Pet care experience

What’s ours is theirs, welcome home

I’ve raised and cared for dogs nearly my whole life. I grew up with my parents raising hunting dogs (labradors, pointers, hounds, rodesian ridgebacks and heelers) and am aware of how to connect with and assert obedience into dogs with different types of energy levels as well as a range of sizes of dogs. It’s been a few years, but I’ve also been certified in basic obedience training classes and would love to get to share some time trying to teach your dog a few tricks if possible. We try to venture to Leawoof, Penn Valley or Shawnee Mission dog parks a few times/week, otherwise it’s long strolls around the neighborhood chasing squirrels and bringing home sticks. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. I am available for a multitude of services as far as keeping your pet at our home, stays at your home or house visits. We do have a toddler girl who is 4 years old but she’s constantly around our dogs and others at the park so we don’t foresee any issues of being around your dogs. Thanks for checking out my profile.

Lauren & his darling family are the absolute best dogsitters in town! They let our two yellow labs, Lewis & Clark sleep with them - how wonderful is that?!?! Lots of activity & walks every day made us feel great about leaving them in such loving hands!

Once again - Lauren to the rescue! He’s the greatest with our two explorers, Lewis & Clark! Lots of love, hugs & walks makes us feel so relaxed whenever we leave our boys in his very capable hands! Couldn’t be happier with his care when we’re away!

Odin has a second home. He loves staying with Lauren, Kelly and their awesome kids. And, I always have peace of mind when out of town, knowing Odin is loved and cared for. Many thanks! :)

Lauren and Kelli are amazing. I always have peace of mind knowing Odin is in great hands. He is always so excited to visit, and their love and care for him truly show. They are simply the best.

We hit the Rover jackpot with Lauren and his family! We feel incredibly lucky to have found Lauren, Keli and their awesome family to care for Finn and Odin while we were out of town. From the very beginning, Lauren made us feel completely at ease with regular updates, photos, and thoughtful communication. It was clear that our boys were not only safe, but genuinely happy and loved. Lauren and his family went above and beyond, making sure Odin got his needed exercise and Finn had his cozy cuddles. They weren’t just boarded, they were truly part of the family. The home was safe, welcoming, and full of positive energy. Our boys came back relaxed, content, and clearly well cared for. The best Rovers treat your pets like their own, communicate consistently, are responsible, loving, and completely reliable—and Lauren is all of that and more. Thank you for being so trustworthy and kind. We couldn’t be more grateful. We'll definitely be booking again! Many thanks!!
