Lauren W.
Avid hiker and dog lover - Hythe, New Forest
Pet care experience
I'm a dog lover but sadly my work doesn't allow me to have my own so I get my fix by dog sitting for others. I frequently look after dogs for family and friends and have had only positive feedback.
Reviews
Lauren has looked after my two fur babies a number of times now and I cannot fault her. Having two bulldogs I tend to worry about the impact of the climate especially the heat has on them, Lauren is extremely in tune with the behaviour and concern around my two and takes every measure to ensure they are well looked after whilst in her care. I have absolutely no qualms leaving my two dogs with the lovely Lauren, she really is the most reliable and considerate person I would want to look after my fur babies!!
Lauren is so good with the dogs, they absolutely adore her. Given her previous experience with working dogs I knew my 3 little fluffs would be no issue, but she was great with them and they even know her by name now and get excited when I say she's heading over so she is always greeted with happy butt wiggles and smooches.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a bungalow just a 5 minute drive from the beautiful New Forest and 10 minutes from the local beach. The road I live in is quiet and I am the sole occupier with no pets of my own. I have a fair sized garden which is fully fenced and secure. I treat pets as I would my own and they are allowed on the furniture and the bed. I am a non smoker and maintain a tidy home. I'm strict with their diet so you can rest assured they won't be snacking on food that isn't good for them.
Information Lauren W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any allergies, fears (lightning, thunder, hoovers etc) behavioural quirks I should be aware of (how they are around other dogs, people etc)
A typical day
I’m a keen hiker so dogs will experience local forest and beach walks (length tailored to their age/ability). I have many friends with dogs so group walks/play can be organised if the dog is open to it.

Availability
I work full time Monday - Friday and one weekend in four. My work is flexible and allows for home and hybrid working giving me availability for walking and drop ins. I generally work from home Monday and Friday and am normally available from 4pm Tuesday - Thursday. My job allows a level of flexibility so if my default calendar isn't showing me as available, please give me a message and we may be able to work something out. I'm an avid hiker and walker so I'm no stranger to long walks in the forest and some canine company would compliment that.
