Availability

My pup typically has 2-3 long walks throughout the day and then one last short walk before bed, and typically this aligns with most pups schedules but I can accommodate for additional potty breaks if needed. I do go in to the office Monday - Wednesday, and am gone for about 6-7 hours those days.

Information Lauren W. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know what your dog's daily routine includes (walks, meals, daily habits/etc) and what special needs they may have throughout the day. And please let me know if there is any history of separation anxiety or health-issues to watch for while you are away. More than anything, I would love to know how best to keep your dog happy while you are away!

A typical day

I am flexible to provide what your pup needs! From relaxation and naps to snuggles, belly rubs, ear scratches to walks and playtime! While I'm working most pups hang out on cozy couches or dog beds near me, and during my breaks we'll go out in the local neighborhood & to nearby urban parks. I always walk pups on-leash and make sure to dry pups off thoroughly after rainy day walks. We love to hang out on the patio in our yard, with pups on-leash and usually occupied with a toy or chew/treat - though many are just happy to hang out in the sunshine and watch people walking through the neighborhood.

Pets

Loves pup-snuggles and play time!

Pet care experience

Plenty of love, snuggles, walks, ball-chasing, toys, and fun – a great sitter & buddy for your pup! I know how important it is to have trusting care while you are away - I do my best to provide a fun and caring attention for every pup in my care! For boarding in my home - Pups must get along with my Corgi (he's still puppy-aged and loves to play!). Our house does not have a fenced yard so dogs are always on-leash when leaving for walks around the neighborhood.

Lauren was the best!!! She is very communicative and made us feel comfortable with leaving our 1 year old pup for the first time, will be excited to have Milo stay with her again in the future 🐶💕

Fantastic first experience using Rover and having Lauren watch our dog. She communicated and sent photos and was flexible with ending time. Thank you Lauren!
