Information Lauren H. would like to know about your pet

I would love to meet your pet before I become their caretaker! I’m happy to come to your home, although I find it helpful for pups to come to my home before their first stay. I want you both to feel comfortable with the new environment. It affords the perfect opportunity to go over feeding and medication schedules. And it’s a great way for me to learn what your pet loves so I may provide the best care.

A typical day

My boarders have a morning potty break by 7am followed by breakfast. Outdoor playtime occurs between 10am and 2pm. Afternoon mealtime is flexible to accommodate your dog’s schedule. Evening playtime occurs after the humans eat dinner. We especially love to play fetch.

Pet care experience

Meet your new pet sitter in Upper Arlington. Thanks to my work-from-home career, pet care is my daily joy. Whether in your home or mine, I’m looking forward to caring for your pet. My home’s layout is naturally divided into sections that create the cat side and the dog side. The dog side includes a doggy door to my expansive back yard for daytime access. The cat side boasts two cat trees, a bay window, and a bird feeder. My dog is a 4-year-old black lab, fully vetted and vaccinated. She is quiet, friendly, and playful. Because my spouse is a certified canine handler, our pup is well trained. She was crate-trained originally, but now sleeps on our family room sofa where your dog is also welcome. I have experience administering insulin to a senior dog for whom I care in the owner’s home. I also have experience caring for a cat with a feeding tube in my home. I am comfortable giving oral and injectable medicines to both cats and dogs.

Lauren was great! Libby felt right at home and settled in really quickly. The huge fenced in back yard was definitely a plus and libby loved hanging out back there. We really appreciated how communicative and responsive Lauren was and we will definitely be using her again in the future!

Lauren was impeccable!! She was able to accommodate my feline companion, on a last minute change of plans! It immediately took a lot of stress off my mind. She adored having him around, and was able to give him some space of his own. Ill definitely be contacting her again, when im in the area.

Lauren was an exceptional caregiver! Her whole family was great-my puppy was in great hands. Lauren sent many photos so I could keep up with their activities! My puppy has been worn out this week at home and I can tell she misses them. We would love to use them again and highly recommend!

Lauren was great with our senior dog Roman this weekend! We received thorough updates each visit and he got great walks. Lauren went above and beyond with care for him!
