Huge animal lover

Pet care experience

I love animals and I treat them as my own children. This isn't just another job, this is what I love to do. I grew up with dogs in my family and I have since been fostering, dog walking, and dog sitting since living on my own after college. I’ve become more experienced with cats in recent years from sitting for friends and fostering. I’ll take care of any animal though, not just cats and dogs! I always receive great feedback from owners and am often put on their preferred list. Their safety and comfort is always priority. I am always prompt with communicating whether by text or phone call so please don't hesitate to check in! I'm happy to send pictures. I like to care for dogs with a great balance of activity and rest. I have experience caring for sick animals and administering meds. I am responsible and punctual, and am looking forward to making your pet my new best bud!

Lauren took great care of Riley and was great with communication. Will definitely reach out when I need to board Riley again.

Chauncey had a great time with Lauren! She updated me daily, and took care of my pup!

Nothing but good things to say about Lauren. She watched my puppy Scooby, who was adopted not to long ago and is still getting over a little bit of separation anxiety, but he loved Lauren-- which also eased my anxiety. Lauren updated me frequently, and I could tell she loved really loved dogs and liked spending time with Scoob.

Information Lauren W. would like to know about your pet

I have carpet floors so please let me know if your dog is prone to accidents when boarded. I would like to know if the dog nips and bites at clothing, so I will know to wear old clothes when I'm with them! I also would like to know if there is anything that triggers anxiety or distress (certain noises, movements, etc) I suppose the dogs that are my favorite are the ones that are cuddly and like to be pet!

A typical day

With your permission, I would love to take your dog to the dog park! I like to play with the dogs and their toys in my house as well. Tug-o-war toys and squeaky toys are the best! But of course, snuggling with the pups is my favorite!
