Loving, calm, attentive care

Pet care experience

I have so much enthusiasm for walks, snuggles and play time with pooches! I grew up with a sweet terrier mix, and have done some pet sitting for dogs of various ages and sizes over the years. I'm told I have a calming energy, and am good with nervous dogs. My daytime availability for walks and home visits is varied due to another part time job, but overnights can be arranged any night by request. My skills as a dog handler are moderate, and can work with assertive "pack leader" energy as required. As a (human!)massage therapist, I'd love to help in any way, especially if your dog is elderly or in pain, though I have no formal training as an animal therapist. Mostly I'm offering my services here as a mutual benefit, as I really miss having a dog and just love spending time with them, and feel I have unique patience and acceptance to share with all beings.

Lauren walks through life with a golden heart. She has always been affectionate toward animals since we met 6 years ago. She has taken care of dogs lizards and humans too! I have experienced her gentle demeanor toward her family's elderly dog, and her warmth and friendliness with friends' and strangers' dogs alike. She is a responsible, loving, thoughtful and caring person. One example of this was in 2014 when I agreed to take care of a neighbor dog while the owner was away. This 7 year old golden-doodle was as rowdy as a 1 yr old, and I was quite overwhelmed! Without my asking for help (which may have been obvious the 2nd time I was chasing the dog around the neighborhood) Lauren met the pup with affection and patience. She was a great help in my keeping the dog safe and happy. Dogs will be happy just to know her!

My Dalmatian, Ayla, is energetic and shy. She barks a lot and her barks of happiness or nervousness can be mistaken for aggression. Lauren is soft and gentle, perceptive and tuned into the dog energy. Ayla trusted her in our home and on walks from the start which usually it takes her time to warm up to someone new. Lauren helped Ayla be calm, was sweet, playful, and they enjoy each other's company. I wholeheartedly recommend Lauren!
