Dog Hiker + Adventurer
Pet care experience
Hi! I'm Lauren, I have a 5-year-old border collie who I love to take to the beach and on hikes (where dogs are permitted, of course). I take full advantage of dog parks, general parks, and hiking trails that permit dogs. I can incorporate any training skills you are trying to guide your dog with and any special details or fun activities they like to do. I like to bring my dog to swim so if that is something you would like me to do, I can!
Reviews
Lauren is a deeply compassionate and caring animal lover. Mama to an energetic and fun-loving border collie, she has the experience of tending to the needs of a very active pup. On top of that, she has experience administering medication on a regular basis. Lauren has taken care of my own high energy mutt, during my trips to the mainland. I have full trust in her, knowing that my dear one will be loved and cared for with full presence in my absence, with all her energetic and medical needs provided for. I highly recommend Lauren - you pup will be be well loved and cared for by the loving soul .
To whomever it may concern, While I was away on holiday in Astana, Kazakhstan, perusing the local markets within the Akmola region for the choicest ingredients for my world renown Boortsog and Chorba stew, my heart was back in Hawaii, while my anxiety was reaching heights that could rival even mighty Khan Tengri herself. The source of my concern was my beloved Karelian Bearhound, Mustafa. But my worries were unwarranted, because my precious was left in the care of Lauren, who tended to Mustafas every need and desire. So much so, when I returned home from my jaunt, my lovely beast hardly seemed to remember me! Lauren is not only responsible, professional, and attentive, she is also incredibly caring and understanding when it came to my lovely's needs, as well as my own; often allowing me to facetime Mustafa while I hiked the rugged outback of the desolate Akmola desert. So, if you love your little beast as much as I do, and are looking for either a simple day walker, or something more prolonged, I highly recommend Lauren,
My last dog walker cancelled abruptly on me. I called Lauren last minute. I was a bit hesitant not knowing her but I was in a real bind. I was pleasantly surprised of her quick response and willingness to take over the job. I have been very happy with her and so is my Henry. I’m couldn’t be happy that we found her! Thanks Lauren!
Lauren has been my dog walker and care taker for the last several years. She is caring, and shows such love for animals and treats my pup as her own. She is extremely reliable and I can count on her always. I can’t think of anyone one else I can call on to trust in my fur baby’s care. Tricky she is a gem!!

I will follow close instructions in client's home; whether it is a drop in visit or overnight, I will abide by instructions given to me. If it is flexible, I would probably abide by my own schedule that I follow with my own dog which is - wake up, go outside, food, long-walk/adventure/dog park, home to rest and work with bathroom breaks when needed, another long-walk/adventure or dog park visit, followed by dinnner, another bathroom break before bed and do it all over the next day!
