Lauren was super great! She was able to meet up before had so I could get to know her a bit and give her the run down. She sent me updates everyday, and took super good care of my cat. Will definitely reach out again in the future!

Lauren took on the most unusual and last minute request for me- to keep a little feral cat in food and water while I was out of town. She was wonderfully professional and thorough, and I am extremely thankful she was there for me- and the lil cat. Thanks so much Lauren!

Lauren is a true friend to any fur baby. She cared for Tyson just as I would. She made sure he had his own space because he was the smallest of the pack. I really appreciated this gesture as Tyson is anxious around more than one big dog. Thanks so much!

Lauren was a great choice for my boy. I was happy and relieved he got along well and made another fur friend. 10/10 would recommend anyone to take a chance to have Lauren watch their fur baby. Thank you Lauren!

Safety, trust & environment

I have one dog, Kai, who is a wooly husky! I also have a cat named Sesame. Kai loves other dogs and will happily keep your fur baby company while you are away! She is very relaxed and laid back, but will happily play with a high-energy dog if they are around! I take her to the dog park very often, and will happily bring your pup along if you request that! Otherwise, we go on walks around the neighborhood. Sesame loves to play and is comfortable around dogs. If your dog is NOT good with cats, we will keep Sesame in her room.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day at our house starts with a potty/play break in the backyard at around 5:30 AM, then breakfast! The next potty/play break will be either as needed or at around 10 AM, then another at 1 PM, 5 PM, and bedtime. If the weather is nice, we will go on a walk in the afternoon. In the meantime, we will chill around the house while the puppies have the option to rest or play with the many toys we have available! :)

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or accommodations I can provide for them. I prefer pets who are social/friendly with other dogs and cats, but am happy to keep Kai and Sesame on the other side of the house as needed!
