Highlights
Pet care experience
Flexible schedule for midday walks!
I am a life-long animal lover and have been caring for pets since I was 11 years old. I have experience walking dogs of all ages, from excitable puppies to slow-moving seniors. I have also cared for dogs of various temperaments. Whether they are bit over-enthusiatic (like mine), timid, anxious, reactive, or completely nonchalant, I'm patient in getting to know each new pet and their personality. I love learning about the little quirks that make them unique. Through getting to know their routines, likes, and dislikes, I'm committed to giving each animal the best possible care. I currently have a dog and a cat, and I love both animals equally (when asked if I'm a dog person or a cat person, I can't choose!). As a self-employed artist, I can flex my daily work schedule to meet your pet's needs. Mid-morning stroll? No problem. Afternoon trip to the park? On it. Evening drop-in visit? I got you covered. I know from experience that scheduling time to make sure you get your dog out and about can be tricky between work and other commitments. I'm happy to help you give your dog the steps and sniffs they need.

Safety, trust & environment
My own dog loves his routine, so I try my best to stick to that. He gets breakfast and dinner at regular times, mental exercise games after meals, regular backyard breaks, 1-2 walks per day, and lots of snuggles and pets. This is the kind of care that I offer to all pets I care for. Specifically for visiting pets and those who I don't know especially well, I make sure to supervise so that they aren't getting into any danger or trouble.
Ratings and reviews
I would highly recommend Lauren to any pet parent looking for a dog walker! She is caring, responsible and trustworthy. As a pet parent and true animal lover, Lauren has lots of experience and would take excellent care of any pet!
Lauren has been our best pet sitter for years. We so appreciate her love and care for our dog Sam. When we're on vacation we know that he's well looked after and that gives us peace of mind. If you're looking for someone who's reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely cares for your pet, there truly is no one better!
