Lifelong Dog Lover!
Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have always loved being around them. My family has had German and Australian Shepherds, Dobermanns, and Rottweilers, so I’m very comfortable with larger breeds as well as high-energy dogs. Being around dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them. I currently volunteer at Paws and Claws Humane Society, where I work with dogs of all ages, personalities, and training levels. This has given me great experience reading dog behavior, handling different temperaments, and making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also helped my roommate last year with her Rover boarding clients and gained experience caring for multiple dogs at once. I loved getting to know each dog’s personality and routine. One of my favorite things to do is take dogs on long walks and get them outside for fresh air, exercise, and stimulation. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing and getting attention, I’m happy to match their energy and make sure they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care!

Ratings and reviews
Mellie had the best time staying with Lauren- lots of walks, cuddles, and pictures sent to prove it!
This was our first time leaving our pup with a sitter. I really appreciate how cared for my pup was during her stay with Lauren. And I also appreciated all of the updates and pictures throughout the day. It kept us at ease knowing our pup was in a happy, loving environment. We will definitely use Lauren again in the near future! Thank you, Lauren!
I am pleased to recommend Lauren for any dog walking or pet care opportunity. During the time that she worked with our family, Lauren consistently demonstrated reliability, kindness, and a genuine love for animals. Lauren cared for our dog, Zans, on a regular basis and quickly built a strong bond with her. It was clear from the start that she understands how to work with dogs of different temperaments and needs. Our dog was always excited to see Lauren, and we felt confident knowing that our pet was in capable and caring hands. In addition to being wonderful with animals, Lauren is extremely dependable and professional. She was always punctual, communicative, and attentive to details such as feeding schedules, exercise needs, and safety during walks. We also appreciated the updates and occasional photos, which reassured us that our dog was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate dog walker. Any pet owner would be fortunate to have someone with such dedication and care looking after their animals.
Lauren is a stellar pet caregiver. She consistently takes care of my 8 year old and 6 month year old new puppy--they ADORE her! She follows all directions to a T, and has great and timely communication. I would recommend Lauren a thousand times over, she is the best!
Lauren is an immensely responsible individual, being a full time pre-med student, active in clubs, apart of Greek life, and so much more. Being able to balance so many variables proves her ability to take great care of your pet, along with treating them like her own! She is an animal lover and even has her own dog that she adores back at home. I would personally trust Lauren with my pets, and I think you can too!
Lauren is super responsible and genuinely loves animals. She’s really patient and attentive, and you can tell she cares about making sure pets feel comfortable and happy. I would completely trust her with my own pets and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to watch their animals.

Schedule
I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care and give dogs the time and attention they deserve. I’m able to accommodate walks, check ins, and longer visits, and I love spending time outside taking dogs on long walks or giving them plenty of playtime and attention.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely so pets can stay in their normal routine and feel as comfortable as possible. I make sure dogs are supervised, have water, and get plenty of exercise, attention, and bathroom breaks. I’m very attentive on walks and always keep dogs securely leashed unless the owner instructs otherwise. I’m also mindful of each dog’s personality, energy level, and any special needs they may have. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them on walks, I will treat them with the same care and attention I would give my own pets.
