I treat 'em like family!

Pet care experience

I have 1 sweet dog who loves other dogs, a large fenced back yard, doggie door, chew toys galore, treats, a swimming pool where the pooches go for a swim if they love water, and I have an energetic 9 year old that loves to play with our dogs and will give your dog(s) the exercise they need. Have your loved ones come join us for fun and play without being cooped up in a kennel all day. I will give your dog the comfort and love they deserve. I also play calming music for dogs and puppies if they tend to be anxious. I will provide basic obedience training for FREE if your dog boards with us and needs it. Your pooch will be in good hands with my pack and I. Photos of them will be posted on Rover or texted to you during their stay.

My dog LOVED his weekend vacation over at Lauren’s! He loved his buddy benson and the backyard! It was so nice to not have to worry about my furbaby while I was away. I got so many pictures, videos, and updates during the week! Definitely going to rebook with Lauren for our next trip!

Lauren welcomed Cooper into her home as though he was her own. He stayed two full weeks with Lauren and her family and she updated us daily with photos and an activity list. Cooper was thrilled to be cared for so lovingly as illustrated by the fact that he wasn’t diving into our vehicle when we arrived. Also, he’s crashing this minute, so we know he was busy having fun. Anyone would be fortunate to have Lauren care for their pet.

Lucy had a great time with Lauren. After a bad experience with a different sitter we were hesitant to leave Lucy and for such a long stretch. The meet and greet before our trip left us confident that Lucy was in good hands. The daily pics and comments were reassuring. Lucy came home happy!

I treat the dogs like family and they can sleep wherever they feel most comfortable. I have 3 dog beds in my livingroom, they can sleep in my bedroom or I have 3 kennels. During play time, I have a fenced in yard and a fenced pool area. I do flexible feeding arrangements for dogs who need to eat seperated from other dogs. I usually do 1 booking at a time.

Information Lauren N. would like to know about your pet

I require all dogs to be vaccinated and actively be on flea prevention. I do not accept dogs with intestinal parasites. It is county law that all pets have a current license and rabies shot.

A typical day

They will run and play in my .42 acre privacy fenced yard, fetch balls, and go for a swim in the pool if it's a swim day. They can then choose to relax on the rug in front of the TV while munching on their favorite chew toy. If it's winter time, they can relax by the screened fire place and listen to Christmas music while getting a belly rub. Add-ons: I provide a full bath service with their stay for an additional fee of $10 for puppies and small, short hair breeds, $20 for medium size and/or hair length, and $30 for shaggy or long hair breeds and very large dogs.

I currently work part-time at home and volunteer a few hours in the week. I mostly work from home as an online teacher and am off on the weekends. I have plenty of time to entertain and play with your fur babies. The most popular service booked is overnight boarding. Come meet my family and pets, and see if your dog loves our family just as much as we love having them.
