Animals are our passion
Pet care experience
We have a lifetime of experience with many pets and farm animals. Both my husband and I grew up on farms learning how to care for animals of various ages. My husband continued his passion for animals by getting both a bachelor's degree and a Master's degree from the University of Illinois in Animal sciences. Together we are raising our children to learn how to take of care animals on our small farm.
Reviews
Very happy with the care this family provided our pets. We have an elderly dog and were happy to know she was comfortable and looked after while we were out of town. Wonderful to have a local option when the need to travel arises, both of our dogs were happy and well cared for with Lauren and family!
Lauren and her family took such great care of our dog, Cooper! I am not sure that he wanted to come home with me when I was there to pick him up. I am pretty confident that he had so much fun that he wanted to stay! I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone - I know that we will be using her again!!
Lauren and family were great with our pups. I received photos daily and when I arrived to pick them up after our weekend away, they were not ready to go home. I highly recommend Lauren and will definitely use her again in the future.
Awesome experience! This is a lovely family who provided great care for our dogs with regular updates and pictures. This was our dogs first experience with someone outside of family and they did great. Highly recommended!!

Our 5-acre farm is unfenced but welcome those who like to use GPS collars. We have had great luck with clients that have those. We will spend most of our time in our four-car attached garage as it also has HVAC capabilities. This allows the dogs we keep to be able to move around and get a lot of exercise during their stay. When we do have animals over they are not let outside unsupervised, we will always have someone keeping an eye on them. We will only keep animals from one family at any given time. We do however have our own farm animals (goats and cats) on the property but do not allow our guests near them for both the safety of your pet as well as ours (note: the cats sometimes are a little harder to keep away).

Information Lauren M. would like to know about your pet
Please let us know if your pet has any special needs or requirements. Knowing what their typical daily routine is like is also helpful so we can try and stick to that as much as possible.
A typical day
We like to play outside a lot. We love to go for walks in the country or just around the property. Playing fetch is another fun activity we like to do.

Availability
I work remotely three days a week so during those days I can use my breaks and lunches to exercise our guests. This allows them to get plenty of fresh air and stretch their legs throughout the day.
