Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Dog's Favorite Part of the Day
I've grown up as my neighborhood's dog walker, building years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and needs. I've completed numerous house-sitting stays of up to two weeks, ensuring pets stay comfortable and well cared for in their own homes. l've raised and trained my own puppy, and I also cared for my elderly dog for several years when he was both blind and deaf, which taught me patience, attentiveness, and compassion. I also grew up caring for three cats. In college, I volunteered at my local animal shelter, regularly walking and caring for dogs of all temperaments. I'm kind, fun, and responsible, and I always make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy in my care!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I take time to learn each pet's habits, preferences, and any special needs so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and stress-free.I'm always attentive to safety by securing doors, using proper leash practices, and keeping a clean, calm space.I also stay in close communication with owners at their request, providing updates and photos so they can feel confident and at ease while their pet is in my care.
Ratings and reviews
Very sweet girl and seemed to care for my dog, but, unreliable.
Lauren was a fantastic dog sitter. She took great care of our three dogs, arrived on time, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout her stay. She was communicative, dependable, and respectful of our home. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in her care and would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.
Laurent was super friendly, very communicative, and did a great job a tiring my dog out on a walk. Which was very much needed, he loved it!
Excellent care provided by Lauren as always! Lauren is fantastic!
As someone who is very particular about who cares for my pets, I can honestly say Lauren exceeded every expectation. She was attentive, thorough, and incredibly conscientious in every detail of my pet’s care. Her calm, professional demeanor—clearly shaped by her nursing background—gave me great confidence while I was away. Lauren provided thoughtful updates and went above and beyond to ensure everything was just right. I returned to a happy, relaxed pet and a spotless home. I would wholeheartedly recommend Lauren to anyone seeking exceptional, trustworthy care.
Lauren took exceptional care of our dog while we were away, giving us complete peace of mind. She is incredibly loving, attentive, and responsible. Her background as a nurse clearly shows in the thoughtful, detail-oriented way she cares for pets. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and are so grateful. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet caregiver.

Schedule
I'm currently working three days a week so I have flexibility to bring your pets for walking, play with them, or give them whatever care they need! I am typically available Friday through Monday but I am usually available another day or two during the week and for a short amount of time every evening.
