Safety, trust & environment

I aim to stick to your routine and guidance as much as possible. I know how stressful it can be for pets while you’re away, so I will try to maintain as much stability as I can and make them as comfortable as possible. I am very detail oriented and great at following directions, so I will discuss your expectations and goals with you in depth before agreeing to take care for your pet!

Information Lauren N. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the energy level, favorite activities, things/places to avoid, and what activities you would like them to do! All information about their health, typical routine, and things to keep an eye on is important for me to know too! I can sit for any breed or size!

A typical day

I love being active so in the fall through spring, I'd love to take your dog on walks or out to parks where we can run and play! For more high-energy and adventurous dogs, we could take hiking trips or take long walks out along trails. For more relaxed dogs, we can stay in your neighborhood and walk along sidewalks and then hang out indoors! In the summer, I love walking in the early mornings and late evenings, but if that’s not possible, I will do my best to entertain your pet indoors. If my dogs could talk, they would tell you that I’m a pro at both tug-of-war and fetch!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Lauren, I’m originally from western Pennsylvania but have lived all over the US from Ohio, to Seattle, to Nashville and finally settling in Scottsdale about two years ago. I have been taking care of dogs since I was six years old, and have experience with all breeds and sizes. I grew up with a golden retriever and a Boston terrier, Chihuahua, pitbull mix. I dog sat all through college before moving and getting two dogs of my own! My experience and my boys Buddha and Luca have taught me more than I could imagine about caring for pets. I have experience with reactive animals, ones that need medication, and those that are anxious or have separation anxiety. I have a hybrid work schedule where I split my weeks 50/50 between home and in office. My workplace is in downtown Phoenix and when I go into the office, I am usually there from 7 to 3 but my schedule is relatively flexible. If I have advanced notice (a week before at least), I can try to adjust my work schedule to the days visits or walks are needed! I am typically available for drop in visits or dog walking as early as 5 AM and late as 9 PM. In the summer, I will not dog walk after 7 in the morning and before 8 at night. Feel free to ask me any questions, discuss expectations or requests, or set up a meet & great!

Lauren was absolutely amazing with our dog, Lady. She came to our house to meet us and get to know our pup before they spent the weekend together. She was warm and friendly and treated us like family. While we were away, she sent frequent updates and included pictures of Lady so we were confident that Lady was in good hands. I would recommend Lauren to everyone and would definitely book her again!
