Dog Lover Living in a Dog Paradise
Pet care experience
Hi! I'm Lauren. I have many years' experience as a Rover sitter in NYC, Oakland, and Portland. A few years ago, my partner Jeremy and I bought 37 acres out in Sandy, Oregon, and we constantly say we bought it for our pup, Juno. It truly is a dog's paradise with open meadows, ponds and a creek, hiking trails and hills to explore. We have turned part of the property into a campground and one of the things that sets us apart and brings campers back each year is how dog friendly it is. Boarding your dog with us means a lot of exercising, socializing, and spoiling. :) Please let us know if your dog does well off-leash in open spaces and around other dogs/people or if you prefer that they stay on-leash while going on hikes. We do have a small private and fenced yard by the house as well, but love to let them run and explore as much as they can. I always take photos and videos to share with you while you're gone. Jeremy, Juno and I will make sure your pups get plenty of exercise and cuddle time. I promise to treat yours like my own and to always be available if you need to get in touch.
Reviews
Lauren and Spike took such good care of our pup while we were away for the weekend and we’re very flexible with our pickup and drop off times. We would definitely book with them again.
My pup Saydee had a great stay with Lauren! I appreciated the IG story updates throughout her stay and I can tell she truly had a good time in Lauren's care. Pick up and drop off were easy-peazy. I would definitely recommend Lauren to others looking for a responsible sitter for their furry friend. Thanks for the help Lauren!
Lauren and Spike were so wonderful!! Our pup was so happy and content! We could tell she felt right at home! We appreciated the pics and updates! Lauren and Spike made us feel so comfortable and happy, we knew our pup was in good hands! We will be booking again soon! Thank you guys SO much!
Lauren and Spike are great. They genuinely love to love dogs. They’ll make sure your dogs are loved and looked after. Rupert had a blast with them! I could tell from watching all of the videos and photos Lauren posted. If you are new to Rover like me and not sure which sitter to pick, I recommend Lauren and Spike. They are sweet, trustworthy and responsible!

Aside from me already being obsessed with your dog, and Juno being the gentlest and kindest companion, we have a very comfortable and safe house, and put up a temporary fence around our yard when we're boarding dogs. We do live on the outskirts of Mt Hood National Forest so if your dog is the type to run off/roam and/or doesn't have great recall, this is good for us to know so we can make sure they're leashed when leaving the house/yard and exploring the bigger parts of the property.

Information Lauren N. would like to know about your pet
Better on leash or off? Good with other dogs and humans? Do they like to eat weird things? Newts? Mushrooms? Plants? Do they love to swim? Get dirty? Do they tend to jump on furniture?
A typical day
Lots of time outside. We're often working on various property projects so dogs are welcome to hang out while we get stuff done. We do a lot of property walks, playtime, and hike the trails.

We both work from home and are pretty much always on the property in the summer months. Juno is our baby and we're used to having many dogs around us so they are a top priority and a big part of our lives.
