Happy pup = happy home!
Pet care experience
I would love to take care of your pup(s)! I love all dogs, and consider myself to be skilled and trained in meeting the needs of each dog in terms of exercise, patience, and love. I love caring for animals, and enjoy providing them with the love and comfort that they all deserve. My passion is fostering pups while they await their forever home! Fostering requires great patience, along with skillful training and understanding the specific needs of each dog in order for them to live their best life. I will apply the same care and mindset with your dog! I live in a pet friendly area, near a number of parks and trails! I also have a large fenced in and secure backyard that my own pup absolutely loves. I work from home, so I love all of the pup cuddles and fun energy to keep things exciting. I enjoy going for runs, taking frequent walks, and being outside, so I'm confident that I can keep your pet entertained and happy while you are away! I'm very responsive, and will notify you with updates and pictures of your pet having a great time on a daily basis. Pups are family when they are with me! That said, I am happy to maintain any house rules you have, as I completely understand that every pup and owner has different rules that fit best for them. This goes for any training/house rules that you have for your pup(s) - I'm more than happy to reinforce any training you've worked hard (or are working) to solidify! I would love to assist in making sure you come home to one happy, loved, and stress-free pup!
Reviews
Lauren is a fantastic dog sitter. We have an older dog who needs care and attention. Lauren was so great with our dog and very easy to work with. You can't go wrong w/ Lauren.
Lauren made Sancho very much at home during his stay. She was great with communication, both before and during. Sent several lovely pictures, and seemed to genuinely care for/about Sancho. I'd happily trust her with Sancho again.
Lauren was fabulous, as usual. We’re always surprised that Stella agrees to go home with us!
Lauren is amazing! Our dog Zeina boarded at Lauren’s apartment for three nights. Lauren was super easy to work with, communicative, and great with our pup. We’ll definitely be requesting to work with her again!

Information Lauren W. would like to know about your pet
All breeds are good breeds, but I would like to know a little bit about your pet before they come to visit! Do they like other dogs or dog strangers? Is there anything quirky I need to know about them? Details about barking and nervousness are always helpful, as I work from home and uncontrollable barking may not work here, unfortunately. Do they enjoy the dog park and meeting other dogs? What can I do to make them happy? I want this experience to be great for your dog, and you! I have a pup that's a little over a year old. He's quite mellow, but does get pretty pumped to meet new dog friends. Introductions are fun and exciting, but if your pup gets nervous, let's chat about how we can make this better for your pup (introductions in the fenced in back yard or while on a walk, etc.). Copper is very socialized and knows cues, so he will quickly adapt to your pup's space preferences. :) Please note, I love to make this experience positive and simple for pups and their owners, but appreciate drop-offs and pick-ups to be done by 7:00 PM.
A typical day
I live in the wonderful Lakewood community, right next to the amazing Fort Steilacoom dog park! We are frequent dog park visitors, so please let me know if you'd prefer your pup not visit dog parks while they are with me. When I'm not at the dog park, I love to bring the pups on my daily walks and runs around the area. Rest assured your pup will get exercise and enrichment with me!
