Availability

I am self employed professional photographer with a flexible weekly schedule and I work from home, except when I am out photographing clients. I would love to be a trusted fill-in for your standards of interaction with your pal if our schedules align. Please note that I am NOT a good fit for pandemic animals that cannot be left unattended or have separation anxiety. If your dog cannot be left alone for a few hours at a time you'll need to look elsewhere.

Information Lauren L. would like to know about your pet

I am an active person with a history of owning cattle dogs. I am happy to take them on as many adventures or as few as needed. I can cuddle or I can run.

A typical day

If your dog is a runner, I'm always happy to take them running with me! We have a great meadow and trails near our house.

Pet care experience

I've owned Australian Cattle Dogs (red/blue heelers) my entire life. My beloved most recent 12 year old Red Heeler named Austin passed away last summer. I now travel too much for work to consider getting another pet myself, but would love to borrow some to get my four legged furry fix.

Lauren was an absolutely fantastic sitter! My dog is super shy but within a few days, he was so attached. My whole family looked forward to her regular updates, which were always funny and with a great photo. I wouldn't hesitate to book Lauren again. Thank you so much!!

Highly recommended!! 🌟 Lauren is amazing! She took such good care of Henry, I wasn't sure if he'd want to come home! 🤣 We loved the daily photo updates of their out & about adventures or their indoor cozy seshs. Henry looked so happy & relaxed. Shout out to Lauren's good friend Charmaine who Henry also had the pleasure of hanging out with! Lauren, you are now on speed dial for pet sitting! 😉 Thank you so much for everything! Happy Happy Holidays & Happy New Year! 🎄🎆 pS... Henry says he misses you both! 🐕

Lauren is a fantastic dog sitter and has a great house for dogs! They have the freedom of a big enclosed yard. Lauren is very active and includes the dogs on her outdoor activities such as running or hiking! We have been leaving our dog, Carlos, with Lauren for 2 years and are always at ease during his stays. Our dog can be a little difficult and Lauren takes great care of his special needs :) I would recommend Lauren for any and all of your dog care needs!

Lauren was easy-going and took great care of my dog, Ellie. Ellie had such a great time at her house playing with Lauren's dog that I was afraid she wouldn't want to leave! Lauren took my energetic Ellie for long walks and let her wear herself out playing in the snow in the fenced backyard. Lauren sent pictures and updates throughout Ellie's stay and was very flexible about the drop-off and pick-up times. I highly recommend staying with Lauren!
