Honest, dependable

Pet care experience

My beloved Summer (now deceased) was an absolute monster when she was a puppy, so I can handle it all. When she was a senior, I had no problem picking her up (60 lbs) for car rides and for bedtime (she slept with me), and took care of her when her stitches popped. It takes a lot to faze me. In high school and college, I was first aid certified and still keep a first aid kit on me at all times, so should something happen, I can get your sweet dog wrapped up if need be. My favorite activity for getting dogs' energy out is taking them to a fenced in soccer field and kicking a ball for them to run after. I currently have a 6 (ish) year old rescue named Charlotte, whom I’ve had to train as an adult dog. She’s the complete opposite of Summer: very vocal and has no interest in balls but adores sticks. Every morning, afternoon, and evening. Walks, meal times, and play time for your dog (or dogs) and my dog as well. Caring for a dog is priority #1. I’m easily Google-able and have worked for many public officials who can vouch for me.

Lauren was wonderful! She had really good vibes from the beginning and did a great job with my cats. The cute pictures she took of them and the comments she left each time made my separation from my cats a little easier for me. Definitely recommend!

Lauren was great! She was very communicative, provided pictures. My house was very clean upon my return. Appreciated knowing my dogs were well cared for.

Lauren was wonderful with our aging pup. we were concerned when our regular sitter couldn't do our whole vacation but we found Lauren and she was able to fill in the last couple of days. Kara was happy when we returned home.

Safety, trust & environment

It varies by the needs of the pet and his/her family. Walks, playing in the yard, etc. are common. If your pet has a certain routine, I’m pleased to accommodate.

Information Lauren K. would like to know about your pet

Level of training and any quirks, likes, dislikes. I know that not all pit bulls and akitas are bad, but my sweet Summer has been attacked by these breeds a few times, so I am very wary of those breeds.

A typical day

We'll walk on the closest trail (if there is one), play soccer, tug-of-war, and fetch. Your doggo will receive many pets and be told "good boy/girl!"

Availability

Each morning, I walk Charlotte before hitting the gym and again in the evening. I’m currently in-between jobs, so I have full availability for the next few weeks. After that, I will likely be working remotely and will be flexible.
