Pet care experience
Growing up with and sitting for lazy dogs, anxious dogs, barky dogs, and wild dogs (but not wolves) means I'm pretty prepped to handle any personality (caninality?), and lately I've really come to embrace the weirdness, the enthusiasm, the grumpiness, and the overall individuality of every pup. I've been looking after dogs for friends and neighbors since I was young, and love spending time with them even more now that I have dogs of my own who have shown me how individual and quirky and amazingly uplifting they can be. My most recent dogsitting experiences have been with dogwalking and housesitting, with breeds ranging from miniature schnauzers to golden and lab mixes. My dog Annie is a very good canine ambassador of your pup needs company on their walks!
Reviews
Rebooked with Lauren! She’s so amazing with my cat, Meekhas. Let’s your pet come to her when they’re ready. Lauren is also reliable and communicative as a sitter! Highly recommend.
Lauren is a reliable, caring, and considerate pet sitter. She visited my home every other day to check on my cat while I was away for 2 weeks. During our meet-and-greet session, she was so patient with my cat when I first introduced them, letting my cat approach her first during the intros. Lauren is a natural with animals! And she always sent pictures during her visits, which I really appreciated. I’ll be coming back to Lauren for my future pet-sitting needs!
Lauren did an excellent job!
My pup loved Lauren the minute she met her, and that is high praise coming from a Border Collie mix who is protective of her mom! Lauren responds quickly to messages and was very flexible when my schedule got upended at the last minute! Highly recommended. :)

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I adjust my engagement depending on what your pet needs. I’ve watched dogs who wanted 6+ hours of activity per day, dogs who only want snuggles, and, once, a dog who’d had a traumatic experience with a skunk and just needed to sleep.
Information Lauren H. would like to know about your pet
I have experience sitting dogs and cats who need special care, be it issues walking, oral medication, anxiety troubles, or otherwise. I strive to make your baby as comfortable as possible!
A typical day
I love taking dogs on walks, be it around their own neighborhood or on an adventure somewhere they love. I have 2 dogs with very opposite personalities so I’m familiar with juggling energy levels.

Availability
I love dogs and cats and truly enjoy getting to know every critter I work with (or, I guess, for?). It’s my belief that pets should be treated like royalty, and their care will always come first in my day.
