Availability
I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care. Because I set my own schedule, I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, feedings, medication schedules, and plenty of attention whenever your pet needs it. This flexibility helps ensure pets stay on their normal routine and receive consistent care and companionship. **My weekday availability is limited between 12:30–1:30 PM Monday–Friday, and 11:30-2:30 PM on Wednesdays and Thursdays due to recurring clients. I’m still happy to accommodate drop-ins or one-time walks when my schedule allows—please feel free to reach out!

Information Lauren S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your animals need any special care so I can help give them the love and attention they need! I can’t wait to meet them!
A typical day
Your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and love while they’re with me! Depending on their personality and energy level, we can enjoy walks around the neighborhood, play fetch or tug-of-war, and spend time exploring outside. I also love incorporating enrichment activities like puzzle toys, basic training reinforcement with treats, and interactive play to keep them mentally stimulated. If your pet prefers a slower pace, I’m just as happy to spend time relaxing with them, giving lots of pets and cuddles so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I always tailor activities to what your pet enjoys most so they feel happy, exercised, and cared for.

Pet care experience
I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for them has always been a big part of who I am. I grew up with Labrador Retrievers and I have 2 cats right now. One is 9 and one is 17. Being around dogs and cats for so many years has made me very comfortable caring for different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable when their owners are away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or just relaxing and getting attention, I’m happy to match their routine and give them the care they’re used to at home. I will treat your animal like one of my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, patience, and love while you’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel happy and secure and to give owners peace of mind knowing their animals are in good hands.
