Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of animals for over 20 years. I have a 20 year old cat that lives upstairs and a 5 year old Border Aussie that loves making new best friends. We’ve lived all over the US and have welcomed all types of fur animals into our home. The office dog at my former job turned into Bentley’s best friend and one of my regular clients.

Oreo had such a great time at Lauren’s! She sent great pics and updates and felt Oreo was very well cared for. We will definitely be back!

Lauren takes wonderful care of Annie. She gives her the perfect ratio of stimulation/snuggles and understand her personality. Bentley is a very good dog who plays gently or leaves Annie alone entirely, as appropriate. We already have plans to return.

Lauren was great to communicate with and our dog had a great time staying with her and her dog Bentley.

Information Lauren S. would like to know about your pet

I always request a meet and greet with your dog and Bentley. I want to ensure both dogs will get along but also that you can see where your dog will stay while you’re gone. I want you to feel at ease while you’re away. Your dog is your child and should be treated with as much love. I will ask if its okay to take your dog to the local dog park and how they interact with other dogs otherwise, we will visit the tennis courts for free range run play. Other area of concerns are any foods I should avoid (treat wise) and if they are allowed on furniture. I respect your rules at home and don’t want them to develop habits.

A typical day

A typical day pending on the dog’s energy can include a visit to the dog park across the street first thing in the morning and after work. Lunch breaks include a walk around the neighborhood. The remainder of the say, your dog can be found either keeping me company in my home office playing with toys or napping downstairs.
