Availability

I’m currently working part-time and spend the rest of my day as a homemaker while my son is in preschool so I would have plenty of time to handle your pups after I drop my son off in the morning. I can provide walks, medications, feedings and free play in our half-acre fenced in back yard.

Safety, trust & environment

I follow your guide lines with meal times and breaks. What’s important to you is what I aim to achieve in my visits wether that be play time, picture updates or cuddling on the couch making sure they feel comfortable when they stay for a visit or I come into their space. If your pup is one that can be ornery and needs more supervision rest assured I’m always home and do not leave them unsupervised unless we have arranged for them to have a crate if I need to run out. These are all things we can discuss in a meet and greet!

Information Lauren W. would like to know about your pet

Since I have a child I know just how important it is to make sure my little one is not in the dogs space. If you have any concerns please feel free to chat with me! For most of the day he will be away at school.

A typical day

My dogs personally enjoy light house wrestling and roaming the yard and lounging around. I’m able to play fetch and go on walks with the pups during the day.

Pet care experience

I got my first dog at the age of 10 and trained him myself, aswell as other family dogs we grew to love over the years. Now 30, I have 2 pups of my own that I’ve given my whole world to. I love my animals as if they are family and yours would be no different. I believe animals bring out the best in us & I try to bring the out the best in them when I can instill any behavioral help!

Lauren made our pups feel right at home! She remained in frequent contact and was flexible with any changes to our booking. She was amazing in setting up a meet up beforehand to ensure our dogs felt safe and got along with all parties in the home. We will for sure be using Lauren again as she has become a trusted sitter for our fur babies! Can't recommend her enough!

Lauren was a great sitter! She was very conscientious about making Max’s stay comfortable for him and checked in with me throughout the day. I would definitely have her watch him again

This is my second time booking with Lauren; she did drop in visits for my two dogs for four days. She’s amazing and appreciate her taking such great care of our girls!
