Information Lauren R. would like to know about your pet

Absolutely would love to know who your pets are, if they have special accommodations and needs or are just goofy lovable animals to take the best care I can.

A typical day

My day with my dogs is usually breakfast first, a nice walk, play time and naps, another walk or two, dinner time, downtime in crates, a walk then cuddles and then bedtime in crates. We spend quality time together and engage in activities for exercise.

Pet care experience

I am so grateful to have found Lauren. She’s an animal lover and I feel confident that my mom’s cats are being taken care of while she is recovering in the hospital. I have already rebooked her!

Lauren is AMAZING! She makes sure that Ryder is loved and cared for while I am away, picks up on his weird quirks of wanting to take stuff with him while he’s on a walk, and calms his nerves with cars. I know when she comes that he is in good hands, and he has a wonderful time with her. I wish I could give her more stars, as she is the best!! Thank you for all that you do!

Lauren is great. She is my go-to babysitter for the girls. Lauren is prompt, reliable, and professional. She goes above and beyond. One time my dog got a bunch of stickers stuck in her fur when she jumped into a bush. Lauren stayed additional time to brush her out and make sure my girl was comfortable. Lauren is a great communicator. I don’t have to worry whether she will respond in a certain amount of time. She keeps me updated when she stops by and lets me know if there are any issues or lets me know the visit went well. This is v important to me because sometimes my girls can be naughty. Also, we live in a small space so it puts me at ease to hear that they are doing ok.
