Treats? Cuddles? Let's do this

Pet care experience

I've had dogs (and loved dogs) since I was a kid, but into adulthood I've been the go-to person for taking care of my friends' dogs. In my spare time I volunteer at Oakland Animal Services (OAS) as a big dog volunteer, so have experience with dogs of all reactivity levels. I also have experience catsitting and have my own cat (Chives) who I love very much 💗 I use they/them pronouns :)

Lauren is fantastic and always takes wonderful care of Mini. Mini is always happy and nicely brushed when we get home from a trip. I always enjoy the photos of Mins playing and getting some pets. Lauren is professional and goes above and beyond. I highly recommend her.

Lauren took great care of my somewhat needy pet. Super responsive, reliable and sent lots of pics. Definitely recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

Pet safety is a big priority for me, so I'd like to know in advance how your dog reacts around other dogs (big or small), if they resource guard food or toys, how they respond to any other environmental factors, etc. Then I can work with them within their comfort level to keep them happy and safe.
