I will treat your pet like my own!
Pet care experience
I have been working with dogs for almost 6 years! Studying dog training and behavior is also a passion of mine, and I have been focused on these studies for the past two years. I have had the most rewarding experiences with puppy training, working with rescues, sick/recovering pups, and dogs with behavioral issues. I will do whatever I can to cater to your pups needs. For 2 years, I worked for Veils and Tails in Rochester, NY as an event handler for weddings. This involved pup transportation, for which I have distraction prevention accessories: a large back seat “hammock” for comfort and stability, as well as "head-rest bungee" seat belts for pups if needed (must have appropriate harness). Vehicle safety information is provided prior to any transports. (Reference: Center for Pet Safety). Price per visit may vary based on needs, distance, and frequency. Discounted daily or weekly rates are available for consistent walks/drop-ins!
Reviews
Lauren was very professional, caring and attentive. Would recommend her!
I've used Lauren now for years!!!! She has such a spirit about her that my dog is obsessed with. She is one of the most hardworking and kind person I've ever met. I don't trust many people with my dog. But lauren is one who time after time has shown me how much she loves my dog. And my dog is truly obsessed with her. High HIGHLY recommended. I will forever use lauren as my dog walker.
Lauren was incredible! We booked her just a few weeks out and are so incredibly lucky to have her for our two dogs. She had so much experience taking care of dogs and even offered to train them a bit during her stay. She made it a priority to know every little thing about our dogs so that she could maintain their routines to the best of her abilities. Her daily check-ins were always timely. Additionally, when we returned, we not only found a nice note recapping her stay but also two drawings of our dogs. We will certainly reach back out to Lauren for any future stays needed!
Lauren has watched our frequently temperamental and socially anxious dog on multiple occasions (our wedding, for a walk and an overnight stay) and we cannot think of another person that we would rather have watch him. She did a great job giving him love, attention and exercise. She made sure everyone was in the loop of communication from our dog to both of us! Would absolutely recommend her for any dog that struggles meeting new friends.
About Lauren S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Entrusting a stranger with your pet can be very nerve wracking, both for you and your pet. I consider myself a “relationship based” pet caretaker, someone that both you AND your pup can trust to keep them safe. I pride myself on consistent communication! This means learning as much as I can about your pet prior to visits, as well as sending clear photos & details about our visit afterwards.
Information Lauren S. would like to know about your pet
Please provide vet information, and let me know if your pet has any known allergies, food sensitivities, medical conditions, takes any medication, or has any known triggers (ex. squirrels, trucks, etc. - please describe reaction). Please communicate any concerns you may have! Extra photos and details throughout longer visits can absolutely be provided.
A typical day
My favorite activities to do with pups include "brain games” (cognitive enrichment), going for walks/runs around the neighborhood or on a trail, or visiting a Sniff Spot! During car rides, I love to stop for a treat at Starbucks for pets who enjoy puppuccinos.

I recently relocated to this area - and am currently completing my final year of college through online courses, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule!
