Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog lover and experienced sitter!
I am a huge animal lover and have grown up around dogs. I understand that your pets are important members of your family, and I am committed to providing them with the love, care, and attention they deserve. I’ve been pet sitting since I was in high school but have been doing overnight stays for the past 7 years. The dogs I’ve watched have ranged from chihuahuas to greats danes and puppies to seniors. I’m comfortable taking care of multiple dogs and have experience with up to 7 dogs. I am also comfortable administering medication and following any specific instructions you may have for your pets. My services include feeding, providing fresh water, exercise, playtime, and of course, lots of cuddles and attention. I am also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well-cared for. I will ensure that your house will be nice and tidy when you return as well. I’m looking forward to meeting your furry friends!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most secure, and I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, walks, and daily routines. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. In the event of an emergency, I will contact you immediately and follow your preferred veterinarian or emergency care instructions. I treat every home with respect and always leave it as I found it. For overnight stays, I require a clean, safe, and functional living environment so I can stay comfortably and focus fully on your pet’s care. For transparency and mutual trust, any indoor cameras or monitoring devices must be disclosed prior to booking. Cameras are welcome in common areas for home security, but I ask that private spaces used during overnight stays not be monitored. For safety reasons, I’m unable to walk large dogs that are reactive or aggressive toward people or other animals. Please share any leash reactivity or behavioral concerns in advance so we can ensure a safe and positive experience. Clear instructions, emergency contacts, and home access details are requested prior to each stay to ensure everything goes smoothly.
Ratings and reviews
Lauren is the best, truly makes being away from the dogs easy.
Lauren did amazing job watching our two dogs! She was attentive and the dogs were happy when we got home! She also was an excellent house guest, bringing in mail and packages. One of our dogs has sundowners and Lauren did a wonderful job with her! I highly recommend Lauren and will definitely request her again!
Lauren saved me for a last minute drop in! She gave my dog his dinner and hung out with him for a little. He had a great time. Definitely would use Lauren again!
Amazing care as always!
Lauren was communicative, friendly, so warm and sweet with Harper & Apollo. Absolutely will be using again!
Lauren is such a sweetheart! She came over for our first meet & greet and walk & immediately my dog loved her! We talked through all the things for Gidget & then after Lauren took her on a walk to get a feel for how Gidget is and she came back a happy pup! Looking forward to having Lauren look after my girl with full confidence that she will be treated just like family ❤️
