Information Lauren S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what kinds of activities your pup enjoys! Also, if they have any sensitivities related to being touched, other doggies, kids, etc. I like to know their boundaries so I can make sure they’re respected!

A typical day

I live next to a quiet, local park and am a life long hiker (former guide!). I love to take pups for hikes to give them - and me - lots of exercise and chances to explore.

Lauren S.'s Neighborhood

Responsible, flexible dog lover

Pet care experience

I'm a life-long dog owner who recently said goodbye to my soul dog of 13 years. With my abundance of experience, a dog friendly home, and surplus of dog love to give, I’d love to help care for your pouch! I'm responsible, loving, and attentive. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible! I'm easy to get a hold of and a great communicator.

Lauren and family took excellent care of Penny and were communicative throughout. Easy drop off/pickup. Penny was tired the day after which is always a good sign!
