Dog loving family
Pet care experience
We are a dog loving family who recently moved to the area from Redmond, Washington and would love to take care of your fur baby! We would love the opportunity to provide your pup with the same care we seek and treasure when we are out of town. We have two children (9 and 5) and 1 dog (10) who would love to play and entertain your pup. We have a fully fenced yard so there is outdoor space to explore as well as we do at least 2 walks a day and can take your pup with us for some extra exercise. We are also able to section off a space for your dog if they prefer to not interact or need a break from the kids/dog. Happy to administer any medication as well as help with any specific diet. We currently have 1 rescue dog -Winson (Lab mix) who is 7. We absolutely adore him and have basically handed our home and yard over to him and our kids. Our dog is quite social and loves having company to romp around with. Our yard is completely enclosed and is well shaded. We often will have the sprinkler on during the hot Summer days and have plenty of room to play. Lastly, but more importantly, we are not full service sitters...meaning, we work. And we do so outside of the home. I am a teacher though, and will be home most of the summer days and by 1 pm during the "school" year. Your pup will be with one of us most of the time, however there may be days when we go out for a few hours so I simply cannot guarantee that there won't be days when your pup won't be chillaxin' in the house alone with our dog. During this time, your critter can be crated, or freely roam the home with our dog. Please keep in mind that this may affect pick-up and drop-off times although we will try our hardest to accommodate your wishes. :)
Reviews
What a great experience! Lauren is great and we will definitely use her services again. Highly recommend!
Lauren really helped us out in a pinch when we had to leave town for a family emergency. Our old pup loves staying with her and we are so grateful for the wonderful care she provides.
Lauren and her family were fantastic! She did a great job handling my dog's meds and he had a wonderful stay!
Storm always seems so sad to leave…. He loves Lauren and family!

I have a fenced yard and 2 kids to keep your fur baby company. We let our dog roam the house when we are gone and can let your dog do the same or can crate your pup if that is what they prefer.

Information Lauren M. would like to know about your pet
We accept any and all. Our dog can have a ton of energy, if he has someone to match it, therefore know how hard a sitter can be to find for them. Mainly, we just need to know your pup's bad habits....and let's face it, they all have some! If you've got a floor pooper, let us know. We'll incorporate more potty breaks. Got a chewer? Give me a heads up so I can hide my shoes! Your best friend a dumpster diver, leg humper, fence hopper?....Please make us aware. We truly want to provide the best care for your furkid while they are with us. The more knowledge you can arm us with, the better prepared we are to make their vacation (as well as yours) the smoothest it can be :)
A typical day
Your dog will join ours in unparalleled games of Tug of War, Fetch (we accept non-toy returners), and, if allowed by you, trips to the dog park to burn off any extra energy!

Availability
I am a recent stay at home parent so am able to be around the whole time. While we may run errands during the day, we will be home the majority of the time.
