A house is not a home without a dog

Pet care experience

Hello! I am super excited to care for your adorable pups. Growing up my family fostered all different breeds, sizes, and ages of dogs through Last Hope. Every dog deserves a second chance. I did dog walking and dog sitting after college for a summer and loved it! I hope to continue with this to get myself and your dogs out of the house! I love taking them to do fun activities and of course, give as many belly rubs as possible! I adopted my own dog 6 years ago and it was the best decision ever. My dog has struggled with some reactive behaviors. I have had a behavior specialist come provide ways to work with these issues and currently have him and my other dog in 1:1 training sessions. I have learned many tips and tricks to work with aggressive dogs and am open to helping you with yours. By no means am I a professional, but I understand that reactive dogs are good dogs too and just want love in different ways 🙂 I have plenty of treats and toys for your pup to play with. I am very easy going and understand that’s dogs will be dogs. I understand accidents may happen and allow dogs on the furniture- if that’s is what you do in your home. Otherwise, I will follow what expectations you may have! Unfortunately, my older dog will not be here while your pup is staying here. He’s not too friendly with other dogs so he goes to stay with Grandpa. However, my puppy, Vinny, will be so I am only able to take dogs that are friendly with other dogs.

Lauren did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs. One of them is a reactive and potentially difficult little dog, but Lauren was able to have a positive relationship with her. She sent pictures, asked for clarification, and followed instructions. She is an excellent communicator. I appreciated knowing up front, so I could find a solution. She has a way with dogs and is knowledgeable about training techniques that were compatible with our dog behaviorist's suggestions.

Lauren is amazing!! She sent lots of photos and updates, was flexible on timing, and most importantly took such great care of our dog. We hadn’t left him with anyone before, so we were a bit hesitant, but she made it so easy and stress free!

We had a great experience with Lauren! She was very good at communicating with while we were away, and was very clean while staying in our house! We look forward to having her watch our pupps again.

I live close to Hidden Falls in St. Paul so we like to walk down there and go swimming on a nice day! Many walks around the neighborhood. We love to go outside and play fetch. Going to dog parks, puppy play dates, and much more!
