Experienced dog sitter and lover!

Pet care experience

I am a huge animal lover. I grew up with multiple dogs and cats my whole life and now that I have moved to Chicago I miss them very much! In addition to always having my own animals, I started my own dog sitting business in my neighborhood when I was twelve years old. I walked and took care of over 15 dogs in my neighborhood of all different breeds and ages until I moved to Michigan for college. At school, I became involved in animal organizations and volunteered at the humane society to get some animal time! I moved to Chicago in 2017 and have been walking and sitting for dogs at least once a month ever since. I have also fostered a few pups from a local organization since the pandemic began and I am home full time. I would love the opportunity to take care of your dog! I will treat him/her/them as my own and take them for lots of adventures and give them lots of love and attention during our time together. I am fully vaccinated (and boosted). Since I do not have a car, prefer sitting requests within a 1-2 mile radius dependent on location and ease of access with public transit from my location

Lauren has watched our pup twice now while we were out of town. Very reliable, communicative and thoughtful. Will definitely hire her again.

Lauren was patient with my nervous rescue pup Max. She went at his speed and let him warm up. Came home to a happy boy!

Lauren is the absolutely best! She sends so many photos and is very attentive to Beau’s needs. He loves to stay with her!

Lauren was a fantastic sitter for our dog, Bella. She was very responsive and provided frequent updates. I know Bella loved her time with Lauren. I could not recommend her more!

Information Lauren P. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know any triggers for your dog, if they are good with saying hi to other dogs on walks and/or if you’re comfortable with me taking them to a dog park, how often they are used to going out to bathroom/for longer walks, and if there are any behaviors you’d prefer to be discouraged during their stay. For example, I do typically allow animals on my furniture but if that is not something you are comfortable with I am happy to enforce your house rules in my home as well!

A typical day

We will walk or run around the neighborhood. There are a few fenced in parks nearby that we can go to if your pup is comfortable around other dogs. We will also likely need some time to chill/nap between activities and I have lots of comfy space at home where we can hang together!

I currently work from home most of the time. I go to the office 1-2x a week but my work is very flexible in that way. I love having a dog to hang around with during and after the work day - and it gives me a great excuse to take a midday walk break! I also love being active and going for walks and runs on my own and of course the company of a pup makes this even more enjoyable for me!
