Availability
I am a home worker so I am often out on walks and runs myself to break up the day, so it would be great to have a dog join me! My workload fluctuates without fixed working hours so I can be flexible on timings

Safety, trust & environment
I will of course follow any guidance or preferences from the owner. I will always bring the essentials for each dog and I’m happy to send photo updates and to walk in familiar areas for the dog if preferable. I will also be insured for dog walking before accepting my first client.

If your dog has tricky recall and / or isn’t regularly let off the lead please let me know. If they are wary of other dogs, or there’s anything else I should be aware of, please also let me know.
A typical day
I am often out hiking and running in the trails so I would love to bring a dog along with me. I’m happy to follow familiar routes for them or introduce them to new routes!

Experienced dog-sitter
Pet care experience
I’m Lauren, an outdoorsey freelance medical writer living in Somerset. I love hiking, running, exploring in the campervan with my partner Kevin, and of course dogs! I grew up with two springer spaniels so I have been a dog person as long as I can remember. A few months ago I returned from a campervan trip around Europe with my partner Kevin where we met lots of friendly dogs and cats (as can be seen in my photos!), which inspired us to start dog sitting here in Somerset. We have been dog and house sitting via TrustedHousesitters for a barbet and separately for three cockers spaniels (including a crazy 6-month old), doing repeat sits for both. We love dogs a lot and would love to get one of our own, but until the time is right for us, we thought that dog walking and sitting would be a great alternative for now. As a freelancer, my schedule is part-time and flexible - days filled with a mix of dog walking and writing would be perfect. Kevin works in person but may sometimes join the dog walks if they are in the evening. I grew up in Axbridge so I am familiar with walking routes around Somerset.
Reviews
Lauren is a thoughtful and caring person. I would trust her 100% with my home and pet. She sends lovely pictures of her cuddling my cat when she is cat sitting so we know she is happy. My cat also chose to sit next to Kevin, her partner, straight away which is very rare. She clearly trusts him instantly. They both love animals. I have visited her when she is house sitting for dogs and she is constantly thinking about their wellbeing and checking they are okay, more than most pet owners, because she understands it is a big responsibility caring for someone elses pet. They are also clean and tidy and polite not using anything without permission and just stay to the space allowed to them. I would thoroughly recommend her, she would always be my first choice for my Mushy.
