Hello there, my name is Lauren and I am a 25 year old graphic designer by trade. Although I never had a dog growing up (unfortunate sibling allergies), I had a pet cat name Kida who I rescued as a stray and an adopted rabbit named Susie, and I loved the many neighborhood dogs like my own. I have dog sit for several neighborhood dogs as well as family members' dogs over the years, and have lived with roommate's pets, two cats named Mr. Tuxford and Sam and a dog named Brix , over the last 3 years. In addition, the office I work in as a freelance graphic designer is very dog-friendly, meaning there are an average of 8 dogs in the office on any given day giving me ample time to hang with some great pups. I work 25-40 hours during the week, so I am most often available before 8:00am and after 5:00pm on weekdays, and any time on the weekends.
