Vanderbilt Grad Student, Loves Dogs

Pet care experience

At the tender age of ten, I adopted my first puppy, igniting what would prove to be an all-consuming love of dogs, nearly bordering on obsession. My love for canines of all shapes and sizes has only grown exponentially over the years, and though I'm not at a place in life that allows me to own a dog, much less give them the care they deserve, I would relish the chance to get a little fur therapy on the side! Experienced with dogs of all sizes, breeds, energy levels, temperaments, and conditions of healthiness, and having fostered, healed, and subsequently rehomed a surfeit of strays, I can attest to a fair degree of comfort with almost every dog! Even more than that, I absolutely love them, and would so enjoy caring for yours!

Lauren was great with our two cavapoo puppies! We felt very comfortable leaving our pups with her and will definitely reach out to Lauren for future stays. Thank you!

Lauren did a superb job with HoneyBear despite the subfreezing temperatures. We look forward to working with her again.

Lauren took great care of my pup and left the apartment super-clean. She kept me updated during the stay and was clear on details. It's clear that Lauren cares a lot about the animals she takes care of.

So happy to have found Lauren. We were able to have an amazing vacation with no worries about our baby girl. Lauren stayed in our home and was great about texting us and sending pics. We returned to nice clean smell, dishes in the dishwasher, linens in the dryer and everything in order. Such a pleasamt experience and relieved to know we will be well taken care of on future adventures......

Information Lauren S. would like to know about your pet

Having information on their typical bathroom and feeding schedule would be beneficial, as would any firm rules you enforce (and would like me to enforce) in regards to their behavior--if you crate them, if they're allowed on furniture, their manners on walks, etc. I would also like to know their comfort level with strangers, other dogs, and cats ahead of time, that way if we do go out to the park, I'm prepared to avoid or even defuse potentially edgy situations if need be! Beyond that, if your dog has any specific medical needs, please let me know! I'm comfortable and well-versed in a variety of canine medical issues, especially those involving skin and ear infections, dietary restrictions, and pain management, and rest assured I'll do everything in my power to ensure your puppy is as well-tended and provided for as they would be with you!

A typical day

If you're comfortable with me taking your dog on a car ride, I would enjoy going taking them to a local park to splash in the pond and pester the local waterfowl, explore the surrounding underbrush, play with a squeaky toy or tennis ball, and maybe end our jaunt with a Puppuccino from Starbucks!
