Ratings and reviews
Lauren is great! She house sat for me and took care of my pup for a few days. She took great care of him and was responsive to my texts while I was away. Lauren was so responsible and left my house spotless when she left. I will definitely be booking with Lauren again!
Lauren did a fantastic job house sitting and taking care of our two dogs! I tend to be a nervous dog parent when I leave my dogs but Lauren did a great job keeping me updated on how they were doing and keeping them on their normal routine. We will definitely use her again!
Lauren came over for a meet and greet. She’s very nice, friendly, and easy to get to know. She immediately greeted Sally when she walked into the house. 💜 She kept in contact with us and sent pictures of Sally. I felt very at ease with Lauren caring for our senior dog. We have already booked again!
Lauren did fantastic with our 2 pomskies and two cats. She sent plenty of updates and photos! We could not have had a better experience! We will ask her to sit for them again!
Lauren was fantastic with our dogs. She sent us updates and pictures while watching our dogs in our home. The dogs loved the time with her and she left the house spotless. She is a thoughtful and wonderful woman. We will book with her again.
Lauren was great with our boys! She gave daily check-ins and shared photos everyday which gave such peace of mind! She was so flexible and attentive. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again or recommend her to anyone!
