Highlights
Pet care experience
experienced & safe pet boarding
Hello, I’m Lauren! I’ve been around dogs quite literally my whole life. My family raised Dobermans for show, and I’ve personally raised and trained two incredible male German Shepherds over the past 15 years. Since 2014, I’ve provided private dog boarding and training in California, Australia and Florida. My background includes working with puppies, active/working breeds, senior dogs with health ailments and dogs with specific training needs. I bring calm confidence, consistency, and deep respect for every dog’s personality and comfort level. I’m a firm believer in meeting them where they’re already at and letting them pace the speed from there.

Ratings and reviews
Lauren was an excellent choice for Marshall. I immediately felt her compassion for animals, and knew that he was in good hands. Lauren was responsive to all of my communications immediately, and kept me up to date with photos and commentary from beginning to the end of my trip. I will gladly seek out Lauren for future petcare needs.
Such a caring and compassionate dog sitter! It gave me much relief seeing that Laika was enjoying her stay with Lauren and her kiddos. I will definitely book again! ✨
Lauren took great care of our 4 month old puppy who seemed have a great time with Lauren and her daughter. We will definitely use here again!
This is the first time leaving Buzz and I was nervous. Lauren was kind and did a good job of taking care of his needs and making sure he wasn’t alone. Thank you to her mini helper for keeping him busy and active.
Lauren did a great job taking care of Luna! It was my first time leaving her with a sitter and Luna seemed to have enjoyed her stay! Thanks so much for taking care of her!
Lauren and her kids were amazing with pocoyo treating him like part of the family! Thank you so much!

Schedule
I work from home full time, which allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, routine, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone and will receive regular walks, breaks, playtime, and affection woven naturally into our daily rhythm.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide care from my clean, pet-friendly home where your dog will feel safe, seen, and loved. I don’t currently have pets of my own, so yours will get my full attention. I only accept one dog at a time or multiple dogs from the same home. I live with my almost 4-year-old daughter who has been taught to respect, be cautious and gently interact with animals after she has been approached by them and knows them. She is remarkably attuned to their body language and boundaries. We’re located in a safe, quiet community with dog friendly parks in walking distance. Our large fenced yard is a great place for dogs to relax, play, or just soak up the sights and sun. I honor your dog’s rules from home; whether they’re allowed on furniture or need scheduled crate time. I use washable covers and keep a tidy, sanitized space. When your dog stays with us, they’ll be treated like family. I look forward to giving them the same love and care you do when you’re with them!
A typical day
I love engaging pets with stimulating activities like fetch, tug-of-war, puzzle toys, and nature walks. We'll also enjoy cuddle time, enrichment games, and plenty of play tailored to their energy level and personality.

- It’s important for me to know your pet’s routine, temperament, medical needs, allergies, fears, and how they interact with other animals. This helps me provide safe and personalized care.
