Dog Lover & Experienced Caregiver

🐾 About Me: Hi there! I’m passionate about pets and have been taking care of dogs since I was just 7 years old. Throughout my life, I’ve had the joy of sharing my home with various breeds, including Cairn Terriers, Beagles, Dachshunds, German Shepherds, and a Pit Bull. Each dog has taught me something unique, and I cherish the bond we have/created. ❤️ Fostering Experience: I’ve also had the rewarding experience of being a foster mom for a dog rescue. Caring for these wonderful animals has been immensely fulfilling, and I loved being able to help them transition to their forever homes. My heart is always open to providing a safe and loving environment. 🐶 What I Offer: Playtime & Exercise:** I believe every dog deserves to have fun! Whether it’s a walk, a game of fetch, or just some cuddle time, I’m here to keep your pup engaged and happy. Personalized Care:** I understand that every dog has its own personality and needs. I’m committed to providing tailored care that suits your furry friend perfectly. Safe Environment:** Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a clean, secure space where they can feel at home. 🌟 Let’s Connect! If you’re looking for a dedicated and experienced dog caregiver, I’d love to meet your pup! Together, we can ensure they have a fantastic time while you’re away. Feel free to reach out—let’s chat about how I can help!

Safety, trust & environment

•Secure Space: My home is pet-proofed, with all hazardous materials (like cleaning supplies and small objects) stored out of reach. I ensure that windows and doors are secure to prevent any escapes. •Emergency Preparedness: I have a first aid kit specifically for pets and know basic first aid procedures. I am also familiar with the nearest veterinary clinics and emergency animal hospitals in case of any urgent situations. •Supervised Play: When dogs are playing, I supervise them closely to prevent any roughhousing that could lead to injury. I also monitor their interactions to ensure they are comfortable and safe. •Open Communication: I believe in building trust with both you and your dog. I encourage you to share any specific needs, preferences, or concerns regarding your pet's care. Regular updates and photos can help you feel connected while you’re away. •Consistency: I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to help your dog feel secure and comfortable in my home. Familiarity fosters trust, and I aim to create a stable environment for your pet. •Positive Reinforcement: I use positive reinforcement techniques to build a rapport with your dog. This helps them feel more at ease and creates a trusting relationship. •Comfortable Space: Your dog will have access to a cozy area where they can relax. I provide bedding, toys, and a quiet place for them to unwind. I also ensure that the environment is clean and free from any hazards.

Lauren is so great to our dog Jasmine. She is always very great at communicating with us and sending pictures while we are away. She takes the best care of Jasmine and gives her so much love!

Lauren took great care of my puppy she was very attentive to everything with her and provided consistent pictures of her throughout her stay. She would update me daily to ensure I knew how my puppy was doing and kept her active which she needs at this stage in her life. I would 100% recommend Lauren to other pet owners and will definitely be booking with her again.

I work a full-time job remotely four days a week, which gives me flexibility during the weekdays. My schedule allows me to be available for dog sitting in the evenings after work and throughout the day on my days off. Additionally, I’m free on weekends, making it easy to provide care for your furry friend when you need it most.
