Pet care experience

When you book with me, you're getting a true animal lover. I not only have had dogs and cats my whole life, I've also had guinea pigs, rabbits, ducks, etc. I am an avid animal lover! I have been involved in pet rescue for over 20 years and have fostered 42 puppies helping to find them homes during that time. (I'm great with puppies and will gladly watch a little one). I have also had senior dogs in my care. If you and your dog need personalized care, please reach out to me. I'm also an experienced pet care professional. I ran my own pet sitting business and boarding business for 4 years in Virginia before I moving here 8 years ago. I'm not only great at providing animals with care, I provide excellent customer service as well. I still have some clients here in San Diego that won't leave their pups anywhere else but with me, and I have references if you're interested. I understand how hard it is to leave your beloved family member and I love giving pet owners peace of mind. I know I appreciate that with my own pup.

We had Lauren come walk our dogs again because we loved her so much the first three times. The last time she left them some Christmas snacks, which was very sweet! She is an awesome walker and I’m so grateful for her!

I have lots of walking area in a quiet neighborhood and lots of parks and the beach nearby to get plenty of exercise as needed. My dog is very friendly and very used to having house guests! Happy to crate your dog if you prefer and they are used to it. I'm usually not gone more that a couple hours during the day for appointments, etc.

Information Lauren V. would like to know about your pet

My home and neighborhood are VERY dog friendly. Lots of parks nearby and the dog beach too. Plenty of dog interaction if needed. My dogs are very social and love meeting new pups! I work from home so your dog will get lots of love and exercise. My full attention will be devoted to your dog and their needs. Whatever their usual routine is like, I will do my best to replicate it, and I’ll make sure they get tons of affection, play, and rest.

A typical day

When a dog is in my care I like to keep to their regular schedules and expectations in order to make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible. Please inform me of all their routines, medical needs, training cues, food preferences, and anything else you want me to know. I fully believe that an exercised dog is a happy dog. We'll go on excursions to the dog beach near me, dog parks, and even a big fenced in ball field that my dog loves.
