Reliable Care for Every Breed+Need

I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in exercise science. I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities — from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. My experience started at home, where I often helped my parents’ elderly dog up and down the stairs, making sure she was safe and comfortable every day. I’ve also stayed at my aunt’s house for a full week to watch her two dogs, giving them walks, playtime, and plenty of attention while their family was away. On top of that, I’ve helped friends with their new puppies, learning the patience and consistency it takes to care for a young dog as they grow and train. These experiences taught me how important it is to meet each dog’s unique needs — whether that’s extra energy for playtime, gentle support for mobility, or reliable companionship when their people are away. I bring a mix of compassion, responsibility, and genuine love for animals to every dog I care for.

Lauren was very easy to work with from our first conversation. She took notes and followed our instructions well. Lauren also sent updates through out her stay with Marlee, which I appreciate so much! I am happy to say we have found a house sitter for Marlee going forward when we go away. Our home was respected and taken care of. I would absolutely recommend Lauren if you are looking for a pleasant, responsible person to care for your pets!

We’re so grateful for the amazing care Lauren gave Waffle, while we were away. From the updates to the genuine love and attention she showed, we could tell Waffle was in wonderful hands. When we got home, Waffle was happy, calm, and even kept looking around for Lauren—a true sign she was well cared for and loved. We can’t thank Lauren enough and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

I wholeheartedly recommend Lauren as she has an incredible bond with animals and treats every dog with the love, attention, and care they deserve. I have seen firsthand how patient, responsible, and reliable she is, whether it is a high-energy dog needing a long walk or a shy dog needing gentle encouragement. Her passion for dogs shines through in everything she does, and I know any pet in her care will be happy, safe, and well cared for. She is more than just a dog walker; she is a trusted friend to both pets and their owners.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lauren is absolutely wonderful with my Hayley girl! She treats my girl like her own and goes above and beyond to make sure she’s happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether it’s daily walks or day/overnight sitting, I always feel completely at ease knowing Lauren is with her. She’s dependable, caring, and has such a natural way with animals—you can tell they instantly trust her. I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker and sitter!

Lauren is an amazing person. She is caring and kind. She helps out with my puppy all the time by taking her out and feeding her and giving her so much love. She’s such a helpful person and is hardworking.

I’m working a part time job so that gives me time to come care for your pups! Afternoons are the best for me right now, but that doesn’t mean i can’t come out to help in the mornings! I am also free all weekend!

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure to know the needs of each dog. When I walk them, make sure that the harness/leash is secure, are they friendly- make sure aware of surroundings. I love cuddles, pets, walks, fetch, & more! I will follow a schedule if your pup is on one! I will love them like they are my own🫶🏼

A typical day

I will do anything and everything to keep your pup happy! I love going on walks, carrides, playing fetch, and snuggles! Whatever your dog needs, I’m here to keep them happy (and you!)
