For the Love of Dog!

Pet care experience

I have had, loved and trained doggos of all sizes since I was little (7 to be exact). I started training dogs when I was a teenager and still do now, though at the moment only with my own dog. My family bred large working dogs growing up and I would be the one who potty and basic trained ones for clients that wanted before going to their furever home. I have also trained working dogs in sports and for families. For many years I have taken care of dogs in clients homes and great with one up to many many dogs of any size, age or breed.

Lauren was a FANTASTIC house sitter for our Great Dane and cat - they both absolutely adored her! Lauren was extremely communicative throughout the weekend and sent us a ton of pictures and general notes on their general behavior day to day. She was also incredibly thoughtful and ensured everything was washed, folded, and cleaned without us asking. We would love to have Lauren housesit our pets again!

Lauren is a great and communicative sitter. Our pups love her! She sends lots of pics and updates and always asks questions if she’s unsure of either of our dog’s specific needs. We’ve booked her a few times and would absolutely use her again!

Unfortunately I cannot have any dogs in my home, but I am comfortable to accommodate any size, breed or temperament of dog in your home. With more weary of stranger dogs please let me know and we can work though that together. Service notes: For regular House Sitting I may be gone for up to 3 hours at a time and no more than 7 hours throughout the entire day. *If you’re in need of Constant Care for House Sitting stays during the day please let me know, I can accommodate with enough notice, there would be an additional charge of $100/daytime I can accommodate evening/day pet sitting for pets with separation anxiety or puppies that cannot be left alone yet, for the 1st 5 hours would be at “House Sitting” rate, then each additional hour would be $15/hr

Information Lauren M. would like to know about your pet

It would be nice to know any medical needs, temperament (with adults, kids, and other dogs). It would also be nice to know what kind, if any, training you have done, or if you need some help with walking and basic training of your dog(s). One more thing to know, if your dog/cat can have treats and if so what kind.

A typical day

I’m, pretty new to the area so I love to take nice long walks to let pups smell the daily doggie tabloids. I can also take dogs to a park nearby for some socializing, fetch, or just hanging in the grass. I’m good with however you would like your dog to spend their time, since it is their time :-)

I’ve been a stay at home mom for 8 years, and now that my kid is in school full time I have my days free to take care of your beloved pets! I am also available for housesitting on weekends, usually Thursday to Sunday, and the occasional weeks I can accommodate longer stays.
