Highlights
Pet care experience
Currently booking new clients!
I have owned dogs for 25 years and have been involved seriously in the show dog world for the last 15 years. I keep a pack of show Salukis at my house and have experience with several other breeds. I have significant hound and sighthound experience. I am a dedicated sitter and will only take one client at a time so I can focus on your dog! Have a puppy you need help with? I have successfully raised four litters with multiple AKC champions produced from it as well as many more wonderful companions. I will be happy to board puppies long term for house training, crate training, socialization, and leash training work as well as other basic manners. Please reach out with questions.

Safety, trust & environment
If my home I have secure fencing around the yard, but I only take sighthound clients in the home (please message me if that is you). Otherwise I will follow your directions as far as safety and care. I have flighty sighthounds and I fully understand keeping them safe!
Ratings and reviews
Lauren did a great job with her drop ins on my elderly cat! She was flexible with some date changes, always gave regular updates on her and made sure things were kept tidy. I highly recommend her.
Highly recommended for a drop-in visit! Lauren was able to stop by on short notice to let all 4 dogs out and feed them. She was really flexible and sent updates and photos.
Lauren did a wonderful job checking on our cats! And we paid her extra to water our garden and plants while we were gone too! She sent us pictures and updates daily! Would definitely recommend Lauren!
Lauren did a great job taking care of my 2 older dogs. She gave them meds, made sure my oldest one ate, and kept the diaper on him. She was reliable about coming to my house and staying overnight, and sent pics each day. I would definitely trust her to watch my dogs again!
Our princess Belle doesn't usually eat much while we are out of town. The first time Lauren stayed with her she ate liked normal the whole time! That is amazing & so relieving. She kept us updated daily & sent pictures.
I’ve used Lauren multiple times and she ha sheen great each time. Highly recommend

Schedule
I do not take new clients often, and for new clients I prefer to test weekend days. I work a schedule of 7am-3pm during the weekdays and as long as your dog fits within that schedule (and is reasonably located), I can accommodate re-bookings during the school year during the week.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsLauren can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
- I would like to know if the dog has any aggressive tendencies towards people or dogs, if the dog has any resource guarding problems, any medical conditions, and any quirks like fence jumping. If walks are required, please let me know if the dog is a puller or has any quirks because I can only accept up to about 60lbs if the dog will pull on a lead for their safety and mine! I can only accept up to around 65lbs for boarding/daycare visits for the safety of my own smaller dogs.
