Information Lauren M. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know if there’s anything I should keep an eye out for—like medical issues, reactivity, separation anxiety, or anything else that would help me give your dog the best care.

A typical day

A typical day includes walks in the park (Golden Gate Park or the Panhandle are favorites), relaxing at the apartment, and plenty of pets and snuggles. I like to keep things calm and comfortable, with lots of attention and time outside when possible.

Dog lover with lifelong experience

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs my whole life—golden retrievers, English cocker spaniels, labs, and Nova Scotia duck tolling retrievers. I’ve helped raise them from puppies all the way through their senior years, so I’m comfortable with all stages of care. I enjoy going for walks in Golden Gate Park and the Panhandle, and I’d love to have a dog join me.

Lauren is absolutely amazing and our golden loves staying with her! Lauren gives us total peace of mind when we travel with her regular updates and love she shows our dog. She also is super understanding and accommodating for unplanned things, even going so far as to cook our Corey some extra dinner when we didnt pack enough!! Cannot recommend Lauren enough!

We used Lauren’s dog boarding services for a weekend trip. She was very communicative beforehand - recommending a pre-boarding meet up- and throughout, sending us many pictures and updates. We have a shy dog who does not enjoy being away from her owners and home, but Lauren seemed to win over her trust much more quickly than other boarders we have used in the past, which says a lot about how she treats animals under her care. She also communicated honestly with us about how our dog was eating while boarded (she tends to eat poorly the first few days away from home), and went above and beyond to encourage her to eat, which we do not expect but did greatly appreciate. Overall I was very pleased with the care and attention our girl Luna received from Lauren while she stayed with her. We are very picky about boarders given our dog’s personality and she quickly put us at ease. Highly recommend her services!!
