About Lauren M.

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. My dog Koda is crate trained as he is still young and a super chewer, so it is for his own safety that he is crated when we leave the house or go to sleep. I would prefer it if your dog was also crate trained but would absolutely be willing to talk about an alternative solution if I’m able to accommodate it. (If at any point your dog needs space from mine, or does not seem comfortable, I can accommodate that. I will immediately reach out to you so we can work out a solution together. No matter what, your pet’s needs will always be prioritized and taken care of just like my own pets!)

For the health and safety of my own dog, 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐟 𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠. - Rabies - DHPP (distemper, hepatitis, parvo, parainfluenza) - Bordetella (kennel cough) - Canine influenza - Flea/tick prevention (this area is high-risk and I just want your pups to be safe!) Keeping your doggies and mine safe will ALWAYS be my main priority! :) In addition to this, I can no longer accept dog-reactive or severely behaviorally challenged dogs. I will require a Meet & Greet to make sure everyone is comfortable and can acclimate to our environment safely and successfully. Let me know anything you think could help your pet’s overall experience with me! Any special needs, quirks, or maybe just a routine they are fond of? The more information I have, the better I can take care of them! I look forward to hearing from you soon!
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 • Keeping owners updated with behavior notes, lots of pictures, and summaries of their pets' day! 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 * this one gets missed by a lot of daycares/boarders. 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! Your pups deserve to be comfy, cozy, and lazy too!

Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Lauren! My ultimate goal is to provide your pet with personalized, luxury care. That is exactly what sets me apart from standard sitters. My rates reflect the tailored, premium level of service I offer and my professional experience. Because I am home full-time, your pet will enjoy constant attention and dedicated companionship during their own lavish mini-vacation! Every day with me includes complimentary mental and physical enrichment: puzzle feeders, snuffle mats, frozen activities, play time, fun training sessions, and relaxing "sniffari" walks so your pup can explore new scents at their own pace! My approach balances physical and mental stimulation with structured rest, ensuring there is an equal mix of active fun and cozy snuggles. You can count on receiving frequent, high quality updates and photos throughout the day so you can fully relax knowing your pup isn’t just being cared for, but is truly being spoiled! Why choose my care? • 4+ Years of Professional Experience: Former Adoption Counselor and Rescue Liaison for the Animal Welfare Association; Current Professional Dog Caregiver. • Behavioral Expertise: Extensive knowledge of dog behavior and compassionate, positive-reinforcement based care and training techniques. • All-Breed Friendly: Confident and experienced with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds. I pride myself on offering exceptional service and cannot wait to meet you and your pups!
Reviews
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!!
