South Loop dog walker/sitter
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Lauren. Life-time dog lover here. Some years ago my former boss asked me to watch her pooch while she went away for vacation. Ever since then, the dog floodgates opened. I've watched all breeds, ages, and even those dogs with ailments/special needs. I know having a pet in the city can be hard, so I love to help people who get stuck at work, or have last minute plans come up. After work walks and weekend sitting are my specialty! I believe in structure, and pride myself of keeping walk/eat/sleep schedules when watching someone's pet. Most of all, dogs make me happy. It's a win/win that lifts my mood. It's always a great joy to spend time with a furry family member.

Lauren was great! She looked like she had so much fun with my pups! She took Luna, my husky, on "special walks" and Luna was on cloud 9, feeling like a princess. Lauren was diligent and very responsible. Hope to use her again in the future!
Our first time booking Lauren was for our wedding night - we needed someone to come grab our pooch in the park after we were done taking pics with him, then take him on a walk and get him safely home. Then stop by the house that night for one more walk. Well, we weren't aware our dog was sick, and when Lauren came to walk him the second time, she discovered he had a couple accidents on our carpet (he's NEVER done that before). So she made sure Pliny was ok, then spent a lot of extra time cleaning the carpets, making sure the mess was taken care of and everything disposed of, and left us a note detailing everything. Thanks to Lauren, our carpets were not damaged and our little pal got his walks in while we were gone. She even followed up the next morning to make sure he was feeling better. We will definitely be booking her again!!
No loves dogs more than Lauren! She has looked after my dog, Scooter, for several weeks at a time and on several occasions. My dog is a bit of a trouble maker and she always showed him patience and kindness. She always had Scooter's best interest in mind and looked after him as if he were her own.
Lauren has watched two of my dogs (Gator and Butch). Although she only watched Butch for one day, I could tell Lauren made an impression which is not easy to do with Butch. On the other hand, Gator LOVES Lauren! He gets so excited to see her, he doesn't even notice me walking the other direction. Lauren is reliable, caring, and even sends daily pictures! I highly recommend her for your pet setting needs.
