Pet care experience

I have 2 wonderful dogs and a cat and have been caring for these fur babies for over 10 years. I love every pet I meet and genuinely enjoy caring for furry friends! I have completed advanced obedience training with my adorable goldendoodle who is Canine Good Citizen certified. I took training very seriously and read many books which helped with my high energy doodle. I have cared for both young and old dogs and cats, giving both oral and injectable medication and tending to wounds. I excel at work with puppies and teaching old dogs new tricks.

Lauren took great care of Winnie for a drop-in visit! She asked lots of questions ahead of the visit to get to know Winnie and we felt at ease knowing she was going to care for our high energy pup. She was on time (actually 5 min early) and played with Winnie for the duration of the visit. We would definitely book Lauren again for future sitting/walking needs!

Lauren was great with our 2 large pups! She was prompt, communicated well and was lovely to work with. We appreciated her tiring them out on walks and feeding them breakfast! Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I love spending time snuggling with furry friends and going on walks. I love giving massages or scratches. I understand how cats and dogs communicate and can quickly pick up on their needs. The safety of your pet is important to me and I feel confident I can make your pet feel both safe and comfortable when under my care. I am a great communicator and can update you on the status of your pet with photos and messages throughout the time they are under my care. Just a little note in case you decide to book me after 8pm: I'll get back to you the next morning 😊

Information Lauren S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs that I should be aware of. I am comfortable working with all kinds of dogs and cats.

A typical day

I love having fun and playing with your pet. We will check out local parks and go on walks if that's their kinda thing. Not only is it important for your pet to get only physical exercise but mental exercise, too! I love playing games and adventuring to new parks for new smells to stimulate your pooch.

I am currently brand new to Richmond and am looking for furry friends to walk and hang with round this beautiful city as I wait for the transfer of my clinical social work license to VA. I am available to care for your pet daily and have a flexible schedule. I recently became a mom to my sweet baby (been a pet mom for over a decade) so earliest I can start a pet visit is 9 am and latest is 7. My baby is happy at home with my husband while I work with your pets!
