Dog lover wanting to love your dog!
Pet care experience
My husband and I had been dog owners for 12 years. We loved our dogs so very much! We walked them frequently, took them on trips, bathed them, played in the yard with them as soon as we would be home from work. We were THOSE dog people who loved our dogs as children. After some rough times, I think having a pet in my life, even if not my own would be very beneficial in my life as well as our families. We now do not have any dogs, and since our dogs have passed, I have wanted to be more involved with dogs whether it was through a shelter or through a service! I know that you're beloved pet will become ours too and I am looking forward to starting this new journey! *As of May 2020, we will be adding an addition to our family! We will not be accepting clients for a little while, we will be up and running after we get adjusted! Thank you to all of our clients and our doggie friends, we'll see you soon!!
Reviews
Thank you Lauren & Mike!! We are so happy we found you. We felt so comfortable leaving our fur baby with you guys, she was so happy to stay with you, my husband said when he came to pick her up that she looked like she made herself at home. Thank you for having her! She hopes to visit again soon. The Kirsteins
Lauren and mike are by far the most attentive, dedicated and loving pet sitters that we have ever had for our Harley. Lauren listened to all my concerns about Harley and all my fears about leaving her. Not once did I feel any judgement or being annoyed at my requests. In fact, she fully embraced all my requests with total support and a genuine love for animals ? we are so blessed to have found her for Harley! It’s such a nice feeling to not have to worry. Harley was so well cared for and loved by Lauren and mike!!! Harley has finally found her forever sitter!
Lauren and Mike are both kind and caring animal lovers. They have been pet parents themselves, one of their dogs Alpine, was a rescue that had been abused by the previous owner and as a result was very cautious around people and especially terrified of men. Alpine immediately absolutely adored Lauren and was always by her side, very quickly Alpine and Mike were the best of friends too! It was especially touching in the circumstances how Alpine took to Mike. Together as a family they love to snuggle with their dogs. They are trustworthy & safety conscious and will care for other’s fur babies as their very own! Lauren and Mike also have the energy and patience to walk, dog sit and board client’s dogs in a loving and safe atmosphere, as if the pets were their very own. Their home is a safe haven for dogs with a generous fenced in yard. They are both extremely friendly people with amazing smiles and the warmest hearts that would be an excellent addition to Rover!
I have known Lauren her entire life. She is kind and caring and generous. Lauren has been a pet owner since she was 5 years old and her parents got her a kitten when she learned to tie her shoes! During early college years, Lauren adopted a rescue puppy, Alpine, who she loved deeply and cared for until his death last summer. Lauren spent much money and many visits to her Vet to try to save Alpine. He was much loved by all who knew him. Lauren also nannies for 8 children (not all at once!). She is incredibly responsible! She has also cared for her parents dog. She would be perfect for this role and would find great joy in caring for puppies and dogs. Since Alpine’s death, she is seriously considering adopting another puppy. Not only would Lauren be an excellent care giver for Rover, it would bring her joy. Thank you! Kristin B.
