Ratings and reviews
Lauren is the best! She took care of Winter really well. I received updates from her and did not have to worry at all while we were on vacation. She was so kind and flexible to to have Winter stay one more night with her. Thank you so much Lauren Koda and Noah. ❤️
Thank you for an amazing job caring for my dog he loved his stay so much !!!
I would give Lauren more than 5 stars if that was an option. From the meet and greet she made Champ and I feel comfortable. Thank you, Lauren, for the WONDERFUL care you provided for Champ.
Lauren was great! She updated me as much as I wanted 😊 sent videos and photos of my babies and made it so we could feel comfortable and enjoy our vacation knowing the dogs were being cared for so well!!
Lauren is such an amazing and trustworthy dog sitter! As a first time dog mom of a very active golden retriever puppy, I was nervous to have someone new watch him but Lauren made me feel comfortable right away! One thing that makes her super special is how often she provides updates with photos and descriptions of how their day is going! I love her attention to detail and willingness to keep me updated during my busy work day. She also always makes sure to record the walks they go on and provide that information as well. Additionally, her extensive experience with animals having worked at an animal shelter also made me feel confident that my baby would be well cared for! I definitely plan to keep coming back again and again to Lauren for daycare! Highly recommend!!
Lauren was absolutely phenomenal with Rory! He struggles with separation anxiety, but she made him feel comfortable and he warmed right up to her. He even ran straight inside on their second day together, ready to play! Lauren is very responsive and takes lots of great pictures too. I couldn’t recommend her more! We’ll definitely be reaching out again in the future. Thanks again, Lauren!

Schedule
My life revolves around my dog, Koda, and when your pup is here, my life will revolve around them too! I currently have a very flexible schedule with open availability for your pet's needs. I always do my best to be accommodating and to make sure you have no worries while you are away!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
______________________________________ I live on the second floor in a condo community with my boyfriend, our one year old rescue pup Koda, and our bearded dragon, Sappy. Sappy will always be secured in his enclosure when your pet stays here, so that everyone stays safe and happy. :) * We do not have a fenced in backyard, instead we have a very large field, trail, and plenty of space for long sniff walks. Dogs are ALWAYS leashed when outside whether for potty or walks, no exceptions. ______________________________________ Koda is crate trained for when we leave the house or go to sleep. He loves it and treats it like a den. We would prefer it if your dog was also crate trained but would absolutely be willing to talk about an alternative solution if able to accommodate it. (No matter what, your pet’s needs will always be prioritized and taken care of just like my own!)
Pets
A typical day
If you decide to book with me, your pet will get their very own all-inclusive vacation experience! My dog and I will make it our mission to make sure your pup isn’t just comfortable but truly enjoying their stay! • Unlimited enrichment with an emphasis on mental & physical stimulation (snuffle mats, frozen kongs, puzzle feeders, interactive play, scent work games, long sniff walks etc!) • High value treats with limited ingredients • You can count on receiving frequent, high quality updates and photos throughout the day so you can fully relax knowing your best friend isn’t just being cared for, but is truly being spoiled! (Updates are always catered to owners' preference.) • I offer 24/7 services at an hourly rate for clients that need it. That means round the clock love, care, & attention for your fur baby! Pawrents with anxious pups, I'm here for you!) • Outdoor activities other than walks Playgrounds, Park, playing catch/running around at the tennis courts; there's so much to do and all in walking distance too! • Structured rest: It's just as important that your dog is able to rest peacefully, especially after a lot of activity! We prioritize R & R as much as we prioritize having a blast!
