Pet care experience

Work from home ~ Fenced in Backyard

I have grown up around all types of animals, but dogs are absolutely my passion. I have boarded dogs for about 10 years now, mostly for family but have lots of clients now. I am comfortable with all breeds and ages. I am comfortable with administering medications or and special needs that have to given. I work from home full time and my husband occasionally works from our home also. We always make sure someone will be home with your pet. I am flexible with schedules and am available to board or take care of your dog during the day weekdays and weekends. We have a fenced in yard (6' high) and my Retriever, Riley and Shih Tzu, Leo will be here to keep your pup company. Riley is a calm 7 year old Golden Retriever. He is a lover of all sizes of dogs and will play for hours on end with them. Leo is 2 and still very much a playful pup!

Lauren is the best! She’s always happy to take care of Finn and Cleo and they’re always happy to stay over and play! Thanks again and see you soon! :)

Lauren is amazing! I needed help getting my pup out for a walk and Lauren was there to save the day! Always responsive and takes amazing care of my buddy. Definitely recommend booking with Lauren as I will be rebooking soon!

Zoe loves going to Lauren’s house! I get daily pictures and I know she’s in the best hands. It’s hard to leave your dog but Lauren makes it much easier with her communication and dog experience. Plus, Zoe loves her dogs and the doggy daycare attendees, so she gets lots of play time and comes back tired and happy!

Tucker looks like he had a very enjoyable time with Lauren. He had plenty of playmates to meet and play with. I would recommend Lauren, and plan to have my pup stay with her in the future!

Schedule

I work from home and am lucky enough to have a very flexible job where I have majority of my day free to tend to the pups. Also, my 9 and 10 year old are very much apart of helping with the dogs. They are knowledgeable on how to act around them and are actively involved in playing and helping take care of them. It is a win win for the dog and my children experience wise 😊
