Dogs are not pets, they are family!

Pet care experience

I have had a dog companion and have been a dog lover since I was 5 years old. In the busy hustle and bustle of today's high-paced society, I know the stress one can feel from the guilt of a busy schedule. I am passionate about giving dog moms and dads a little peace of mind knowing that they have someone to check in on their furry children, take them on walks, or stay with them overnight when needed. I have 15+ years experience as a dog companion, walker, sitter, and trainer. I have been a companion of and have worked with dogs ranging in size from tea cup to large breed. I've been the go to sitter/walker/check-in for all of my friends and family for years. I am a lover of all animals, I volunteer with local animal shelters, and used to spend countless hours chasing squirrels with my beloved dog (RIP Willow) at the local park (disclaimer: no squirrels were harmed in the writing of this bio). My schedule is flexible and allows for throughout-the-day care for furry children of all shapes and sizes. I am available to check-in and spend 30 minutes or more with your furry friend providing services such as a belly rubs, walks, brush-downs, games of catch, administering oral medication, bathroom breaks, etc. I am open to providing other services, on a case-by-case basis. I am also available for overnight stays at your home with your furry children. For overnights, I will provide a walk in the evening and in the morning, will give your woofie a brush-down, provide meals per their dietary schedule and food type, and will tuck them in with a bedtime story. I am open to snuggling and sharing a bed with your woofie if that is their normal routine (I know my own furry child loved to snuggle at night). If there are any particular parts of your pet's routine you would like followed or any additional services you would like to request, please let me know. I am passionate about the care and happiness of pets. To me, pets are family; they have their own unique personalities and they love us unconditionally. I am attentive, caring, experienced, and professional. Let's chat about how I can make your furry friend's day awesome!

Onyx seemed happy and well taken care of when I got home after this trip. Lauren has been super reliable and helpful to me as a dog sitter. It has been great to have someone that has made my leaving my dog a little easier.

Lauren was great! She sent me pictures and notes regularly and my dog looked very relaxed with her. She did everything I’d hoped and my house was just as I’d left it. Definitely will consider using Lauren again for my pet/house sitting needs!

Lauren took amazing care of our pups (Great Dane and Labrador) in our home, while we were away. She sent lots of updates and pictures throughout. Our house was immaculate when we arrived home which we always appreciate. We would definitely recommend Lauren and we will book her again for future trips :)

I am able to work from anywhere, which allows me to pick up on your pets routine where you leave off while you’re away or at work. Just let me know what their day-to-day schedule is and I’ll adapt to their routine and environment.

Information Lauren H. would like to know about your pet

When I meet a new furry friend, I like to find out: 1. What a normal day is like for them. 2. If they have any special dietary needs. 3. What is their favorite toy/ activity/ place? 4. What calms them down and makes them happy? 5. What, if anything, should they avoid (i.e., loud noises, certain places, etc.)? 6. Do they have any allergies/ injuries/ or health concerns that I should be aware of? 7. What are their little quirks that make them special?

A typical day

My furry friends and I love to go on walks in the park, visit the beach, play fetch, play brain games, visit other furry friends (when possible), and watch the sunset after a long fun day.
