Pet care experience

A dog-filled life…by choice!

I have never not had a dog. My mother bred and showed beagles up until I was a late teen. Because of this I was involved in the birthing and the care of our newborn puppies up until they were adopted as well as the continual responsibility of our adult dogs, which typically averaged ten (at least!). We offered a boarding and grooming service to families who adopted our puppies, which I took over when I was fifteen. At that time I also extended the service to our neighbors, teachers, family friends and the like. Because of my dog centered upbringing I am comfortable with the vast majority of breeds, sizes and ages. From having been around so many dogs of different backgrounds I learned how to perceive certain behavioral traits and understand that each dog reacts differently to new people and social settings.

We’re so glad we found Lauren! Our pets had such a fun weekend with her and she took the most excellent care of our babies. We will definitely be booking Lauren again!

Riley found his favorite doggie sitter, Lauren. She sends pictures and i can tell he is very happy. I highly recommend Lauren and will use her from here on out.

Lauren did a great job caring for our dog. She was very responsive when we set up the stay and sent pictures and updates about Tumi while we were gone. What a great experience!

My pup had a great time staying with Lauren! He enjoyed the walks and the play time. Really appreciate how communicative Lauren was with the initial request, meet up, and finally, arranging drop off and pick up times for the stay dates. She was flexible with my plans even when I had to change the dates. I will definitely be using her services again and I know my dog will be excited to return!

Lauren and Jason are wonderful. My dogs love staying over. Lauren sends me daily pictures and videos of my pups walking or playing. I am confident when I drop them off that they will be treated like family and well taken care of. We've used Lauren's services twice now and will continue in the future.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in back yard which I have my dog use for early morning and late night potty breaks. Otherwise I mostly utilize being walking distance from the beach and take her down there for two, twenty minute walks each day. She is older and gets quite tired, so I can certainly modify that to each dogs physical capabilities and energy level. She gets fed twice a day from home cooked meals, occasional allergy meds and is not crated. She is quite honestly the most docile dog I have ever met.
