Attentive, Caring Dog Lover
Pet care experience
I've been caring for dogs for over 15 years. I trained and raised my childhood rescue dog - a thirty pound hound, English pointer mix - from when he was a two-month old puppy. I've also dog sat for local families over the years, making sure the dogs are fed, have water, daily walks, and are happy and cared for while their owners are gone. I have experience working with small to large dogs, in addition to dogs with disabilities. I believe dogs' health and happiness are the most important and I will ensure your dog is safe and well cared for in your absence.
Reviews
We love working with Lauren! No matter how long or short our trips are we always feel so reassured knowing our space and dogs are in amazing hands 🥹 she’s truly the best!
Highly recommend Lauren! She stayed at my home with my dog and senior kitty and took great care of both pets and the house! She was extra attentive after my cat experienced health issues right before her stay, but she had no issues giving him his daily meds and provided great photos and updates to put my mind at ease. Would definitely book again, thank you Lauren!
Lauren did such a great job with our two pups! Our older dog can be a little apprehensive around new people, but she did everything right to earn her trust and make sure she felt comfortable all weekend. It was also our first time leaving our puppy for a weekend, and she did a great job with him too! It's so nice to have peace of mind when you're out of town. She sent updates and cute pictures :) Thank you, Lauren! We'll definitely be reaching out again!

About Lauren M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
For boarding - I do have roommates who mostly keep to themselves but will occasionally play with the dogs. I have a small fenced in patio, and live a block from a park with green space. I make sure dogs are securely in their harnesses and leashes prior to leaving the house for a walk. I also open doors slowly to make sure pets feel comfortable as I enter and to give myself time to grab any runners.

Information Lauren M. would like to know about your pet
Is your dog on a specific schedule I need to follow? How much food should I give your dog each day? Does your dog have any allergies? Are there any areas you do not want me to walk your dog? Are your dogs good with other dogs, or should I keep them away on walks? Does your dog have any triggers I should know about?
A typical day
I love to keep pets active and entertained - whether that means practicing their training, playing fetch or with their favorite toy. I'm also a runner so I'm happy to run with active dogs.
