Full time dog lover

Pet care experience

Are you looking for someone who will care for your pet as if they were their own? Well then, I am definitely your girl! Ever since I was little I have had a passion for animals. Your pets happiness and safety is my absolute top priority. I would greatly appreciate the privilege to shower your fur family members with lots of love and personal care while you are away. I am currently a full time college student pursuing my bachelors degree. My schedule is pretty consistent for the most part. On the weekends I am almost always completely free. I have worked in a doggy daycare center and have received training onsite by professionals. I have also personally owned 5 dogs over the course of 15 years and have cared for multiple others. My goal is to make your pets as comfortable as possible while you are away so let me know if there is anything extra that I can do. I am excited and looking forward to meeting you and your pets! Please note, I unfortunately no longer have the means to do over nights. However, I would still LOVE to hang out with your fur baby for a few hours a day, wherever needed. Whether that be walks, visits, feedings, grooming, medications, or just quality time spent with them while you are out.

I would not recommend using Lauren. My dog was left alone for a very long time due to Lauren not providing service as agreed upon. Visits were supposed to be a few hours and she only stayed 5 minutes on multiple occasions.

Lauren arrived on time and communicated well throughout her stay. Unfortunately my dog had never been left at home in someone else’s care for the length of time she was there. My dogs anxiety became too great for her deal with. She did her best to comfort him but I ultimately had to relieve her of her duties and call a family friend that he is familiar with to finish the job. She was very gracious and polite throughout the process. I just need to find someone better equipped or experienced to deal with my dogs behavioral issues next time

I contacted Lauren to do an overnight stay with my dog McGyver. She was very friendly and sweet. She stopped over for a meet and greet and presented herself well. Her phone and text communication was very prompt. She sent me a couple of text messages during her stay, (including a few pictures) to put me at ease and let me know she had arrived on time and my little buddy was ok. She treated our house with respect and I couldn’t even tell anybody was there. I would recommend her.

Lauren has taken care of my dogs on multiple occasions. She is always on time, communicative and professional. She sends me pictures and makes notes to let me know how their time together was spent. One time when I was on a three week business trip, she noticed my dog's face was swollen. She called me and we agreed he needed to go the vet. She made the appointment, took him, and then took excellent care of him while he recovered from oral surgery. She went above and beyond for me and my dog. I highly recommend Lauren.

Information Lauren S. would like to know about your pet

If I will be walking your dog I would like to know how the dog interacts with other animals. If your dog has any signals it gives that is very helpful to know so I can watch for them and be able to respond appropriately. Any commands your dog knows I would love to learn about. How well your dog walks on a leash would be valuable information. If I will be staying with your dog for any extended period of time inside your home, I would like to know what your dog generally enjoys doing on a day to day basis so I can keep their routine as consistent as possible. If your animal is hesitant of anything or has any type of anxieties that it always helpful for me to know so I can help put them at ease during our time together. And of course, any extra information you feel is necessary I would love to hear about. Getting to know your "fur baby" and vise versa is an extremely important aspect that helps both myself and your pets feel more comfortable and have a well rounded experience.

A typical day

For dog walks- I love taking dogs for walks on nature trails, through parks, or any other route that I think the dog would love to explore. I enjoy making my time with the dog full of adventure and fun. I believe they deserve diversity and beautiful scenery just as much as humans do. If the dog has a specific route it knows and likes to go on I am always open to suggestions. I also enjoy playing with all dogs and including any games they may like or throwing their favorite toy for them. At home stays- I would love to take your dogs on walks and include all the listed above items for dog walking's into my stay with them. I generally tailor my activities with the dogs based on their needs. This is something I would like to discuss and assess with you before my stay with your pets. I have taken care of all age ranges and abilities so I will work with you to make a plan so our stay together can be the best experience possible. As I mentioned previously, I do work for a doggy daycare and my shifts are approximately six and a half hours. I may be scheduled to work a shift while I am staying with your dog and in this case would not be able to let them go outside for this duration. In the event that this does occur, I will make sure your pets are fully taken care of directly before and after my shift. I will always let you know before my stay with your pets what days and times my shifts take place so everyone is on the same page. Besides this, my time will be spent taking care of your precious pets.
