Pet care experience

Pet owner + lover in Oakland!

As a current pet owner of a rescue dog, I understand the challenges that come with working with dogs who may have experienced past trauma. My dog has struggled with severe separation anxiety in the past so I understand how to care for pets who may deeply miss their loved ones while they're away. Over the past 6 years, I've worked with senior dogs, puppies, household with 2+ dogs and dogs with separation anxiety and who take medication daily.

Safety, trust & environment

I can come to you to ensure your pet is comfortable, safe and maintains their regular routine and lifestyle. As a pet owner with a dog who has had severe separation anxiety, I've learned it's best to minimize the level of change associated with a trip away. I'll do everything in my ability to make sure your pet is having a great experience while they might be missing you!

Lauren is the absolute best! She has watched our verrrry anxious dog and cat many times and each time has taken care of them like they are her own. Her communication is paramount and she always goes above and beyond ♥️

I’ve lost count of how many times Lauren has expertly cared for our creatures by now! She is incredibly flexible, communicative, and our creatures obviously are so happy for her visits! She generously added several visits when our plans unexpectedly changed this time, and has been kind enough to bring in deliveries as well! Thanks again Lauren!

Lauren has taken care of our cat and (anxious) dog many times, and they both love her! Every time she watches them she is wonderful and communicative- would 100% recommend Lauren to anyone needing care for their creatures :)
