Experienced dog sitter

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Lauren, I am 31 and an experienced dog-sitter/walker. I have been dog-sitting since 2016, and grew up with 5 family dogs so far! What I offer your dogs: Daycare: A meet and greet - happy to organise this in advance of your booking. Stay with me anytime between 8am-6pm (outside these hours to be discussed). 2 x 30min walks minimum during the day and regular access to the back garden for play/toilet. Mental stimulation - enrichment games and regular play. Free roam of the downstairs of our house, and a secure medium-sized garden with new, 6ft fences. Continuing any training plan you have with your dog. A lot of cuddles and attention (if this is your dog's vibe!) Overnight boarding: As above but over a 24hr period, with another walk in the evening. House rules: - All dogs must be house trained. - Dogs are not allowed in our bed, so must be comfortable sleeping either in their own bed or their own crate downstairs overnight. - Owners must drop off their dog's food/bed/toys/enrichment activities with their dog to last the duration of the time they are staying with me. - Unfixed females: I do not accept bookings when she is in heat. - Unfixed males: if they have a tendancy to mark indoors, this is not the place for them. Experience: I traveled New Zealand for 12 months, dog and house-sitting around the country. I dog-sat for 11 dogs during this time and spent between 1 week to 3 months in each house at a time. I now petsit regularly for four clients, and can offer a safe space for more nervous dogs. I am very flexible as work remotely most of the time, and I am happy to discuss your needs so get in touch if you have any questions - I am sure we can work something out. I really look forward to working with you and your dog(s)!

It is obvious Lauren loves Griff and he loves to be with her. He trots in her front door and doesn’t give me a look back! I get regular updates on walks and foods had and different games played. A perfect arrangement. :)

Lauren obviously loves dogs and was fantastic with Griff- the updates I received kept me happy and I could see Griff was happy too.

Your dog will have myself and my partner at home so won't be left alone. They will get regular walks and be let out regularly for toilet breaks in our fenced (6ft fence) back garden. I will keep to any schedules/rules your dog has at home. They will be left alone downstairs overnight if boarding.

Information Lauren M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any additional needs beforehand. If your dog has separation anxiety overnight then please do not book 24hr boarding as they will be downstairs from 11:30pm-07:30am I am unable to take dogs who toilet indoors.

A typical day

We will go on a morning walk (if dog boarding) and have breakfast, have a play if they're a high energy dog either before or after the walk. We will then pop them next to me whilst I work with enrichment activities until lunch when we will either have another play in the garden/do an enrichment activity inside or go on another walk (depending on the dog and it's needs). Then we will chill until the evening with some play between my meetings, and chill in front of the TV in the evening. If your dog likes socialising with other dogs I can organise this with my sister's dog-friendly senior dog too so let me know.
