Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving & experienced dog caretaker
Hi, I’m Lauren! I was a proud dog mom to two amazing girl dogs until recently, and I truly miss the joy of caring for a dog. While my family isn’t ready to have another of our own just yet, I’d love to help others by spending time with their furry family members. When I was young, I worked as a Seeing Eye Dog trainer, which gave me years of experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with everything from playful puppies to older companions who just want a calm walk and a cuddle. Whether you need drop-ins, walks, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pup feels loved, safe, and right at home while you’re away.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
In our home, we have an enclosed deck. Gate if needed to avoid the stairs. Nothing on the ground to chew. Pet free home. In other homes, I am always wondering where the pup is. I ensure to keep a close eye if they tend to be a trouble maker.
Ratings and reviews
Lauren is absolutely amazing with my dogs! She truly understands their quirks and personalities and handles each of them with so much patience, care, and creativity. Whether it’s managing a little extra barking or excitement, or showing them love and attention like they’re her own, she genuinely enjoys what she does, and it shows. I trust her completely and couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Lauren is hands-down the best dog caregiver we’ve ever had for our two pups, a bouncy German Shepherd and a senior Shih Tzu with ongoing medical needs. She is responsible, attentive, and truly loves what she does. Every single visit she sends multiple updates with photos, follows our feeding and medication instructions perfectly, and even noticed subtle changes in our older dog’s comfort level that helped us catch an issue early. Our dogs adore her; they get so excited the moment she walks through the door. She’s reliable, communicative, and treats our babies with the same care and affection she would her own. We trust her completely and couldn’t imagine leaving our dogs in anyone else’s hands. Lauren is simply outstanding. Highly, highly recommend!
Lauren has been great to work with. She truly loves dogs so much! She had two of her own and took such good care of them. She always makes the pups her first priority. She is always present with the pups and loves taking them on long walks1
