Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely and create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels secure.

Information Lauren S. would like to know about your pet

Before watching your pet, I’d love to know their daily routine, any allergies or health issues, how they get along with other dogs, and anything that helps them feel safe and happy. The more I know, the better care I can give!

A typical day

We’ll start with a walk or playtime, then relax with cuddles and toys throughout the day. I will follow your routine, give lots of love, and send updates!

Lauren was able to last minute come do a drop in visit for my puppy AND also helped clean up the mess my Aussie (read: ausshole) left too 😒. All three pups got some mid day lovins & I’m so grateful!
