I definitely spoil my cat! She has all the toys in the world, I will spoil your babies just as much! I will also be respectful of your space!

Information Lauren R. would like to know about your pet

How active the dog is so I know how much I can walk them! No breed preference. I get along with all types of dogs!

A typical day

I love to exercise! I would love to go on a short walk or go 5 miles if that is what your dog loves! Can also bring them to the dog park!

Hard working, caring, animal lover!

Pet care experience

I grew up with 2 cats and 1 golden retriever since I was born. I love animals very much. I am working over the summer and looking for opportunities to watch more animals! In high school, I watched 6 family’s animals, mostly dogs some cats. I love the outdoors and I enjoy walking dogs. I have a pretty free schedule! I have been told, whenever I watch other people’s dogs they never worry about them when they are gone because I take such good care of them. I love big dogs that are active, but small dogs are still great! Looking for some animals cuddles, walking buddy, play date or whatever you need! I am very flexible so I lots of time to spend with your furry friends!
