Pet care experience

I have extensive experience working with pups (and pet parents) who struggle with separation anxiety as well as long term periods of care for your furry little guys! My first memories as a kid are playing with my family's chocolate lab and I've been an absolute dog lover ever since. I spent 2 years as a Petsmart dog washer during my undergrad and learned valuable dog handling skills that would make me an excellent dog washer. I do tend to spoil dogs with love and affection and would absolutely pamper them.

Lauren was great with our very large dog. She stayed at our home for several days and even gave our dog a very thorough brushing. We will definitely be booking with Lauren again.

Lauren took great care of our dog while we were out of town. I would ask her to watch our lab again.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment with no other pets and have a large open area for leashed walks and potty time. I am a skilled dog handler and am able to ensure your pup will get enough exercise in a safe and controlled environment. I maintain a tidy home and don't leave things out for dogs to chew on or destroy and will keep the same level of cleanliness in your home.

Information Lauren W. would like to know about your pet

I like to know of dogs have any allergies and medical conditions as well if they are allowed to recieve treats. It's also important for me to know if they have any anxious quirks so I can accurately judge their stress level during our time together

A typical day

I love providing dogs with mental AND physical stimulation. I believe that making a dog think and problem solve is just as important as running off their extra energy. I love going for walks on the trails near my apartment and through Merrits Pasture. After all that exercise and play time I love to pamper and cuddle dogs to give them extra love and affection and ensure they have a positive experience
