Lauren was great! I was really worried about leaving my golden Nash with someone other than family due to his anxiety, but with Lauren, I was able to not have to worry! As soon as Nash met Lauren, I could tell he really bonded with her and her experience with other anxious dogs made it an easy choice to book her. The amount of updates and pictures was amazing and Nash looked so happy. I will definitely be booking Lauren again for any future trips!

Lauren took great care of Cosmo while we were gone! I can be a helicopter dog mom but having her taking care of Cosmo let me relax and enjoy our vacation. Cosmo is reactive and has to follow a schedule. She made sure to follow Cosmo’s schedule as well as text me along the way so I don’t have to anxiously wondering if Cosmo had had her meds yet. She provided plenty of photos. And from all the photos, it’s clear that Cosmo loves spending time with her. We are a repeating client for sure!

Lauren was so great with providing updates while she was watching Wally. When we came home from our trip he was tuckered out from all the playing they did together!

As someone with an anxious, reactive dog, I was worried about leaving Cosmo home with someone for a whole week. Lauren did a very good job taking care of Cosmo, following her existing routine, and giving her extra love while we were gone. She kept us updated with lots of photos every day. It was very clear that Cosmo was very well taken care off. She also left the house spotless. We arrived home to a clean house and a happy dog. We feel so lucky to find Lauren. We immediately booked her for our next trip.

Lauren did an excellent job looking after Slinky and our house. She was professional in her communication, she provided consistent updates and pictures, and left everything in great shape. I would highly recommend Lauren.
