Charlie’s Senior/Small Pup Haven

Pet care experience

Note*: I’m now in a condo with my recently blind senior pup Charlie, so I’m only able to take low-key small/medium sized dogs who aren’t super vocal:). Thank you!! If you want a calm environment for your pup, we’re the place to be! No kids, no other dog guests…only me and my 14yo pup Charlie. I adopted Charlie six years ago—a 14 year old poodle mix. Charlie came to me with heartworm and a host of other medical issues. Initially he was full of anxiety, but now is super chill and comfortable--he has made my life so much better! Charlie loves having other low-key pups around. I work Monday-Friday as a nurse case manager and mostly work from home. My nursing background is helpful with an older dog (or any dog for that matter!). I definitely will be super thorough about care for your dog, and will try to mimic how you do things, because I know I'd want the same! In my free time I volunteer with several of the local dog rescues. Charlie has full reign of the condo during the day, but I’m open to what makes sense for your dog. I don't have a yard, so I'll walk the pups frequently. Charlie and I would love to hang out with your dog!

Lauren took excellent care of my older pup! She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated throughout the stay.

Lauren is AMAZING! She was so good with our dog Zeke, sent lots of pics and updates, was super accommodating and easy to work with. You can tell she truly cares about the pet's she is watching. Nice to know our dog has a home away from home if we ever need to leave town :)

Lauren was great with Lucy. Regular updates and extra care when our doggy had some tummy troubles. Will definitely look to her again.

She was so wonderful with my rescue dog. He was hoarded with 89 other dogs and has PTSD. Lauren was calm and patient. Upon returning my dog was all curled up in a chair. Remy will be returning. Thank you Lauren !

Information Lauren S. would like to know about your pet

-Smaller pup and not frequent vocalizer need due to being in a condo and my work from home job. -My dog Charlie is pretty low key and is blind, so a lower energy pup that is not aggressive is necessary for us. -I prefer having meet and greets to make sure it's a good fit. -Is your dog up-to-date on immunizations and heartworm/flea preventatives? -Do they have a certain schedule, likes/dislikes, etc? -As much info as you can provide is great— and let me know if you have questions/concerns!

A typical day

I have a great neighborhood for walking, and great neighbors. I'm right by Tower Grove Park, so that's ideal. We also will have lots of chill time!
