Pet care experience
Hi, I'm LT! I have experience working with mixed-breeds, little chi-poos to pitbull puppies and boxers and everything in between. If your dog is high energy, I would love to take them on a run or jog around the block and play games outside. If your pup likes to play with other dogs, we can go to the dog park. I have worked with dogs of all ages and have volunteered in shelters, and I understand how to accommodate high-energy or sensitive pups. I do home visits and dog walks, and the occasional home stay. Currently my partner and I have a male American Akita who does not get along with most dogs, so I do not introduce him to my clients (and their dogs) as a rule. This is also why I do not do boarding. However, I would love to stay in your home (without my dog) if and when you need someone there! I am a RYT-500 certified yoga instructor new to Denver area. I am teaching part-time for several studios in the area, which means I do not work a traditional 8-5 schedule. This gives me a lot of flexibility to meet you and your pupper's needs, and I will do anything it takes to make sure your pup has fun, stays safe, and remains as relaxed as possible while you are away. Please contact me with any questions you may have! I would love to get to know you and your furry friend. I am currently working part time and taking care of my own pup, Kona. I typically work in the mornings and early afternoon until 2 PM, but I am super flexible and can squeeze in walks on most days of the week, in between meetings, etc. Because of his breed, my dog requires a lot of structure. He is only allowed on furniture when invited, and is not allowed to bark at strangers. He has spent several weeks in doggy boot camp, and we try to maintain the work that he/we put in there. We do frequent "trainings" while on walks or in unfamiliar settings (like parking lots or Home Depot). In client's homes, I will always abide by the rules of the household. I like to remain calm, to help the animals be calm as well. Every dog is different, and every dog requires different rules, and so each animal will be cared for according to their unique needs. However on walks, I like to err on the side of structure for safety reasons. I do not tolerate pulling and will work patiently with your dog to help them relax and learn friendly walking etiquette.
Reviews
I scheduled drop-in visits with Lauren for my two cats. She sent me awesome updates with pictures each day so I knew they kitties were doing well. She was amazingly attentive and helpful... The cats were super mischievous and started figuring out how to break into the cabinets to get their treats!! Lauren was very patient and ensured everything was cleaned up and securely put away. I'd highly recommend Lauren as a petsitter - she understands the concerns of a pet parent and you can tell she truly cares about making sure the pets are happy & healthy, giving you peace of mind while away!
Lauren was INCREDIBLE! This was the first time we used Rover and our pup can be finicky with new people. He loved Lauren - she stayed at our home, walked him multiple times a day, treated him so well and our favorite part was when we’d get daily updates from her from Riley’s perspective and tons of photos!! We will gladly book her again!
Lauren was great. She was on time & we got to chat for a bit about my dogs and their habits. She seems super responsible and kind. We all enjoyed meeting her. I think she is a good fit for my pets.
Lauren was great with the dogs and took time to come meet them before the actual sitting. She was very flexible when the original schedule changed. Would book again.

Please let me know if there are any medical concerns (allergies, recent surgeries, etc.) I need to be made aware of. Also, please let me know the general size of your dog (small, medium, large), and if you have more than one pet. If you have specific rules in your home, please let me know.
A typical day
If you live by a park, we will find it! If your pup likes to be social, we will find a dog park to visit to burn off some energy and make new friends! If your pup prefers to stay mellow, we will go outside and hangout in the grass with a good book, or curl up on the couch and watch a movie. I used to live in Southern California and used to bring dogs to a local dog beach. I look forward to finding more special spots in greater Denver!
