Reviews
Lauren watched our Labrador and it was a GREAT experience. She was attentive and very caring towards our dog. He had the best time, and I felt very comfortable while away from him. Lauren will be our number one sitter in the future. Thanks, Lauren for all you do!
Impeccable service again. Can't recommend Lauren more. She does an amazing job
Lauren was awesome. Jakku was much happier than if I would've boarded her. I felt as though Lauren watched after my pet as if it were her own.
Great communication, above and beyond care for our special needs pup!
About Lauren W.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Whether you pup is super active or a mellower speed, I can meet their needs. My own dog is fast and needs lots of engagement, so I'm well-versed in ways to make walks and runs exciting. Slow wanders through the neighborhood for less energetic dogs are equally lovely! I have a particularly soft spot for reactive and shy dogs and am ready for whatever they may need to take safe walks too. Large and small, medications or special dietary needs, I've seen it all and will help make sure your pet is comfortable and safe the whole time.

Information Lauren W. would like to know about your pet
Let me know ahead of time if you or your dog have any special preferences or needs. I'm very aware of reactive dogs--both my own and other dogs on the trail/sidewalk with us--and pay special attention to giving them the space that they need to feel safe. That said, knowing if your dog is particularly reactive and what triggers them will help me keep us all safe! Similarly, if your dog has a high prey drive, only likes littler dogs, can't walk very far, doesn't understand dog social cues well, loves sprinklers, only can take their meds after they've pooped, whatever it may be--let me know!
A typical day
Henry and I love a good game of fetch, running on the trails, or a quick bike ride. Recognizing that not all of these are suitable for all dogs, you and I will work together to decide what your pup will thrive on. I love taking dogs for runs, so if a run through the neighborhood or canyon is up your dog's alley, they're in luck!

Availability
My priorities are drop-in visits for trips less than 10 days or midday walks. Long-term arrangements and boarding are possible sometimes--it never hurts to ask. In order to offer the best care to current clients, I'm not looking for additional long-term daily walks or daycare dogs at this time. Short term (1-2 weeks) daily walks or daycare can work if the dog gets along with all the other dogs.
