Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal lover and former vet tech!
I will give your pet all of the attention and love they deserve ❤️ 🐱 🐶 I’ve been on a hiatus for the last couple of years due to having my first baby girl, but I’m back and ready to care for your pets! If you are a first time client, let me know and I am happy to offer a 5% discount on your first booking! I have over 15 years of professional experience with a variety of animals: 3 years as a small animal veterinary technician, 4 years as an emergency front desk vet receptionist, and 4 years in animal husbandry (taking dogs for walks, cleaning crates, feeding dogs, giving medication, giving baths, etc). Additionally, I have a BS degree in Animal Sciences (2013) and a PhD from the VT College of Veterinary Medicine (2018). I have never owned a dog, but have fostered several and have a lot of experience with all sizes and breeds. I truly love animals and will give your fur baby all of the love and attention they deserve!

Ratings and reviews
Lauren was great with Lady during my 4-day trip! Lady can be finicky with loud noises, especially thunder, and Lauren handled her with ease. She sent daily updates and let me know right away if anything came up. Lady was happy and relaxed when I got home. I would highly recommend Lauren for your dog walking needs.
Lauren was amazing with my babies!!! She was flexible, provided great feedback and pictures! I was so glad I booked her and knew everything would be taken care of!
Very responsive and flexible. My dog was very happy. Definitely will hire again.
Lauren was amazing! Absolute dream sitter. Our two energetic pups loved her and we had a great vacation knowing that they were safe and having fun with Lauren. 100% would book with her again!
Lauren was great! Prompt, helpful & attentive to my pup. I always get nervous having someone new come take Butter out for a walk but Butter loved her walk and potty break with Lauren.
Lauren is terrific! This was our first time hiring Lauren and we will definitely work with her in the future. She walked our two dogs daily for a week, always showing up on time, taking them to a local field or park to play, and then walking them. Our dogs require a lot of exercise and she made sure they got a full hour of exercise and fun.

Schedule
I work as a remote scientist so my days are usually very flexible! I would request at least 3 days notice prior to a visit so I can ensure I have no work-related conflicts. I love getting out of the house for a bit and spending time with animals!
