Experienced and Trustworthy!

Pet care experience

I have grown up with animals all my life and began walking and sitting dogs 12 years ago! I have worked in dog boarding and training facilities and I went to Veterinary school for one year, so I have plenty of experience with all types of animals! I always tell people I don't work because I love what I do and that's being around animals! I am able to give the love and attention your pet needs and you can feel confident you left your pet in safe and knowledgeable hands. I treat any animal as if they were my own and my dog gets treated as if she were my daughter. I spoil dogs but at the same time I include training lessons during the time we spend together, so all the hard work you put in doesn't go to waste. And I hope to improve on some behaviors you don't like! While you are away, I am available to 24 hours a day 7 days a week while your pets are in my care, so you can rest knowing that I have your back anytime you need me. I am very active and love to get outdoors with my four legged friends. So you can relax knowing your pup is getting lots of needed exercise. You don't have to worry while your pets are in my care! Your pup will not fall short in the exercise and love department while in my care. If your pup comes to my home, I spend several hours a day in one of the many parks and hiking trails near my home, my favorite right now being Heckscher Park. If its our first time meeting, I will require a meet and greet before, this way we can both feel confident it's a great match!

Lauren was great with our dogs while we went out of town. She gave daily updates and asked questions as they came up. Our dogs warmed up to her very quickly.

Lauren is really amazing with my two dogs. I level them in her care daily while I am at work and when I come home they are always drained from their day with her. They really love her and trust her which was a big bonus for me because my dogs can be weird with certain people. Lauren always goes above and beyond for my dogs and I would recommend her to anyone who needs an honest animal lover to watch their pets.

Lauren has a special way with dogs. As soon as she enters a room they are drawn to her. She has been around pets of all kinds her entire life. She treats her dog with love, compassion, and care and would treat your dog no differently. I would highly recommend her.

Lauren was awesome! She watched my 3 year old lab mix, Bella, at our home while we were on vacation. She treated Bella as if she were her own! Bella received plenty of love and attention! We felt Bella was very well taken care of, safe and loved in Lauren's care. Barry C.

Safety, trust & environment

While caring for your animals in your home, I am willing to stay in your home so they have someone there with them all the time. If granted permission from the owner I will gladly take the dog/dogs on walks or hikes to the local park/Beach or around town. I love to play ball in the back yard as well. I went to veterinary tech trade school for a year, and have been around animals my whole life. I am very, trustworthy, active and very aware of safety when an animal is in my care. I also send daily updates of your animals with pictures/videos and a little update on their day.

Information Lauren W. would like to know about your pet

If the dogs are staying in my home they should get along with other dogs. There will almost always be another dog in the home and I would like to maintain a healthy and safe environment for all the dogs. I require proof of up to date vaccinations for every animal in my care. Unfortunately I do not accept any animals that have not been spayed or neutered.

A typical day

I love to be outdoors even when the weather is not so great, so your pup will always get exercise. I live right by Heckscher Park and frequently take the dogs on hikes here. If we aren't running through the trails and beaches in Heckscher we are exploring one of Long Islands other amazing parks. You can relax knowing your dog is safe and getting the love, care and exercise they need and deserve.

Availability

When your animal is in my care you can rest easy knowing they are safe and being well taken care of. I send daily updates (pictures, videos and a little update on their day) so you can feel a little better being away from them. A typical day may look like; wake up, potty and breakfast, go out in the backyard for a bit of play time or sun bathing. We then get ready for a walk or hike (either in one of the near by parks/beaches, or stroll through town. We then come back and some of us make take a dip in the poo) (if it's ok, I will bring my doggy pool to your home)We then usually get ready for dinner, and sometimes we do another little walk about an hour/hour and a half after dinner. Then get ready for some relaxing and bed time.
