You're away, dogs will play!

Pet care experience

As a self-proclaimed dog whisperer, you can trust that your dog(s) will be in good and compassionate hands. I grew up with dogs (two dachshunds) and often dog-sit for friends and family (in our family there is a Shih Tzu, Black Lab-Whippet and poodle). Even as a kid I was responsible for bathing my dogs and clipping nails, taking them for walks and, later, taking them to the vet when needed. I cannot currently have my own dog where I live... dog-sitting is the next best thing! I am very responsible and have experience as a caregiver in an adult family home. When things appear to be amiss health-wise with a dog, I do not ignore or wait to address the issue. I do also work part-time at a botanical conservatory. It is right across the street, so checking in on a pet is very easy. I live next to a large park, definitely a perk! I also enjoy taking photographs of animals and would be happy to take a few "pet portraits"! Upon request, I am happy to provide a resume and/or references. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

We had only had our dog 6 weeks when we were headed out of town. Since we got her from the Humane Society, I did not want her to go to a traditional kennel. Lauren was very good with her. She followed my instructions to make our dogs stay more comfortable and and showed her lots of love. We got a few texts and pictures from Lauren, which helped us to know our dog was doing well. I would use her again.

Lauren was great. She was very flexible and responsive. She also provided pictures and updates during our dogs' stay. We will definitely use Lauren again. So nice to know your "children" are in good hands when you can't be with them.

We were very greatful for the updates and photos while we were away! Lauren treated our dog very well - she gave him a lot of attention and took him to the park, the farmers market and so much more. We would definitely recommend her to others.

Lauren is fantastic with dogs! She is professional, very responsible, easy to get along with and even incredibly flexible/easy to coordinate with. My dog, Bailey (11lb - Toy Poodle), has Addison's Disease, making her rather shy around new people. She and Lauren instantly bonded upon meeting. An added extra when hiring Lauren is she is a talented photographer, so the photos she takes of Bailey are stunning ..."Christmas card quality!" :) I would recommend her to anyone!

Information Lauren M. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting I would like to know about any health issues a dog has. Knowing about the dog's behavior can be helpful when taking the dog out for walks or exercise (ie, can the dog be around other dogs, people or children? Would going to an off-leash dog park be appropriate? Does the dog prefer not to be touched or picked up?). I once sat for a dog who frequently jumped the yard's fence but always returned to their home... but I was not told this before sitting! It was a non-issue, but knowing information like that would be helpful.

A typical day

I love going on walks with dogs around their neighborhood and in beautiful places. Depending on where you live, I will find a safe park to take your dog. Some of my favorites are Point Defiance, Swan Creek and the Ruston Waterfront. I'd love to know what your dog's routine is, or about places they are already familiar with.
