10+ yrs in behaviorally focused car

Pet care experience

I am an Austin-grown doggy lifestyle coach! In addition to daycare and boarding services, I have worked as a Behavior Consultant and Trainer for 10 years. I worked as a kennel technician, kennel manager and trainer to the trainers for a behaviorally focused doggie daycare, boarding and training facility in Austin. I am able to do everything from daily insulin injections for furry clients to socializing the under-socialized. My job is to enrich the lives of people's pets! I love dogs of all shapes and sizes from your fearless chihuahua to your big, goofy mastiff! Because I am a trainer with years of handling experience, I am able to care for your most complex canine. From stranger danger to leash-reactivity, I do it all with a positive approach and a gentle touch. I am able to teach as well as reinforce heel and am, if needed, able to work on your dog's leash-reactivity as well as teach other polite behaviors. Feel free to contact me for details and I can't wait to meet your furry family!!

First time using a sitter for our babies. Lauren came over for a meet and greet ahead of time and took the time to really understand each of them and learn thier routines. While gone Lauren sent updates and pics for us, really helped me feel confident and comfortable. Would use again.

Lauren is simply the BEST!! Larry came down with an ear infection on the first day of her stay and she did not hesitate to sit at the vet on a Saturday morning to make sure he was taken care of. It meant a lot to us that she was aware that something was wrong and didn't ignore any signs of discomfort and she made it so easy for us to trust her with his care. She put our minds at ease and you can tell she truly loves dogs!! She is the best dog photographer and always goes above and beyond! We came home to a tired, spoiled pup and there is nothing better than that! I can't recommend Lauren enough!

Information Lauren J. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog cautious with new or unfamiliar people? Is he or she comfortable seeing other dogs when on-leash? Are their any special items your dog will guard? Does your dog have a history of seizures?

A typical day

I like taking my sitting clients to various parks in their neighborhood and for trips to the pet stores to scope out toys and pick out a treat for themselves, when possible. Not many pups can resist feeling the wind in their fur or a tasty treat. And, lets face it when you go out of town, it can be a bit stressful for a pup. The more unique and interesting their time with me is, the happier they will be while you're away. For walkers, I like to spend the first several walks building a relationship with your dog and get to know them first so walks around the neighborhood are where we start. As our relationship grows, I try to figure out what your dog loves most and find a way to create mini-adventures. Some dogs like to fetch, some enjoy pointing at squirrels, some just want to snuffle the grass and enjoy the sun against their faces. My goal is to create a unique experience for your dog that stimulates them physically and mentally.
