Highlights
Pet care experience
Taking care of your pets as my own
My love for dogs began at a young age, and throughout my life I have naturally taken on the responsibility of caring for them. From daily walks and feeding to grooming, hydration, and training, caring for dogs has always been something I genuinely enjoy. For many years, friends, family, and neighbours have trusted me to care for their pets while they are away, giving me valuable hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I have a natural ability to build strong relationships with dogs and often incorporate training into my interactions, including heel work, recall, leash manners, and fun tricks that help strengthen the bond between dogs and their owners. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate, and professional care that gives pet owners peace of mind. I am available Monday through Friday for dog walking services, as well as 2–3 drop-in visits between 5:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. each weekday.

Safety, trust & environment
To ensure the comfort and well-being of my own three cats, I do not offer boarding services for dogs or cats in my home. Instead, I provide personalized in-home care through 1–3 daily visits, allowing your pets to remain comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. For dogs who enjoy a little extra adventure, I have a fully insured and safety-equipped 2003 Honda Civic with dog seatbelt restraints. With your permission, I can take your pup on enriching walks and hikes along the beautiful trails at Emily Provincial Park, providing both exercise and mental stimulation while keeping safety my top priority.
Ratings and reviews
Lauren is reliable, communicates clearly, and cared for our dog during our hospital visits with kindness and attention. We felt completely at ease knowing our pet was in good hands and highly recommend her services.
Lauren is always reliable, communicates well, and treats our dog as if they were her own. Whether it’s regular walks or providing extra attention when needed, she consistently goes above and beyond. We have complete confidence in her and highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and knowledgeable dog walker.
We have trusted Lauren with our dog for the past two years, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. From the very beginning, she has been dependable, professional, and genuinely passionate about animals. Our dog absolutely lights up whenever Lauren arrives, and it gives us incredible peace of mind knowing our pet is in such caring and capable hands.
Lauren is amazing with my 3 pups. I use her every week because she gives me picture and text updates every walk. I will always choose Lauren as my Dog walker
Lauren was so caring and comforting for our Tilly! She sent pictures and updates when taking care of tilly. Lauren was great to communicate with and so kind. Tilly has severe separation anxiety and I could tell she would be in great hands with Lauren. We will definitely be having her watch Tilly again! A pawsome experience! :)
Lauren provided excellent care for my dog. Communication was professional, scheduling was easy, and I appreciated the updates during the walk. My dog came home happy, exercised, and well cared for. I would recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog walker.
