I can take your pup on walks at the nearby park and can support a crate if you need one. I have a dedicated space inside in the office where I work during the day for your little one to have quiet and be near company. Our home is calm and warm, and all chewable items are put up high.

Information Lauren L. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet needs any special care or has special needs or medicine, any anxiety and if they’re challenged on a leash or with strangers. I’ll be happy to tailor my work to the needs of your pet.
A typical day
A Day in the Life: Pets, Laptops, and Lots of Love! Picture this: the aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air, and I'm snuggled under a cozy blanket, laptop open and ready for the workday. But the best part? My furry "coworkers" are never far away! The morning starts with happy greetings and excited tail wags (or gentle purrs, depending on the critter!). After a delicious breakfast for everyone (pets included, of course!), it's time for a refreshing walk with the dogs. We explore the neighborhood, enjoying the crisp morning air and letting them sniff all the fascinating scents. For smaller animals, morning playtime might involve cage cleaning, fresh veggies, and some gentle handling. Back home, I settle in with my laptop, while the pets happily nap nearby or enjoy some supervised playtime. Throughout the day, work breaks are punctuated with quick cuddle sessions, a game of fetch in the backyard, or a refreshing water top-up. Potty breaks are seamlessly woven into the schedule, ensuring everyone stays comfortable. Lunchtime means another opportunity for walks, playtime, or just some quiet bonding time. The afternoon often involves a bit more focused work, but the presence of my furry companions creates a calm and happy atmosphere. As the workday winds down, we might enjoy a final walk, some grooming sessions, or simply relax together on the couch. Evenings are dedicated to more quality time – dinner, playtime, and lots of love and affection. As the day comes to a close, I tuck the pets into their cozy beds, knowing they've had a day filled with attention, care, and plenty of happy moments. And as I drift off to sleep myself, I'm already looking forward to another day of pet-sitting adventures!

Loving care:creatures great & small
Pet care experience
Hi there! I’m local to Arlington and specialize in small animal care, and dog walking/care. I'm an active and lifelong animal lover with over 25 years of experience caring for a wide variety of pets, from playful pups to cuddly critters. My mature 10-year-old son shares my passion, and we make a fantastic pet-sitting team! We're so excited to shower your fur babies with love and attention while you're away. Dog Care: Whether your dog is a purebred champion or a lovable mixed breed, I've got the experience to handle their unique needs. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I especially love taking them for walks – exploring the neighborhood is a favorite pastime for both me and my son! We're also experienced in reinforcing basic commands and can help maintain your dog's training while you're gone. Small Animals & Critters: We adore all small animals! From bunnies and hamsters to guinea pigs and beyond, we provide gentle, attentive care. We can support cage-free living for small animals and even have a safe and fun outdoor coop for chickens, bunnies, and other farm animals to enjoy some fresh air and playtime! Cat Care: While we specialize in dogs and small animals, we're happy to provide in-home cat care, including feeding, fresh water, and of course, plenty of cuddles. Additional Services: Experienced in administering medications to animals. Reliable and responsible – you can count on us to follow your pet's routine and provide the best possible care. Ready to meet your furry, scaly, or feathered friend! I can't wait to learn all about your beloved pet and create a personalized care plan that meets their every need. Contact me today, and let's schedule a meet-and-greet!
Reviews

Another great two days of puppy daycare with Lauren and family!!!

Lauren was great and she accepted my puppy with only 48hour notice. I look forward to booking with her for doggie daycare on a regukar weeklybasis. Plus she has amazing toys for her ‘visitors’ and a very comfy bed. Super easy to work with.

Lauren was great. She followed instructions perfectly and brought her kids along to play with our dog which was a delight and provided added stimulation. Very responsive and sent photos as promised.
Lauren and her family were amazing with our dog Penny. We loved the photo updates. They gave Penny so much attention and love.
