Highlights
Pet care experience
Doggie Sitter
Hi, I’m Lauren! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a life without them. My doggy is high energy, super playful, and loves making new dog friends. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to seniors. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard directly outside my home, my neighborhood has a large, secure, fenced-in dog park. We also have plenty of green space for sniff walks and outdoor enrichment. I’m home on weekends and have the flexibility to work from home on specific weekdays. I prefer dogs who are crate trained and at least house trained. For puppies, I kindly ask that you provide a crate or playpen, especially for when I will need to leave the house. Let me know if you have any questions!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Lauren was an excellent host! She shared updates and photos throughout the day, & Niko had a wonderful time with Scooby. He came home happy, tired, and well cared for. We'll definitely be booking with her again!
Very patient and understanding
Lauren was absolutely phenomenal! She is an awesome communicator who sent me photo updates of my pup Knox constantly! It really helped put me at ease when we were out of town. I will definitely use her services again. Highly recommend!
Lauren is the best! She would watch my pup Whiskey when I'd have to go out of town for work and I always received lots of photos and updates on how she was doing. Her dog Scooby is so friendly and got along great with my dog. I always felt happy knowing Whiskey was being well taken care of and had a friend to hang out with as well. Highly recommend her
I can’t recommend Lauren enough! She’s absolutely amazing with animals and has a natural ability to make them feel comfortable and loved. Whether it’s going for long walks, playtime, or just keeping pets company, she treats every animal like her own. I’ve seen firsthand how patient, responsible, and genuinely caring she is… Any pet would be lucky to spend time with her!
I was roommates with Lauren for 2 years, and she was an awesome dog mom to her pup, Scooby! She always makes time to take Scooby on walks, feeds her premier dog food, and has all the gadgets and gizmos a dog could dream of. Scooby is incredibly well trained, as she knows more than the average commands. Additionally, Lauren is very tidy and keeps her space, as well as Scooby's things, very clean. Lauren goes above and beyond to make sure that her dog is taken care of, loved, and cherished. I have no doubt her dedication to Scooby will extend to others' pets. Scooby is also super friendly with other pups and is a complete lovebug.

Schedule
I work hybrid Monday - Thursday, half of the week is from home and the other half is in office. My office is about 15 minutes away from the house and I come home for a 2 hour lunch on the in office days to give the pups and mid day stroll and sniff. Friday - Sunday, I am home and only leave the house for 4hrs at a time if I have things to do.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a two story home with plenty of space for dogs to play, relax, and feel comfortable. It is mandatory that your dog is house trained and I prefer crate trained. For puppies, I ask that you bring a crate or playpen. If your doggy is not crate trained, no worries!
Pets
A typical day
I aim to take the dogs on 3-5 sniff walks a day for a minimum of 30 minutes each. The doggies are welcome to play inside, but if I can tell they are wanting to run, I will take them to the fenced in doggy park for some high energy play (fetch, sprints, etc...). We will also try to go on a 1 hour walk around the neighborhood after dinner most nights.
