Loving beach home for your pup!

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Lauren and I live in a house on Alki Beach. I have a very sweet lab named Scarlett, who loves to play and have guests over. I also have the worlds friendliest orange Tabby, who spends most days and nights protecting the neighborhood from mice. Your dog will fit right in. I will walk your dog and take it to the local dog park, as well as give you lots of photo updates. A happy home is one with dogs! Cheers! Lauren About this sitter: My name is Lauren. I'm a born and raised West Seattle resident. I grew up with dogs and have always had one. I love dogs very much and am very passionate about them. I love going on walks and talking to people about their canines. Being able to provide a safe and fun environment for dogs is very important, and something I pride myself on having. Along with that my dog Scarlett loves to play and dog sitting would be a delight for both of us. Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs as long as I can remember. I grew up with a Brittany Spaniel who I loved more than anything. After her I had a Springer Spaniel who currently lives with my parents. When I moved out on my own I got Scarlett my little runt black lab who makes my life better and better. I have trained her well and she is very sweet and well behaved. I am very interested in Rover.com to have playmate for my dog and well as an opportunity to get to know a new animal. About my yard My home has an unfenced courtyard. Ideal for potty breaks. As well as the beach right across the street. My experience administering medication Absolutely. My own dog was on epilepsy medicine taking 2 pills daily. So giving meds to dogs is no problem. I have a yard, though it is not fenced. I’ll take your dog and my own on frequent walks on leash. I will also always ask if your dog is a flight risk, or OK off leash. I will also go to the dog park as often as you would like me to. I rarely watch more than one dog at a time, and will always let you know if there will be an overlap.

Lauren took great care of Ozzy. We especially enjoyed the pics she sent during his stay! It was nice to see his face while we were away on vacation.

Lauren's awesome. Lovely place right next to the beach for the dog to run, and she's very nice and patient. You can tell Lauren genuinely loves dogs. Looking forward to having her watch Malloy again soon.

Information Lauren S. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences. My only concern would be hoping your dog is friendly with people, my pets, and that your dog can be controlled on a leash.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I live on Alki Beach so a daily walk along the beach is ideal for dogs. There is also a dog park about half a mile away I frequent. Your dog's sleeping arrangement I have 2 dog beds in the living room, your dog can sleep there in I can bring the dog bed into my bedroom and your pooch may sleep there too. I also have a dog kennel if necessary. Time I'll spend with your dog I work 4-5 days a week. I work in a restaurant so my shifts are never longer than 5 so I will have lots of time with your dog. Time for walks, play, and naps.
