professional dog petter♡

Hi pet owners! I am available for dog walking / drop in visits weekday evenings and all day on Saturdays & Sundays. Previously I was an employee at Pet Supplies Plus and I also worked for a dog groomer, bathing and grooming dogs. I was also an employee at animal hospital working as a CSR. Currently, I am employed at The Seeing Eye, where I have been working since 2021. Aside from my jobs, I have a great amount of experience with animals as I was a student at the NJ Dog Grooming Academy and I was a volunteer at St. Huberts Animal Shelter, where I mainly focused my time on cats to gain more experience with them. I was also a volunteer at Friends of Linden Animal Shelter as well. I have such a huge amount of love for all animals and I will treat each and every one of yours as if he/she were my own. I absolutely love being surrounded by animals and it helps me gain more & more experience every time I meet a new pup. Animals bring so much joy to my life and I am just trying to give them that same joy by providing walks, belly rubs, or whatever kind of affection your animals prefer. I promise your fur babies will love me just as much as I’ll love them!

Dog Walking • Nov 24, 2025

We needed a sitter and walker for our dog last minute and Lauren was extremely flexible and willing to help out! She communicated very quickly and was very helpful, I highly recommend her services!

Lauren has been a great Walker for our dog. She is very reliable and has been a great help with keeping our dog walked and exercised during the day. Highly recommend Lauren.

Drop-In Visits • Jan 02, 2020

Lauren was professional, punctual, and very trust-worthy. She was great with my foster kitty, Frankie, and I would definitely hire her again if we are away!

Lauren is great w/Bogart and Roxanne! They have very unique, different personalities & demeanors from one day to the other. Not to mention the 10 year difference makes it difficult to balance one furru baby's needs to the other simultaneously. Lauren studied Roxanne's & Bogoart's behavior(s) on their first few visits & Roxie & Bogie told me she's a keeper! They now seem to truly look forward to her visits!

I am so grateful to have had Lauren come and spend time with my pup over the past month. Lauren was very patient with Sally and did not hesitate to give her tons of love. I appreciate Lauren’s flexibility with her scheduling, her honesty and communication and the fact that she was always there for Sally at the exact time she said she would be.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I always require meet and greets before I sit and or walk your dog just to be sure your pup and I have the best experience possible!

A typical day

We’ll play tug of war and fetch, go on exciting long walks and your pup will be getting lots of belly rubs (and treats too! :))

I would like to know about any behavioral issues or medical issues your dog may have. I also have a whole list of questions I ask every dog owner during our “meet & great” just to make sure each walk with your pup goes smoothly for both me and more importantly, them. And of course, I would like to know anything that you think is important for me to know.
