Your Big Dog & Special Care Expert

We all know big dogs are special, so anyone taking care of your dog(s) should have big dog experience. I have life long experience with Danes, but in the last 5 years have worked with a Big Dog rescue, transporting and fostering Danes, Mastiffs, St. Bernards, Great Pyrenees. Bully's and mixes. I have handled special diets, medication and medical issues. I work with them to trust, play and learn basic manners. I'd love to spend time with you special dog.

Lauren took great care of my dog while I traveled internationally. She sent frequent updates and photos, which were great to receive.

Lauren was amazing with my pup! She came home super happy and tired. Sent lots of updates and pictures and was extremely responsive and easy to work with! Will absolutely use her again and highly recommend Lauren for any of your rover needs. Thanks Lauren!

I can’t express how incredibly comforted and grateful I am to have Lauren care for my dog Penny. She has taken such amazing care of Penny when I travel and sends the sweetest daily updates. Penny has the best time on squirrel and rabbit patrol, gets lots of exercise, and truly loves Lauren. We will always book with her again and again!

Lauren is great with Kinley! She keeps me updated & makes sure we're both comfortable (both Kinley & I 😃 ) while I travel for work. Will definitely keep using her.

Lauren took great care of my dog, Moose! She sent me lots of photos and updates. He had a blast playing fetch in her yard and chasing squirrels. Lauren will be our first call the next time Moose needs someone to look after him.

Schedule

I work at home - my office in the basement. We usually walk in the mornings and play in my large yard over lunch. I am walking distance to Cook Park. I do not have my own dogs, at this time, so can handle dogs who would rather be alone. Dogs can use their crate or a dog bed or the couch for sleeping.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large back and side yard (by Denver standards) with a 6' fence - except a small area where it is 5' with lilac trees keeping dogs from that area of the fence. There is a fenced empty lot next door. The yard has two big trees (to avoid the sun) and a patio (to lay in the sun). I usually take only one dog (for dog reactive dogs) but am happy to take multiple dogs if they live together.

A typical day

About 7am (or when needed) your dog goes out in the backyard. Comes in for breakfast. 9am is a walk. I work on my computer until noon - when we play in the yard - chase balls, squirrels or just run around for 30-60 min. Another walk or run around the yard before 4pm. And if the Zoomies hit - we are out in the backyard.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs. The dog can get plenty of exercise in the backyard, if you would rather not have them walked (leash or dog/people reactive). I usually only take one dog (for dog reactive dogs) but am happy to take multiple dogs if they live together.
