A passionate dog lover with a knack for connecting with every furry friend encountered. Raised 7 adorable puppies from birth, and has gained extensive experience in administering oral and topical medications. Proud owner of Zena, a lively Golden Aussie, and Harley, a calm Super Mutt rescue.

 **NOTE: Zena is a socially pushy dog and can be intense during introductions. Once she gets comfortable she’s playful and social, but I require a structured introduction process prior to boarding** Trusted by many for dog-sitting and known for flexibility, with experience caring for dogs from 10lbs to 100lbs, and managing up to 5 dogs at a time. Owns a cozy home in Sparta with a secure, fenced-in backyard, perfect for most dogs (though not ideal for small escape artists).

Lauren was very responsive and friendly. She updated me every morning about my dog, and sent me photos of him. He returned to me in great shape and I am was very happy with how he was cared for. Thank you Lauren for your love and care for my dog Major.

I was traveling from out of state to Wisconsin. Lauren and I connected on Rover early before my trip. She provided me with good details about her two fur babies, her home, and her schedule. After I gave her my details, Lauren felt confident that my three fur babies and hers would do just fine. I arrived around 9 pm, and that didn’t pose a problem at all. Lauren was accommodating and reassured me it was no problem if travel issues were problematic. We introduced them one at a time, and after about 20 minutes, it was ready, set, Rover time! She communicated well, sent pictures regularly, had a great setup for dog sitting, and I would highly recommend her, and definitely use her again. Thank you so much for keeping my babies safe and sound, and being a great second mom to all of them.

Lauren was such a great sitter. She was attentive to my pup and treated him like her own. He got along well with her 2 pups + 1.

Lauren is really positive, relaxed, and is experienced at getting dogs acquainted with one another! I know Callum was getting his steps in with her pack and got plenty of love from Lauren (made a few guest appearances in her work meetings). I picked up a happy and healthy boy!

Pets

A typical day

We are bound to cuddle or play fetch depending on your dog's personality! I have MANY dog toys, bones and pet friendly peanut butter so your dog is sure to be spoiled. Having my own pups, I know how hard it is to be away so I’m consistent with sending updates to fill you in on all the fun we are having.

How much food/when? Any medications or allergies? What are some of the dogs favorite things to do? Are there any habits I should be aware of? Typical routines the dog is on? I prefer to do a meet & greet prior to care date.
