Trustworthy, Prompt & Communicative

Pet care experience

For almost 10 years now, I have taken care of dogs for friends and family - whether just too busy with work for a day or two or they are on vacation for up to two weeks! Between my 2 sisters and parents, my family has a total of 8 dogs so I’ve grown familiar with different breeds and adapt to each pet’s specific needs. I’m also great at implementing your same commands for your dog so the training can remain consistent even while you’re away.

I booked Lauren for two days while I was traveling for a very important out of town work project. She was over 2 hours late for the first walk and didn’t come back for the second evening walk nor spend the night with my pets like we agreed. Thankfully my security cameras captured everything so I was able to get in touch with my nephew to take over. Lauren was not communicative, reliable, or prompt and I do not recommend hiring Lauren for any pet needs.

I can't say enough great things about the care that Lauren provides for my 4 dogs every time I go on vacation or have to work late. The dogs get excited when they see her, and it puts my mind at ease knowing they are in safe hands. They get ample time out, and I just love the photo updates. It's not just a quick walk, and then she's gone. They literally get enough playtime to exert the energy that builds up sitting at home all day. You can clearly see she cares deeply for her little pup clients, and that makes us very happy customers. Even with a special needs senior dog, she followed instructions perfectly. We will continue to use Lauren and highly recommend her as a reliant and caring dog caregiver.

I no longer worry when leaving my pups for a weekend or even a month. My husband and I travel a lot and Lauren is a godsend. She constantly sends me pictures and updates on how the dogs are, and gives them loads of snuggles and love. I swear my three dogs don’t even miss me while I’m gone! Thank you Lauren for allowing us to freely travel while still being dog parents ! -Jeanna Harding

Lauren has watched my pit/Great Dane pup regularly over the last two years since we got him! He is full of energy and such a lover. He just loves Lauren because she is always so attentive to him and plays catch with him outside for as long as he needs. It’s always a great when she spends time with him because he is tuckered out and ready to rest by the time we return home. I am thankful for Lauren for giving my very needy boy all the attention he needs to get all that energy out! She loves dogs so much and it is evident in the way she treats my giant pup and in the way he lights up when he sees her walk in the door!

Safety, trust & environment

I want to make sure that both you and your dog feel the most comfortable with me. For all dogs that I’ve cared for, I always send daily “pupdates” to the owner that include pictures and videos so you can rest assured that your pet is getting all of the love!

Information Lauren S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special behaviors that I should pay attention to when they are greeting/playing with other dogs when on a walk or at the park. I want to provide a fun and safe experience possible.

A typical day

Fort Lauderdale is such a dog-friendly place so I really enjoy having the dogs with me whenever possible! I’m within walking distance to the beach, around my neighborhood with lots of grass and trees, or over to Snyder Dog Park. I’m also quite patient to teach dogs new tricks - from a simple “stay” to “roll over” to “whisper”.

I’m currently working 2 days remotely and 3 days in office Mon-Fri. My job is also very flexible where I can step out of the office to check on your dog. I love taking the dogs I care for on long walks or to the local dog park - depending on your dogs age, health, and energy level of course. I live a pretty active lifestyle and like to bring the dog along with me if I can so they can get some energy out (and if you are comfortable with it).
