We took a break from sitting for a while when our dogs became seniors. We now have a dog that enjoys having friends over again! I also offer drop in services and would love to take your dog for a short walk, training walk or play time in the backyard if you need it!

Pet care experience

I am back! After taking some time off caring for my senior pups I now have a younger dog that loves playmates. I would love to drop in and walk your dog for you when you cant! I offer walks +/- basic leash training also! I have been pet sitting dogs and cats over 20 years! I am a licensed veterinary technician and also train dogs and their families addressing behavior issues. Do you have cats? I would love to stop over and feed them, clean litterboxes, medicate, or just play and love on them! When available I am able to do dog walks while you are gone for an extended about of time I have loved animals since I was a very small child. I always wanted a pet, no matter the kind. My parents started me as a volunteer with a dog rescue around 10 years old, and I have never looked back! I am now a licensed vet tech and help friends and family with dog behavior issues, dog walking and drop in visits and also kitty visits including nail trims! Meet my pets Chicago is a 4 year old playful husky mix who enjoys sunbathing and meeting new friends, About my yard I have a completely fenced in chain link backyard. We have had a history of escape artists with our own dogs so some parts are very tall and reinforced! No toxic plants or pesticides used in our back yard either! My experience administering medication Absolutely. ---- vet tech here! LoL

Colbie had an excellent time at Lauren's while my husband and I were away for our wedding. This was Colbie's first time away from our house and with other dogs. I was very apprehensive, but Lauren was very easy to schedule a meet and greet with, and she even watched Colbie for a few hours as a trial run to see how she got along with Lauren's pups. During Colbie's stay, Lauren kept us updated with pictures and videos. Colbie had an excellent time playing with Lauren's dogs, especially Tucker! Will definitely keep Lauren in mind the next time we need a sitter!

Lauren came to visit our kitties while we were on a last minute trip out of town. She was professional and accommodating. Lauren sent us pictures of our kitties while we were away and stayed in constant contact the whole time. I would recommend her again and again!

Lauren is a loving, dedicated, and responsible dog caregiver. You can see her love for dogs. She has watched our dog several times the past few years. Harley loves going, we have no worries leaving him there. I highly recommend Lauren.
