Pet care experience
I just moved from Michigan to Washington to pursue a PhD in Physics at WSU but I also have a deep passion for animals!! I have an amazing dog that is very social and an intense academic schedule so in order to keep us both happy, dog sitting/walking is the perfect job for our lives!! We hike on a weekly basis and frequently go to the dog park and would love more furry friends to join us! I dog sit for all of my friends, and have fostered three dogs and a cat, all at very young ages and trained them all to be respectful and obedient through positive reinforcement. Although I have never had a real job taking care of animals, I would consider myself more than experienced in treating every animal as if they were my own!
Reviews
Thank you Lauren for taking such awesome care of Koda and Alpine!!! They can't wait until next time!
Lauren was responsive, checked in frequently, send lots of pictures, was very friendly, and took GREAT care of our older chihuahua and very independent kitty. Will ABSOLUTELY be booking her again.
Lauren did an awesome job watching Milo and Riley. She always sends lots of pics and updates. They always seem very happy with her. This is the second time I’ve book with Lauren and she does a great job.
Highly recommend Lauren as a pet sitter! She watched my pit mix dog for the weekend and made sure she got plenty of hikes/walks. Lauren was also great about scheduling meet and greets ahead of time (getting to know my slightly reactive pup's quirks and ensuring that our dogs got along well before the stay). Lauren sent lots of pictures and a few updates throughout the stay!

I know from experience that a dog is more obedient and happy if they are exercised often and given lots of loving. However, if I’m watching your dog in your home and they don’t regularly exercise, I won’t take them out of their comfort zone. It’s distressing to have their owners leave so I like to make sure that they’re as comfortable as possible by sticking to their daily routines while you’re away.

Information Lauren M. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know if you’re dog is people friendly, good with other dogs (if they were to stay at my home), any diet restrictions and/or allergies. If they have any medications they need or any other quirks, I am a very fast learner and can adjust their care based on their needs.
A typical day
There are so many trails throughout Washington we can walk through. My pup loves to do the walking trails all around Pullman. With your permission, I would love to take your dog hiking with us too!

My dog is extremely active so I always set aside 3 hours minimum a day to work him out. I’m not working or going to school at the moment so I have nothing but free time to care for your pet!
