Lauren was a great fit for Birdie! I received pics and updates during her stay and could tell that Birdie was well cared for, having fun, and happy. Birdie even made a new best friend during her stay with Lauren’s pup! Most importantly though, at pickup and afterwards, Birdie was calm and very much seemed like herself which to me means that Birdie felt safe and had a good stay! I am already planning to book again!

Lauren clearly loves animals and understands all types of dogs. Rocky enjoyed playing with her and the dogs on his first ever Doggie daycare visit. We will be back!

It was our first time working with Lauren. She was incredibly responsive, took care in introducing our dog to her crew and provided timely updates throughout the boarding.

This is our first time using rover, our experience was great, she explained the process to us patiently, she took and sent pictures to assure us that our dog was doing great. Great experience, will book again when needed. Btw she lives in ranch, and she has really big fenced yard that allow our dog to run around...i think our dog had the summer camp experience.....

Schedule

I work full-time from home, so I’m always home while your pet is in my care. This provides consistency, supervision, and a comfortable environment while helping minimize stress and separation anxiety. I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention and care throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a securely fenced yard and multiple interior safety gates that allow me to introduce new pets to my own dogs gradually and at their own pace. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities, and I take the time to ensure every pet feels secure in their environment. I have 3 dogs of my own and welcome all pets into my home, including on the furniture, so they can relax and feel like part of the family. With several years of experience as a veterinary technician, I understand the importance of attentive supervision, recognizing changes in behavior, and providing individualized, loving care for every pet.

Pets

A typical day

Every day is filled with plenty of fresh air, exercise, and attention! Dogs will enjoy walks around the horse farm, exploring the property, and getting time outside before relaxing in the comfort of my home. I tailor activities to each pet’s age, energy level, and personality. Whether your dog loves adventure or prefers lounging on the couch, I make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for. A tired dog is a happy dog!

Please let me know about any special needs, medical conditions, medications, allergies, or unique quirks your pet may have! With several years of experience as a small animal veterinary technician, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a variety of needs and can administer medications as directed. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, and I take the time to understand their routines, personality, and comfort level. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience while giving you peace of mind that your pet is in capable hands.
