Availability
I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and allows me to be very flexible and attentive. I’m able to take breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins, and I can adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs. I’m available for drop-in visits and walks on most weekdays and weekends, as well as most holidays. Because I’m home often, pets in my care get plenty of supervision, attention, and consistency throughout the day.

About Lauren S.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, I provide a calm, structured, and pet safe environment for both dogs and cats, with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time for dogs. I take introductions between animals slowly and thoughtfully based on each pet’s comfort level and temperament, and I make sure cats have their own safe, quiet spaces to relax. Because I have experience with a reactive dog, I am very mindful of body language, boundaries, and creating a low stress environment for all pets. I can separate animals when needed to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. In clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any medications, so they feel secure in their own space. I am attentive to home safety as well, such as locking doors and securing leashes or harnesses, and I always provide updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

Information Lauren S. would like to know about your pet
Before I watch your pet(s), I'd like to know a bit about their eating habits/schedule, walk/exercise schedule, how well they get along with other dogs, how they spend their time while you're away, allergies (if applicable), medications (if applicable), and any other info you find relevant to your pet!
A typical day
Based on your pet's personality and energy level, some fun activities I like to do include hiking, running, walking, visiting parks, socialization time with other animals, and behavioral and obedience training.

Pet care experience
I’m a lifelong pet owner with experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I previously worked at a veterinary clinic, where I cared for pets with a wide range of needs, including feeding, walking, medicating, and supporting animals that were injured, anxious, or recovering. I treat every pet like family and aim to keep them happy, comfortable, and well cared for in their own routine. At home I have a 3-year-old Great Pyrenees who is dog reactive, so I’m very familiar with handling animals with behavioral needs and using patience, structure, and awareness to keep everyone safe and comfortable. I also work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m available for drop-in visits and walks on most weekends and holidays. I’d love to get to know your pet and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!
Reviews
Lauren is amazing and I highly recommend her! She was great with our two dogs - especially with the one that is nervous around people outside of our family. She took great care of them, played outside with them every drop in, and communicated with us each time and sent lots of pictures. Were already planning on using her again for our next trip!
Lauren was amazing! Always on time, very communicative and my dog loved her. Will definitely be reaching out if I need my pup taken care of again
She accommodated last minute. We appreciate that and she did a great job. Would recommend.
We had a wonderful experience with Lauren and would absolutely recommend her! Our cat, Coco, can be unaffectionate at first, but she warmed up to Lauren. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.
