Availability

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 😊

Information Lauren R. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed restrictions, however, I would like to see proof of vaccinations before pup sitting. Also, I do require meet & greets ahead of time. Just for the safety of my dog and yours.

A typical day

I have a huge fenced in backyard where your pup will be able to run and play. We will also get to enjoy walks around the neighborhood. Occasionally on hot days we break out the doggie pool and splash pads ?

Work from home ~ Fenced in Backyard

Pet care experience

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!

I had a very last minute booking request for a week long stay. Lauren accepted it with zero hesitation, saving me from a potential nightmare lol. Forever grateful for you, Lauren! Thank you for all you do for Riley and I. ❤️

Our sweet girl is ALWAYS happy when she realizes we're driving up to Lauren's. She loves staying there. Lauren sends lots of pictures and is very accommodating. We recommend her highly.
