Pet care experience
Growing up, my family has always had pets whether they were dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, hermit crabs or fish. I love animals dearly and would be happy to care for your pets during the day when their beloved ones are away from the house, even if it is short notice! I will take your pet for a walk or run (if applicable), have them play in the yard, play with them, feed them, give them medicine and even brush/bathe them (just as I do for my own dogs). While pet sitting overnight, I can do cleaning around common areas to ensure the best comfort for your pets and you when you arrive home. (Side note: If your pets are in the process of being trained, please let me know what commands and actions you use as I will also use them to keep consistency. I have trained my own dogs to follow the commands sit, stay, come, lay down, and drop.) For house sittings, I usually arrive by 6 pm and leave by 8am but accommodations can be discussed. You will not have to worry about providing anything for me, I will bring all that I need. During house sittings, you will be able to get ahold of me whenever you would need as I want to assure you your pet is in loving hands. I will also be sure to send you photos and updates to give you peace of mind!
Reviews
Lauren is amazing with my Barkley !! She is very dependable and always takes great care of my boy 😊
Lauren was great! Very communicative and our pups loved her! We came home to healthy happy dogs, which was so comforting. As a bonus, our house was cleaner when we came home than when we left. Completely unexpected, but much appreciated! Highly recommend!
Lauren always takes great care of my Barkley. I never have to worry.
This was my first time booking an overnight sitter for my 11-month old puppy, Phoebe. I was nervous about how she would handle it and feel so lucky to have found Lauren. She connected with Phoebe from the start and did an amazing job caring for her. Lauren was incredibly professional - great communication and attentiveness, polite, trustworthy, flexible, and clearly cares about animals. Both Phoebe and the house were well cared for and I felt like everything was in good hands. I highly recommend Lauren and we look forward to using her services again.

While at your home, I will watch your pets carefully to assure they are being safe while getting to spend time outside. I will be sure to fill all food (if feeding schedule calls for it) and water bowls before I leave to ensure your pets are kept to their usual schedules.
Information Lauren S. would like to know about your pet
I will treat your animals as I treat my own so they can expect lots of love and care! Please let me know if your pet has any aggressive behavior, resource guarding, separation anxiety, is afraid of loud noises, etc. If you have a specific way of comforting or training your pets, please tell me so I can help with consistency. For walks/runs, I prefer to have the dog harnessed but if that is not doable, that is perfectly fine! If your pet is crate trained, let me know if you would prefer them to be crated or have free run so when I leave, I know your animal is comfortable and I am following your routine. I ask if a meet and greet is not possible, please leave a straight forward note explaining such routines/needs.
A typical day
While dog walking/sitting, I will take your pets on walks around the neighborhood or close trails if available/able, play in the yard with toys if able to/if wanted, and I am willing to brush/bathe pets (for an additional fee).

I am a college student and I work part time but I do have availability so be sure to send in a walk/drop in request so I can review it! I aim to be transparent and flexible with all customers about my availability.
