Caring for pets since my childhood!

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of pets since a young child. I started a pet sitting business as a child before apps to connect were a thing. As a teenager, I volunteered for the Museum of Life and Sciences (Durham,NC) taking care of exotic animals of all types and sizes. I will love your pet as if he/she is our own.

Our little pet dog, Jessie, had a wonderful time at Lauren's home! She had a blast running and playing out in the beautiful, large fenced-in backyard and was very well taken care of by Lauren and her kids. She also got along very well with their pet dog, Bruno, who is very sweet and playful. Would highly recommend!

Lauren (and her family) were so great with my 3 month old puppy. He stayed with them for 2 weeks while I was away, and learned how to leave it, drop it, come while his name was called, and continued his house training. He had a large back yard to run around in and her 3 year old dog, Bruno, to keep him company. When I went to pick him up you could tell he was so comfortable and happy with them. I definitely recommend to all small dog owners.

Lauren was wonderful! We have never used Rover and we made last minute plans to leave town so we really lucked out. Lauren set up a video chat to meet us and give us a tour of her home/yard and then came and picked up Buddy the next day. Everyday we received pictures/videos and it looked like Buddy made friends with their dog Bruno and was having a great time in their huge yard. Lauren even gave Buddy a bath because he played until he got muddy. Oh and Lauren also worked on training Buddy while he was with her for consistency. I think he even learned a new command at her house because now he knows, "Leave it!" Thanks Lauren and family for taking in our Buddy and loving him while we were gone.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. We have two small children in the house and a smaller dog to think about. My preference is for friendly dogs with at least basic training.

I love to take the dogs into the backyard to play fetch and engage them in social play. I will take them on walks in our neighborhood, and take breaks to play with toys and training games.
