I care for elephants too :)

Pet care experience

I've always taken care of the neighbors animals now it's time to make a job out of it :) I've taken care of dogs, cats, horses, and some elephants. I've been taking care of animals all my life. I like to play with them and give them my undivided attention. I've taken care of my dog until she died recently so if your dog has a specific diet Or any special needs I'm your girl. My dog went blind in her last five years and in the last few weeks lost the use of her back legs and needed constant care. So I learned to become a caregiver for handicapped dogs. used to taking care of handicapped dogs. I feel I'm the ideal candidate with the experience of my own dogs. :) thank you look forward to hearing from you.

Lauren was fantastic with Nelson! She was flexible and understanding when we wanted her dog, Diesel, to meet our dog before we committed to booking. She was communicative, sent a ton of photos and had a lovely home. We will certainly use her again!

Lauren was amazing with my 1.5 yr male Samoyed! He got along well with her German Shepherd pup. They had similar temperaments and energy levels, which made me very happy! Lauren was very accommodating with my week’s schedule, as it varied each day. She even kindly offered her dog boarding service so that Makana could stay overnight at her place when I anticipated I might not be able to pick him up until much later than previously agreed on. I loved the videos and photos she sent each day letting me know how much fun Makana had with Diesel and what he was doing at the moment. All that mattered was that he was comfortable at Lauren’s and that he was having a great time. In fact, on most mornings before dropping Makana off, I actually had to wake HIM up because he was tired from playing with Diesel the day before. Makana was getting very used to going on a car ride first thing in the morning and playing with Diesel all day. He's already expressed how upset he is that I messed up his daily routine. It was an awesome match and I hope to book Lauren’s daycare services again in the future.

There is a dog park down the street from my place. Just a short drive and we can spend hours there as long as the dog is happy. I live in a neighborhood so if they don't get along with other animals then walking around the neighborhood will do fine.
