Lauren Opin is a caring and kind person, who is excellent with dogs, cats and people, of all ages. She is extremely responsible and reliable. Her judgment is unmatched and since she is an experienced EMT, she is excellent in any crisis. She has been wonderful to our little Shih Tzu for many years, and I'm not sure which one of them adores the other more. They light up when they interact, whether it's simply playtime or mealtime or anytime. I trust her implicitly with our now 11-year-old precious pup, and know she would be just as wonderful to any dog she cares for. Lauren is a strong pillar to our family and love that we can go on vacation and that she will take excellent care of Teddy, and send us updates and pictures while we are away.
