Pet care experience

Avid dog person

I’ve taken care of a wide range of pets since childhood. Now with a dog of my own, I offer a home away from home for your pups! I enjoy being active and taking dogs out to walk and play, but equally love relaxing at home with them in front of the TV. My own pup, Kota, gets along with all dogs and will absolutely love the company of another furry friend. I am highly attentive to animals' needs and am happy to follow any specific care instructions and routines, with the main goal of providing a safe, comfortable, and quality stay for your pet. I understand it can be difficult to be away from your furry friends, so if there is anything I can do to help ease that worry, please don’t hesitate to let me know! I look forward to meeting your furry companion and providing them with the care and attention they deserve. Please message me if you have any questions!

Lauren and her husband take great care of my best friend. They are very communicative, trustworthy, and send great pictures! Would recommend them to anyone

Lauren was easy to communicate with and incredibly responsive. Would love to have her watch Perry again

Lauren was amazing! Our pup was super happy and well cared for. She quickly picked up on all of his quirks and funny routines, and stayed in great touch along the way. Highly recommend Lauren!

Poppy had a great time with Lauren and Kota and will definitely be back soon!! I appreciated all the photos and great communication while Poppy was there, and I’m confident that she was comfortable the whole time. Looks like she made herself at home! ❤️

Schedule

I work 100% at home with very flexible working hours, which allows me to keep a close eye on the dogs and take them out for frequent walks. I have a pretty typical routine established with my own pup and am happy to accommodate to your dog’s needs and lifestyle!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a security-controlled apartment in the quiet and safe Eastlake neighborhood. My apartment has ample room for playtime and is near various walking trails and parks along the water, which your dog will surely love! My home is a dog-friendly zone. Your pup is welcome on the couch, chairs, bed, or wherever they feel the most comfortable. However, if you have any specific house rules you'd like me to enforce (i.e. furniture or specific rooms off-limit), please let me know.

Pets

A typical day

I'd say a good day always starts with a walk around the neighborhood. I believe dogs enjoy nice views as much as humans, so typically take my dog around the lake, to nearby lookout spots, and scenic parks. My dog has many toys and puzzles to share, so I also like to provide dogs with down time at home, either relaxing or involved in some type of stimulating play.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or accommodations that I can help with. While I have ample experience understanding dogs' behaviors and needs, feel free to share any additional information with me to ensure their care is to the highest standard. Some helpful point for me to be aware of are: - Daily Routine: feeding schedule, potty schedule, sleep style, exercise needs - Health Needs: health conditions, medications, or allergies - Behavior: energy level, sociability with other animals or people. Note: my dog Kota is highly adaptable to other dogs. If your pup prefers to lounge around, then it's nap time for Kota! If your pup prefers to run around and play, he's ready to share his toys!
