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.

Lauren was amazing! She sent pictures every day and took the pups on lots of adventures. I returned to a very clean house and very happy pups!

This was Ollie’s third time with Lauren and he loves it. She is quick to respond and sends updates on Ollie with pictures. Will continue to use in the future. Thanks Lauren!

Lauren truly treats your dogs as her own. She is super communicative, easy going, and loved my German Shepherd and Golden Retriever as her own. She provided a ton of pictures where I could see how happy they were all week, and kept me updated on how quickly they settled in under her care. I cannot recommend her enough!

Lauren was the best! This was our first time leaving our 7month old puppy and Lauren was so great with sending us photo updates and keeping us on the loop which gave us such peace of mind. She was able to handle his puppy energy and schedule and he seemed so comfortable with her! She is responsive, on time, reliable and so pleasant to work with. We’ll definitely be using Lauren again!

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.
