Teacher on break with open schedule

Pet care experience

Feel bad leaving your best friend at home? WELL FEAR NO MORE :) I have grown up with 3 golden retrievers, but have learned to love every dog breed out there! I have 2 years experience with dog care, and just recently raised a puppy....so I am very aware of all the in's and out's of both childhood and adulthood! I live in an apartment with no backyard, so I do prefer to take your best friend on a long walk or to a dog park (with permission) to get their exercise for the day. I am a second grade teacher with a summer break from June to September so availability will be full time starting June 15th! I am very personable and would be happy to give you updates throughout the day! I know how hard it can be to leave your pet for the day (or longer) so I will do everything I can to make it easier for not just you but also your best friend!!

Lauren is a close friend of mine who has a golden retriever puppy of her own that she loves and cares for dearly! She's knowledgeable in training and caring for animals, dogs especially, and has grown up with pets all her life. She's also currently a second grade teacher, so nothing poses too much of a challenge for her. Most importantly she's a kind, sociable, thoughtful person, who you can truly trust to watch over your animal.

Information Lauren S. would like to know about your pet

I do prefer golden retrievers, labs, and larger breeds, but I am willing to pet sit any. I would like to meet with the dog and the owner beforehand, to gain knowledge on formal information like: allergies, specific behaviors, injuries, past medical history, etc. I would also like to gain knowledge on informal information such as: preferred treats, permission to go to a dog park/walk around the city, energy level, etc.

A typical day

There is nothing better than coming home to a tired dog after a long day of work.. so don't you worry, I will keep your best friend busy for the majority of the time that I am with them! I love taking walks around the city where the sidewalks are big and the crowds are small. With permission, we will go to a dog park and play as much fetch as our legs can handle!! But the fun won't stop when we go back home. If your best friend still has some energy left, we will practice some basic training skills and if we're lucky enough be rewarded with a nice frozen peanut butter treat! The fun never stops!!!
