Happy pet friend in NE London

Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm a bubbly, outdoorsy person who would love the company of a dog companion to explore many outdoor spaces with! I am a supporting artist (background actor) in film & TV, which means that I luckily have quite a flexible and relaxed schedule. I've lived in North East London for nine years now, and love the local green spaces near me so much. I'm constantly discovering beautiful places nearby, and I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to frolic with a dog pal whilst exploring some of these spaces! I go with my friends' on walks with their dogs' whenever I can. I would love the opportunity to look after a doggie to walk and play with! I unfortunately cannot have a dog of my own for a number of reasons, although I would love one. I moved to North East London seven years ago, and know that there is still so much of the surrounding area I have not ventured to yet, which is partly why I would love to look after a dog to explore the local parks and forests with, to avoid wandering around like a loner and to have a furry outdoors/indoors companion. I currently work part-time, on and off, mostly on weekdays but should always have plenty of notice about availability. Having a dog to play and walk with as a way of getting out of the house, would be hugely enjoyable and helpful! My family and I owned a lovely, scruffy dog, Doug, a West Highland Terrier, who due to my moving away and my parents' change in work location, has since been taken on by a loving family friend. The good news is we still get to see Doug whenever we like and he has a great life with his new owner. I shared responsibility for Doug whilst at home, taking him for long walks to his favourite places, (the beach, the park, everywhere!), playing with him for ages in the garden, and lots of cuddling up with him on the sofa. He is my best dog friend but I love all dogs! Please feel free to get in contact. Thanks! I'm currently working part-time, so have lots of free time to spend with a doggo! I’m available for sitting on weekends, and weekdays but will always let people know if plans change. I have a medium sized private garden with plenty of grass that is nicely secured with a fence. We also have a large downstairs area (kitchen/diner & living room) for doggies to spin around in circles in or somewhere nice to curl up on the sofa. We have recently got a cat in 2023, unexpected but lovely! So if you have a dog that is friendly with cats, I'd be more than happy to board them at mine, if that's easier. But if not, I can be available for walks, drop-ins and house sitting as well.

Lauren was great, good comms and punctual. Weston, our 9 month Vizsla, settled really quickly, which was very much down to Lauren’s approach and calm demeanour. Will be booking again, subject to availability etc.

Lauren was absolutely brilliant with our cockapoo, Kiki. We felt completely confident leaving Kiki with Lauren because she went out of her way to make her feel comfortable and safe. We could not have found someone better to come and dog sit for us and we will definitely be asking Lauren to come back :)

Judging by the photos Bruce had a great day with Lauren and I’m sure would love to see her again. Great communication too. Thanks Lauren!

Betty absolutely loved her stay with Lauren and I will definitely use her again. Lauren sent me photos throughout the day and kept me updated. Thanks so much!

I have a fenced grassy garden and plenty of space for your pet(s) to bounce and whizz around. I do now own a cat as well but she is normally out most of the day exploring. If you'd rather, and your dog is friendly with cats, I can happily board them at my home. Before adopting our cat I had lots of regular doggie friends coming to stay at ours.

Information Lauren S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any quirks or any special dietary requirements. My family dog had a fairly strict diet because he had sensitive skin, so we were very careful with what we fed him. I also have friends' whose dogs go mad for squirrels and cats, so know to be cautious when entering fluffy tail territory.

A typical day

I love to go for long walks out into Epping Forest. I often take a pair of binoculars with me because I really enjoy bird watching, as well. It would be so lovely to have a dog to explore and admire nature with. I see so many nice dogs on my walks and would love to have someone furry to keep me company for the journey too.
