Reviews

Lauren did a great job caring for our pup while we went to the boardwalk. She was very communicative.
Lauren was great with my dog, Lincoln. Would definitely book again!


Lauren was wonderful with my cats! She stepped in on short notice and handled everything perfectly. Will definitely be using her again in the future, highly recommend!




All my pets looked cared for. Very dependable. Thank you Lauren
About Lauren J.

Safety, trust & environment
DOGS: If hosting at my place, I have a very secure fenced balcony for sun loving dogs to hang out on, but no yard. I leave the door open in nice weather, so they can come inside or hang outside. Dogs get walked twice a day unless otherwise arranged. They aren't allowed on furniture or the bed...though I sometimes make an exception for a morning snuggle. I live by the beach, so we often go there. My (male) partner lives with me, which I mention in case that's a problem for your pet! CATS: Cats are kept indoors full time, unless you want them to get some leashed outdoor time. They are allowed anywhere around the house — cats are their own bosses :) If we stay at your place, we follow your rules and routines!
Home
Information Lauren J. would like to know about your pet
Let me know what your pet needs! For overnights or recurring walks, I only take on trained or semi-trained / mostly well-behaved dogs (or any cats). I have experience with dogs at all levels, but if we're going to spend a lot of time together, I want to enjoy it! I am happy to accommodate shy dogs and dogs that don't like other dogs, but if they are not leashed trained, it's not a good match. I love to walk active/youthful dogs so we can share in getting some exercise, but I also have experience with older pets who just want to hang out and move more slowly. I don't have a yard, but am an active person who will make sure your pet gets the exercise they need!
A typical day
We love going to the beach, walking around the harbor, playing at the park, and sun bathing at home. We usually start the day with a walk near the water :)
