Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving and considerate sitter and walker
I have/had 2 dogs myself, both who I raised from puppies. The first was a very energetic and independent German Spitz. The second is a very chilled and sweet Chihuahua, who lives with me now and would be here to keep your dog company. I also lived with a council approved professional dog walker and sitter for a year, so I had plenty of experience with a range of dogs such as Cocker Spaniels and Cockapoos. I helped to walk and feed the dogs. I looked after a family friends rescue Husky for 6+ months whilst they travelled, and loved the extra walking and exploring (and all the snuggles). He came to us unable to be off lead and left us a confident dog who would walk at your side voluntarily. I believe every dog is different and every animal deserves respect. I will listen to your dogs needs and be considerate of what they want and your training schedule.

Ratings and reviews
Lauren did a fantastic job of looking after our leopard gecko while we were away for the week. She kept us updated with photos, and was very thorough with her care and keeping us in the loop. We'd highly recommend Lauren to care for your pet.
Lauren is great! She’s friendly and really great with Ollie. He always gets so excited for his walks and loves going out with her. It’s clear she genuinely cares, Lauren is always on time and reliable, we’re so happy to have her looking after him!
Lauren was great with Logan! He had a great time. She arrived at the requested times and gave Logan lots of fuss and love. She is super kind and thoughtful and will look forward to booking her again for more walks in the future!
Lauren was so good with Charlie, taking time to understand his needs. Our minds were at ease during the walk as Lauren sent over lots of pictures full of Charlie having the best time. Charlie came back very tired and slept all afternoon. Thank you Lauren 😊
Lauren was excellent with Marli. She was very confident and proactive. Marli can sometimes be a little reactive towards bigger dogs and she handled this very well. I will be 100% requesting Lauren regularly!

Schedule
Dog walking and sitting is my main work so I can be flexible to your dogs needs. I will be at home with your dog if choosing dog sitting or boarding.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live on a canal boat, so for boarding or day care your dog will be aboard the boat. The boat is very safe (it is the same as a small flat) and I will take the time to get your dog used to the boat. I live on a private marina so there are no people passing, it is very calm and quiet and dogs are on a lead when not on the boat. There are lots of fields nearby where I can walk the dogs.
Pets
A typical day
I have various parks and fields close to my home that are safe for dogs. I will play catch or let the dogs sniff and explore.
