Highlights
Pet care experience
Home all day to play!
If you're looking for a fun, attentive, safe, loving environment where your pup feels right at home while you are away, then you've found your home away from home for your dog! I have taken care of several dogs over the past 30 years consistently. This has been the first time that I do not have my own pup. I am very much missing having a dog around, and I have several little helpers that also miss having their own pup and they are eager to love on yours! When we lost our pup of 18 years, we thought taking care of other dogs was the perfect way to get to love on pups still! Your dog will be treated like one of the family and get lots of attention while in our home. We have a fenced yard with a pool and a great neighborhood for walking. We are home full time, so your dog will get potty breaks/outside time as often as they want. We will take them on walks daily as well, as long as they are young and capable. I'm happy to give medications/treats. Our last pup was 18 when he passed, so we have great experience with puppies (as young as 2 months old) all the way to the senior and special needs pups. Play will be in abundance for your dog. They will get plenty of attention while they are here. If they are older and not exactly interested in playing much, that's great too! There will be plenty of snuggles and scratches to go around to keep your dog comfortable while staying with us! There's no lack of love to go around for your furry family member! We only take one dog at a time unless the same house has multiple dogs that have proven to get along with one another. We just want to be sure the environment is great for your dog and not mix two pups that don't get along. Since we do have young kiddos in the home, if your dog has issues with aggression towards people or hasn't had much exposure to children, please consider this when choosing us. We want your dog to feel comfortable. We will kennel or put your dog in the laundry room with a blanket/water while we are away for their safety. We have a kennel we can use if you do not have your own that you prefer. We will make sure they are comfortable, cozy, cool/warm given the season, so they feel comfortable if we are away. Again, we are home full time, so it would only be for a short while if we have to run out during the day. If your pup has any toys they love, we can ensure those are in their kennel or laundry room so they feel safe and comfortable if we are away at all. At night, most pups want to be with my kiddos upstairs in their room, but we are happy to accommodate however is best suited for your dog individually. I'll send pictures and updates throughout your pups stay so you can see the fun they are having while in our home! We're excited to love on your pup!

Ratings and reviews
Lauren took wonderful care of Poppy! She sent us daily photos and updates to let us know Poppy was doing great, going on lots of walks, playing with her kids, and being loved on. Lauren is very experienced with dogs, very friendly, and super responsive. We would definitely book with Lauren again!
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!! Lauren and her family were amazing with our 5 month old puppy. They sent daily updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind and let us see how much fun she was having. It was clear from every update that our puppy was happy, loved, and well cared for. She got plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, and we could tell she felt right at home. We are so grateful for the care they provided and we’ve already scheduled them to watch our puppy again soon. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and attentive pet sitters!
Lauren and her family were great with Buddy. I could tell he was well cared for. Thank you!
Lauren was great with our pup! She was responsive and sent pictures throughout his stay! Would def recommend and will be booking again with her!
Lauren and her family took care of our elderly min pin for a month. Communication was great and we received regular updates and pictures. Our dog was returned to us happy and healthy, and also freshly groomed. I would recommend Lauren to anyone and plan to book with her again for future pet stays. Thanks Lauren!
Lauren made us feel comfortable from the minute we met her at the meet and greet. We knew right away that she knew what she was doing and that our pet would be in good hands. She sent daily updates with pictures, which gave us the peace of mind that he was doing well and having fun. We will definitely use her again and recommend her highly.

Schedule
I'm home with my littles all week/ weekend, so we have plenty of time to play, entertain, and love on your fur baby. We are never gone for extended periods of time, and if we know we are going to be (we would know in advance), and I would block those dates off from the calendar. This way you know when you book, we will be there with your dog the majority of the time, only leaving for short periods of time here and there.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and we live in a neighborhood with lots of trails/parks, so we'll have plenty to offer your dog lots of exercise and outdoor play time, if that's their thing. If not, we can snuggle and play indoors while letting them out for supervised potty breaks in our backyard. We kennel or place them in the laundry room with a blanket/water if we are away from the home for their safety and comfort. We can provide treats/medications, as needed/wanted by you. I'll provide pictures as well, so you can see the fun your dog is having!
Pets
A typical day
