Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, capable & w. Belle Love!
Belle Love = I had a very special Great Dane named Belle (affectionately known as Belle Belle) for 10 years who passed in 2022. She taught me how to listen, hear and communicate with animals. Sure, some will say it’s always been there and in me - I grew up with rescues, we trained them, we loved on them, nourished them, healed them, and adventured with them, but Belle taught me the details and opened me up to the exchange that happens between us and them. I was humbled to take care of her until her last breath here and today I am able to share with others what she gave me. Additionally along the way I’ve fostered and trained pups and a few felines until they were ready for their forever homes and volunteer at a farm sanctuary. I can walk, check in with, support training instruction and nutrition plans and overall take care of your animal when you're away. I’m capable of helping with the more sensitive ones too, including doing meds, syringes, etc…and with the households where the pups or seniors may need a little more TLC. Look forward to meeting you all soon! In Belle Belle love, Lauren
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I will follow your routine with your animal and use crate methods if that's what you use, grazing or scheduled feed times, separating or giving space to combo pet homes as necessary. I’m comfortable with transport and adventures as long as I have your expressed permission. I have an inventory checklist to gather all the information I need so I have a better understanding of your pet's favorites, their allergies, and other important information too!
Ratings and reviews
Repeat clients and will absolutely work with Lauren again! She's excellent with our overly excited 70lb dog and keeps our house nice and tidy. Our dog loves Lauren and we do to!
Lauren was wonderful! A true expert, she was fantastic with our very large puppy. We got just the right amount of communication to know our girl was well cared for without feeling guilty for not bringing her on vacation. Our pup absolutely LOVED being at home instead of boarding and we'll definitely reach out to Lauren again!
Lauren stayed with our dog dog Kobe for three nights and was wonderful! She took great care of him and I can tell he enjoyed her company. We look forward to reaching out to Lauren for our future dog-sitting needs!
I can’t speak highly enough of Lauren! My dog Tanger loves their walks and always comes home happy, healthy and well-exercised. Lauren is not only reliable and professional, but she has a real passion for animals and takes the time to understand each one’s needs. I never worry when I’m away, because I know Tanger is being well taken care of. I highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful animal caretaker or walker.
Lauren has pet sat for my family numerous times. Lauren treats my dogs like family and is the #1 choice for our long extended trips.
Lauren Vance is the absolute best. She is definitely a dog whisperer. She seems to have a unique relationship with her animal friends. She is patient, loving and firm with her charges. I'm so happy to recommend Lauren. Your dog will thank you. 👍

Schedule
I specialize in pets who may need some extra tlc in their journey. Maybe they’ve just overcome an illness, in the middle of pup training, have special dietary needs, struggle with separation anxiety. As a result, agreed upon for overnight and/or extended stays as appropriate at your home are more ideal. To be fair to you and your pet I will only take on 3 - 4 regular clients, but happy to take on the last minute and occasional bookings if my calendar is open.
