Pet care experience
Hi there, I'm Lauren. I am a counselor and art therapist, with extensive knowledge about human development and dog behavior. Prior to this, I worked in a variety of settings, but most importantly at a dog daycare facility. I have many years of personal experience with animals, and a few years of professional experience. I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and breeds. The bigger and fluffier, the better! I have an Instagram account where I post photos of pet clients: @lauren.does.rover. Feel free to follow it and maybe see your fluffy friend featured! Please let me know if you are uncomfortable with your pet's photo posted online.
Reviews
Amazing. Absolutely the best.
Lauren is an amazing caregiver. She worked with me to take care of my large puppy while I was in the ER and relieved my stress of her being home. Would highly recommend and use her again.
Lauren is reliable and you can tell she loves dogs. I know my dog loved her!
Lauren has been such a blessing to us and our pets! It is such a relief to know when we are gone they are in such great hands. She is so thorough and they love seeing her!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will always clean up after your pet, especially when out and about. As far as safety goes, I will make sure your pet participates in weather-appropriate activities (i.e. no long walks in high heat, proper cold weather gear, and lots of water throughout). I do prefer to utilize leashes at all times, as safety is my number one priority. I have a 100 ft lead for large, open spaces (i.e. the beach) for maximum freedom. Lots of love, scritches, sniffs, and photos are always included. I tend to keep bags, treats, and a slip lead in my car, just in case. I currently live in and own my home, with my husband, and our two dogs. They are pretty cute, if you want to see them, check out their Instagram @sophie_and_lucille ! Outside, my home offers a large yard, with a 6' fence and woods around it. I only have neighbors on one side. Inside, we have multiple gates, and the space to separate the dogs if necessary. Dogs are allowed free use of the toys, beds and couches.
Information Lauren T. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if they have any dietary restrictions or allergies. Do they experience "stranger danger"? Are they leash or fence reactive? Do they like or dislike anything? Are they an escape artist?
A typical day
I am a lover of beach walks, and will happily facilitate a swim if your dog is interested. I believe in positive reinforcement, so treats and snacks are a common occurrence (with parental approval, of course).
Services

Availability
I work part-time, Monday-Thursday. I have the most flexibility in the mornings, and on Friday-Sunday. I have less consistent availability during afternoons and evenings, but I can often work something out.
