards when it comes to humans and have really responded to her very positively. I would recommend her to anyone I know.

If your dog has a history of aggressive behavior/shown signs of aggression. Has bitten other dogs or people before as these dogs with high anxiety will just need some extra positive reinforcement :)
