My schedule is very flexible at the moment which means I’m able to make your animal a top priority. I work at a local restaurant but my shifts aren’t long, at most I’ll be out of the house for five to six hours.

Safety, trust & environment

I love getting to know each pet, what their needs are, and how to best meet those needs while I care for them. If tons of love and snuggles are required I’m happy to oblige, but I also understand the different boundaries of each individual animal and how to navigate them to earn trust. My dog Pongo gets 4-5 walks per day, some are sniff walks for mental exercise, and others are to throw a stick in the woods for him to let some energy out.

Information Lauren T. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know about any walking habits and preferences, favorite toys, and if we should avoid any specific kinds of dogs or areas. Also please alert me about medications and any dietary restrictions.

A typical day

Me and Pongo love going into the woods and admiring the mushrooms, there are so many wilderness trails to explore in Kitsap. If your dog loves the water we have plenty of beautiful beach spots to go and throw a ball or stick around.

Reliable, warm, active pet sitter!

Pet care experience

I’m a farm raised girl with years of animal care practice, dogs, cats, chickens, horses, goats, and donkeys. I’ve always had pets in my life and claimed the role of family dog trainer. Pets are my happy place, and I love spending time loving on dogs and cats so their owner feels more comfortable leaving home. My dog Pongo is very special to me and I know the pain of leaving him behind when it’s necessary, and also know the joy of finding someone with a big heart to care for him when I’m gone. I’m that girl with the big heart that will love and care for your furry loved ones so you can be comfortable leaving home knowing they’re well cared for. I spent a year volunteering at West Sound Wildlife which gave me experience tending to wounded animals. I’m well versed in giving animals medications and following strict diets.

I have a very big, excitable and dopey doodle. Lauren did an amazing job with his high puppy energy and his leash pulling, even though they were probably pretty close in weight. She worked on his problem behaviors and would check in each walk and let me know how he did, if he had a bowel movement, or if anything was unusual. She was extremely trustworthy, entering my home while I was at work, I had no concerns. The most important opinion of Lauren is obviously my fur baby’s. Bandit LOVES Lauren. Although we no longer need a dog walker due to changes in our work schedules, Bandit still gets excited every morning when he walks on the trails by her home, even though he hasn’t seen her for several months. The dog and I recommend Lauren 100/100!!!!

Lauren is really amazing! I needed her on a moment’s notice to help me with my two dogs and not only did she take care of the basics but she spent extra time with them when she saw that they needed some play time. I will definitely book Lauren again!
