I’m currently a senior at the University of Michigan studying Psychology, and I have plenty of free time in my schedule to dedicate to caring for a new buddy! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I love the energy and joy dogs bring, and spending time with them is truly the best part of my day. I’m originally from Los Angeles, but here in Ann Arbor I live in a house with five incredible roommates who are all dog-lovers too. That means your puppy will always be surrounded by a warm, welcoming environment and plenty of people excited to give them attention and belly rubs! Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just relaxing, I’ll make sure your dog feels happy, safe, and loved as part of my weekly routine.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home, dogs will be welcomed into a warm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play and relax. When we’re out in my neighborhood, I’m very mindful of surroundings and make sure walks are both fun and safe. I’m conscious of different dog behaviors and always treat each dog with gentle care and respect. I also stay alert to prevent them from getting into anything harmful or unsafe, so you can feel confident that your dog is in good hands!

Pet care experience

I’ve been lucky to share my life with two perfect dogs—one high-energy and playful, the other calm and laid-back. Caring for both taught me how to adapt to different personalities and needs, from daily exercise and playtime to quiet companionship. I also love going on walks through my beautiful neighborhood, which makes it easy to keep dogs active, curious, and engaged. I’m very hands-on, attentive, and always focused on making sure pets feel comfortable and loved. Dogs truly are my favorite thing in the world, and I treat each one like they’re my family!

Lauren was so great with my Henny! I appreciated the good communication and updates while she cared for him. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again and would recommend her to anyone! :)

Lauren was so great. She was able to take Buddy for the day at short notice. She and her roommates were very warm and took great care of Buddy.

Lauren and her friends were super excited to take care of Milo. I felt safe to leave Milo with them. I can tell that Milo had a great time.
