Experienced pet sitter + nanny
Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Lauren. I’m a dog lover, pet sitter and former nanny. For the last ten years, I’ve been caring for other’s dogs as a way to channel love for animals. I’m an avid walker, hiker, body-language reader and dog masseuse. Dogs have a subtle way of letting you know what they need, admirably it's often something simple like a scratch behind the ears or a quick belly rub. I live in a strict no-pets allowed building and remain connected to animals as a care ambassador for friends, family and clients. I love meeting new dogs of all sizes and look forward to caring for your best friend(s). Feel free to message me with questions regarding animal care, optional house sitting tasks and/or other special requests.

Skills
Information Lauren R. would like to know about your pet
My nightly rate includes overnight care, two fifteen minute walks, one twenty minute walk and daily companionship. Extra walks or extended walk times can be booked and scheduled additional to the base rate per day. Before I care for your best friend, I like to know any crucial information about the dog(s) walking routine, care preferences, home space limitations for the dog, eating routine and triggers for aggressive or fearful behavior. I require a meet and greet only for dogs with special needs like severe separation anxiety, in-process potty training, a reactive nature to children and other animals or any dog who has not stayed with a sitter in the past. This ensures full confidence for both myself and the dog that your time away will be safe, enjoyable and mutually low stress. All dogs must be up to date for vaccines/preventative medication and have a current vet with contact information available should any health issue possibly arise.
A typical day
Beyond food, water and potty time your dog craves l affection + excercise + care. I will stay in your home, feed and watch over your pet(s) and leave short term for errands or occasional half day meetings . While I stay with your pet he/she will enjoy the care of a sensitive and empathetic human. Daily play, upbeat power walks and positive affirmations are part of every day I spend with a dog.
